Wait--Diet?! I DON'T WANNA

[-Linnie Chan-]

Yes, yes, it's true ladies and gentlemen, Nikolita has been put on a...-GASP- diet! By a...-whispers- Doctor..

Not~ Because I am overweight, because I have actually lost a fair amount of weight since I had my last journal up. I am at a solid 131lbs. And I am staying there, and eating. Not quite healthy eating, but I can eat anything, and stay at 131.

Lately, I have been experiencing insomnia, and excruciatingly painful headaches. I went to the doctor, and they gave me some medicine for my insomnia, and put me on the -drumroll- Migraine Diet! It's rather unfortunate.

This is a very, very strict diet. Infact, I am having to change my whole life around for it.

So, with all those things being cut out of my diet, that leaves me with, well, something, I'm sure! This will be a good learning experience for me, and any help would be MUCH appreciated. So, if you have any suggestions, I will quote them, and they'll end up here~

My mother is on a diet that excludes many of the same things as the migraine diet does.

She is also a Pescetarian (Fish eating "Vegetarian").

One thing she has learned is that if you want good food, you have to make it yourself.

Karina's Kitchen: Recipes from a [Gluten-Free] Goddess

I realize you can eat gluten, but my mother found this website particularly good because the author uses Agave syrup in place of sugar and she also includes a good selection of vegan foods.

I hope this helps.

Unfortunately, there is no exact goal weight, for this.
Infact, I don't even really want to lose weight, but I know it is going to happen. So instead, I have a different kind of goal!

Goal: To go one full week without a migraine, and be able to sleep 8 straight hours without medication, and to wake up and be happy, healthy, and feel alive. To be able to concentrate, and think straight, and able to pay attention for at least an hour at a time.

It sounds to me like a salad would be good to try. Lettuce, strawberries, Nuts, olives, mushrooms, radishes, green onion with an olive oil and Balsamic vinegar dressing. Add chicken strips if desired.
