Hello everyone,
What a wonderful website, I could spend days - nay longer here - just browsing this "bank" of information you have all created. This is my first day. It's Monday March 4, 2002. On the weekend I stocked up on a wide variety of greens, cheese, eggs, canned salmon, tuna, hamburger, bacon and chicken. I'm sipping my way through my first of 3 X 500 ml. of water as I write. For breakfast I had scrambled eggs made with cream and garnished with cracked black pepper. The simple act of preparing and garnishing my food will help to develop the habit of doing this for me and me alone.
I'm a mother of a 10 and 7 yr old and wife of a husband who likes to cook, perogies, pasta, chili, you name it. I bake, am known for my great desserts and this will be a test. I do not plan to give up baking since I do not normally eat skads of my delights but am a taster. I enjoy baking for the pleasure of it and for others. I have been overweight by 40 - 50 lbs for 9 years. Since my first pregnancy. Developed hypothyroidism and blamed that from then on. Not anymore. I am counting on succeeding with this diet, I am new to it again, although am familiar with it having tried the induction about 4 yrs. ago. It was difficult when the children were smaller and I basically threw out any chance of losing weight and getting to where I was.
Now I'm coming back, it's my turn. I'm going to try really really hard, ok I want to get gorgeous - there I said it! I want to leap out of bed everyday and not have to worry how my clothes will look or feel. I want to lose my obedience to pasta and unwanted and unnecessary chocolate treats. I never used to eat the volume of carbs. i.e. pasta, rice, bagels, muffins etc. because they were not in my diet. I'm originally from Ireland, where we ate heartily on fried bacon, chops, etc., real cream, real butter and in our household no pasta was ever served. Rice was for puddings baked long hours in the oven. We did not have snacks, and never ate before a meal.
I hope to be able to maintain a journal, I don't have access to the internet at home (probably a good thing because I could do a lot of late nighters with you guys) - so I visit during breaks and lunch for inspiration.
Thanks again everyone for a website that is truly inspiring, very organized, comfortable, informative, honest and above all it features real life situations.
