Hey there Warriors, another beautiful day.
Just got back from dining out. I ended up eating eggs and bacon. It was nice and filling and I stayed OP. I was totally ready to just sip on Ice Tea if they didn't have anything that was acceptable. DH was a little concerned because I brought the hash browns home for him to eat later, and gave him my toast. He said I should live a little since it was 4th of July weekend. he still doesn't get it even after 2 years that I have been eating this way. DD is always watching her weight. If she gains 2 pounds she goes in a frenzy. But she gets concerned because I choose to eat the way I do. She believes the hype and propaganda. I took my walk this morning, didn't climb the hill. My joints have finally settled down. May have to look into hip replacement surgery. I understand how you feel Jamackarch, I wish my husband would get on board. Maybe your hubby will see how well you are doing one of these days and follow suit. You are right Bernie, I have done quite a bit of the same thing. Today I was out and it was one o clock. I was hungry so I got a bacon cheese burger at wendy's and trashed the bun. I find it easy to find food. I haven't weighed myself lately, but have gradually got myself down to a smaller size. But my other issues have resolved themselves. That was what I have been after. And I don't spend my day thinking of my next meal I can concentrate on something more worthwhile. Finally food can be fuel and not an obsession. Hope everyone has a fantastic 4th of July. Blessings and Peace; |
Jama, great attitude. don't worry, food is around that we can eat :) just eat what LC stuff you can and what is worse for us...we 'try' to use the situation to go OFF plan. your mind says, ahhh, only XX to eat, I am starving so I might as well eat whatever then get back on plan when I can find my food. Believe me it doesn't work :) tried it, and it always screwed me up. Like you said you won't die with missing a meal :) It gets extremely worrisome when we loss that control of our meals, but in reality, we always have control. we can find our lc foods, might take a bit of work but we can keep on plan!!
jmh, good going on a smaller size! Simple, easy meals are key. stay on those and while it 'never really gets easier' in a way about this monster food change since we are surrounded all the time by carb-junk, eating simple easy meals and the same ones basically means it takes all the stress off 'dieting'. No excessive thinking about meals....that is what helps me. I know my foods and I stick with those and that focus on what to eat is gone, less challenging and keeps me in control. HI ALL busy day again my pool is cloudy....can't seem to get it sparkling again like when I left...that drives me crazy :) but working on balance and filtering like mad so soon I hope. nothing new to report...just doing my thing and whittling away the day :) |

What a fab-tastic WINNING attitude to have concerning NOT eating those horribly addictive, insidiously toxic, poisonous :skull: killer carb-age foods! You are so ROCKIN' our incredible LC WOE! WTG! Woot! Woot! |

BTW: We're all living examples of what is possible once we say, CHEATING is so not worth what we've accomplished and what we plan on accomplishing! We just have to Keep Fighting the GOOD Hard Fight every single blessed day by staying 100% OP and letting tomorrow take care of itself! :thup: |

All you can do is serve as an example that the LC WOE is best for you no matter what! Hopefully, she'll realize that too! :thup: Quote:

Why don't you weigh yourself? You should never fear the scale b/c IMHO, if you're eating 100% OP everyday, the scale will reflect that! Quote:
B/c I was like that as "Fat Jo"! I spent what felt like hours obsessing about my next carb-age fix. Hell, sometimes I wasn't even finished face-planting in a carb-age laden dish and I was thinking about what I was going to have next.... I was one sick sick sick carb-addict for sure! :agree: Once I seriously went HC A '72, food did not hold that same passion, obsession for me. I regard food simply as something to nourish my body! That being said, I don't want you to think I don't :rheart: LOVE what I eat...b/c I do! :agree: Here's a great quote that really sums up how I feel about food these days: Quote:

cheating keeps the miserable useless frustrating and insane cycle alive for us carby sensitive people. the insane cycle of diet and fail!! cheating is useless for a super carb sensitive addict :p :thup: we all know that here. we tried and tried to work carbs into our lives and was on an endless train of failure and misery. for those who must eliminate carbs to make this work and the best results for their body-----cheating is a 0 option. one bite can screw us up (ask me how I know that one :D :D ) You will read '''some can cheat''' like crazy and lose and do fine. WE ARE not those people. And while not fair! :p , nothing in life is. Once you know you are a carb sensitive person, you must act on the solution...solution, abstain, do not even pretend to try to 'moderate'. will never work for our type!! great advice on the board about HOW WE must do it! Super carb addicts---we must be warrior strong and we are :thup: |
The Big FAT Fix
Excellent article that Janet (JEY100) shared today on this thread:
The Big FAT Fix "Eating MORE fat while cutting carbs and quitting sugar can help you lose weight and be happier, says top cardiologist" If you've got the time, I know it's so well worth reading! Especially since this is a doctor who totally supports and lives LC WOE! Here's my response in that thread: Quote:

CHEATING for me means deliberately, purposefully doing the complete opposite of what I know I have to do to maintain my good health & keep the weight off! Here's a couple of great quotes, IMHO, to add to the mix: Quote:
'With knowledge comes power and with power comes great responsibility" anonymous |
yup and I am off reading how a 'pasta meal' put a person's type 2 diabetes into 'scary zone' and they said, they can 'control' it with correct choices........well you can CURE it with the correct choices all the time :) yet so many don't get it and never will. the food has the power.
not being flip or whatever here cause I WAS one where food had the power. NOW I DO and it makes a world of difference in MY life. simple as that. but it takes alot to get here :) and everyone is on their own path. some see, some will never!! |
Happy Saturday Warriors...
Today is a clean, clean, clean day! I am in the process of going through all my kitchen stuff to downsize. My cupboards are full of stuff we don't use from our former SAD days. Eating the way we do now we really don't need to keep that much kitchen crapola. Boxing stuff up to donate. Will check with DIL first to see if she wants anything. I have been going through garage storage too and throwing out or donating stuff. It's a start... It feels good to o be purging stuff!!! Have a super duper terrific weekend all :wave: |
Surgery is done. First day was pretty rough. Second day they brought breakfast...I only ate the broth, because everything else had sugar. By lunch (same options) I was awfully hungry. I had a few pecans, only 4 carbs per ounce. Then they allowed food, so i ordered eggs and cheese. Same for dinner. Today I am tired, but doing ok. I know nuts aren't induction, but Atkins said his only real problem with them was how addicting they can be. It helped me not eat the carbs they ordered (even though I called ahead with my request). So, probably several days of rest and pain meds, and 6 weeks of restricted activity.

But some of these poor people are probably following the advice of their doctors who are ALSO very misinformed... it's sad, so very sad! Quote:
But you're absolutely correct, some will never see! :agree: |

I did that before I moved into my new house. I gave my DDs everything I didn't need to live my WOE. I boxed up everything and when they came to visit, I had them take those boxes home with them to AZ. I let them sort out what they wanted & had them donate the rest to whomever! :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote:

Atkins sure knows about nuts and I think that's also the same reason why he restricted cheese... it's addictive to a lot of us with portion control issue! I know I can't do cheese or nuts for that reason! Wishing you a speedy recovery! :agree: |
