Wow, what a response Sharon. Very detailed. It does seem that you managed to pass and defeat temptation in terms of food. Food for fuel. Food for thought.
Some interesting items you have as a snack like Thai Holy Basil seeds. We have used the Holy Basil leaves in Prak Kah Peow, but never knew about the use of the seeds.
Lime is a good shout to put in your food as it helps and cuts down the food, right? As well as it's other benefits.
We guess you have to work around your illness as well as knowing where you were and the journey you have been (and still going on). It must have been tough, but it seems like you have managed it well and have a grip on things.
Thanks for sharing details of your incredible journey so far and hopefully we'll meet in person soon. :)

That would be awesome to meetup. Be sure to connect with @maverickfoo. I'm just talking to him now about trying to get something set up in Bangkok soon.
The seeds are great. They are like chia seeds and swell in water, but much quicker. They soak up my lime juice :)
I'm glad for anyone to be interested in my health information. We all have different journeys and issues, but we can all be healthier with the right nutrition and habits.
I call my old way of eating "stuffed yet starving." I was eating a lot of food, but none of it had any nutrition. Therefore no matter how much I ate, my body still needed more.
Hahaha funny, we were actually looking at his page as he was mentioned in @aaronleang's recent blog post and we did follow him. We will be sure to connect with him :)
Wow, didn't know that as we love chia puddings with our smoothies. It's amazing the difference between chia seeds and chia seeds soaked in water/milk.
We see your point with the "stuffed yet starving" and people do generally over-eat and not the right stuff too.
We don't know if you have been in Thailand for a long time to notice, but Sam has been back and forth countless of times and thinks he sees a difference in the amount of obesity in Thailand. It's not a major problem (yet). Though, he believes it's down to the change in diet and availability of chains/fast foods. It's just an observation, he might be wrong and maybe wasn't noticing this before.
Yes, I most definitely see obesity here. It's something always on my mind. The fast food is doing it and some people has this propensity like me anyway.
Maybe soon we will have all the Thai steemers together. I hope so :)
It's a sad sight to see.
Let's hope it's a meet up this year! :) #hopeful
Count me in! Hopefully I'm available and flight ticket don't squeeze me 😆
