I don't know what to eat or buy at the grocery anymore

Have you ever thought of working with a nutritionist? I think it's possible some new doors would open for you. Seems like a new dietery path might be in order.

Last year my cardiologist said something to the effect that if I didn't start losing weight, he was going to have me talk to their nutrition counselor. Since the, I've been shunted over to another doctor who said he is pleased that I am slowly losing weight and to keep it up. A nutritionist can only suggest a diet, but it may not be one that I like the foods.

Sometimes I do. Today it was meatballs which I don't care for, so I didn't get it. I stopped at the library, but it looks like they haven't had anything new delivered in weeks. The potatoes are starting to sprout and the carrots are rubbery. No eggs, just when I need some.

I did get some rice cakes at the store. They are okay for breakfast with some peanut butter on them. Also bananas, seltzer, cereal and wheat crackers. I make a cereal mix that I almost inhale when I have it - 1.5 cups plain Cheerios (or generic oat rounds), 1 cup "extra raisin" raisin bran, 1/4 cup lightly salted peanuts and 2 tbsps mini-chocolate morsels. Mix well, than splash enough diet cream soda to just moisten.

Did you not start a thread about lack of free food at the library.

Aside from the bananas you bought junk food; empty calories.

To be blunt - if it is to the point that you need to lose weight it is time for a sit down and coming up with a plan. What you like may be secondary.
