thank you. You answered 90% of my random questions I was digging through the search option for with those links. :angel: And I appreciate the warm welcome.
Hi Teela! It's nice to meet you *huggles and hands cookies* =]
I love oatmeal raisen cookies, :) got a random question, when you went on hrt?/ if you did, did your tastes/ food cravings change? for me, seafood, I hated the stuff and I absolutly love it now, im addicted to fried popcorn shrimp likes flies are to dung :laugh: curious if thats a semi normal occurance.
Teela - that's a neat name. Welcome from your friends in southern California.
Hi Teela, and welcome. Judging by your photo Thor just doesn't work. :laugh:
I have always liked seafood, but since starting HRT I find myself basically living on it. I have to make a deliberate decision to buy red meat or chicken now. I usually end up with steak and either grill it to have with a salad or in a stir fry. No sausages or burgers really. It is good I moved to Tasmania, the fish and shellfish here are fantastic. Only thing we don't have locally is prawns (shrimp to you).
I have also gone off nuts, and don't eat as much chocolate as before. Weird I know ;)
Karen.
only reason I gave up nuts is because they are high in natural T. im a honey roasted cashew addict. Tasmania? Thats so cool!. I lived in japan for about 2 years about thats the only real traveling abroad i've ever done, aside from spend a week in canada.

Hi Teela and welcome to the group.

Well, I'm semi normal and I'm attracted to dung. Feel free to seek out my advice anytime! See you around! Hugs, Devlyn
Hi Teela ,
Another big Aussie (Sydney in fact; not as far south and cold as Tassie is.) welcome to Susan's family. It's good of you to drop in and say "Hi". Hope you like it here, and you stay for a while.
There is a mountain of information, resources and friendship waiting for you here, you just need to jump in and start talking.
Good to see you are enjoying the moving forward stage in your journey. Those little breast pains are a nice feeling, except when you are in a checkout or bank queue and they decide to shoot sharp pain instead. You look funny when you jump unexpectedly while grabbing your offending breast.
And as for changes in diet, 3 months in, all I could or wanted to eat for lunch each day, for a month, was a can of beetroot. I thought I was pregnant :laugh: :laugh: (Not from the lack of wishing ;D )
Looking forward to hearing more of your story in time to come, but in the meantime, be safe, well and happy.
Lotsa huggs
Catherine
