I found the biotin. And MSM, too!

I know I said I was trying to get all of my nutrients from foods rather
than from supplements, but I was at the store yesterday and came across
biotin. So many people over the past couple of months have suggested to
me that I biotin or MSM to get my hair to start regrowing that I
finally relented. But will I have the same results they do? This bottle
advertises its use for hair, skin and nails, and incudes MSM along with
the biotin. The vitamins were on sale- get another bottle of vitamins
for half price. Naturally I got vitamin D , since that's the other bane
of my existence these days. I purposely did not get a mutivitamin
because it is still my intention to obtain my RDA of nutrients through
diet. If I get a multivitamin I'll get lazy about choosing my foods
with care.
I have a vacation coming up- not one where I don't attend classes or go
to work, but one where Felicia will be out of the house for a few
days. That's a vacation for me because I get to do a few things on my
own schedule and in my own way without affecting her. Over the past
few weeks I have been dreaming up a special treat I might indulge in
while she's away- something way off the beaten path. Why do I want to
do this? Who knows- maybe just to test myself, or maybe just for the
sheer fun of eating something that has little nutritional value for a
change, dangnabbit! Isn't that what vacations are all about? I might
try something as benign as sushi with rice (I've been avoiding rice).
Or it might be... No, I can't tell you. Not yet. :-D
It may be that I won't indulge at all; I mean, if I really wanted to
indulge in something I could have done it by now (when you're a
compulsive eater you learn how to sneak)! But I've noticed that these
days I can see a junky treat as being just that- a treat. A rare event
in my life. I've come such a long way these past 6 months! I used to
live on junk and considered healthy foods to be a rare treat (or
punishment, if it was spinach). Now that healthy foods are my life,
the less-nutritional foods are in their rightful category of rare
indulgences. Joy!
NOTE: For those of you who are curious about the latest on Felicia's progress since she went raw, check out her journal. She continues to lose weight and is now looking into plastic surgery to deal with the loose skin she's acquired. (To those who do not know, Felicia had gastric bypass surgery
in 2004 when she weighed over 350 lbs. This year she successfully
turned to a raw diet to combat compulsive eating, cravings, and weight
regain).
