Fretho: Can you provide a list of some resources to read further on the primary, secondary and tertiary MBTI styles? I have taken the MBTI both privately and in a group, but have not run across this interesting information.

I think that learning more about your MBTI style could be very helpful. I have been thinking a lot lately about my energy level for dealing with people, which I think of as different than my general energy level but maybe I should consider them the same. I am slightly over the line toward Introvert, and as such being around people for long periods can drain me. Unfortunately, I am working in human resources at present. I think this is affecting the energy and motivation I have after work for social activities and friends. I'm trying to find the right balance--ways to manage my time during the workday so that I'm not constantly being drained by interactions with people and thinking about a possible career change.

I agree with Keith's post about the potatoes. They are high GI (glycemic index) and as a person with hypoglycemia, I have unfortunately had to limit them as they can cause a bad reaction (low blood sugar). Potatoes are the most recent food that I've had to add to the list. There are other things that I cannot ever have--fruit juices, any drinks with sugar, bagels, pancakes--unless I want to go up and down the blood sugar rollercoaster. And I'm a real foodie, believe me. Sometimes I can have these foods in the evening in the right combination with a fat or protein, but never first thing in the morning.
