I have done great with juicing, eating raw and healthy. Today I need some meat. It's just so over powering. I could never go 100% raw. It would kill me. So I am making curried lamb for Wanton Boi and going to have some. I'm going to chop a BUNCH of herbs and lettuce with a light cucumber sauce.
I'm not sure if I should feel defeated for lacking discipline or accept that I just fucking love good food. That the explosion on my tongue is as good as an orgasm. I watch shows like Top Chef and others with anticipation and fantasy. Is it an addiction to food or epicurus indulgence? "I stopped fighting my inner demons, we are on the same side now. -- unknown"

Sounds to me like people who *really* appreciate fine wines, and I don't know any who are alcoholics.

![]() I don't think it's the "good" food that's made any of us too heavy...I know it isn't for me. I can eat delicious meals and, as long as I don't bury things in cream sauce and butter regularly, that was never my problem. What made me gain weight was quantity...and the crappy food I ate...donuts, chips, candy, sodas. I fully intend to keep eating filet mignon, and fresh steamed asparagus with a little butter, and baked potato (although I've discovered plain greek yogurt is a fabulous replacement for sour cream) ...and I will probably periodically go out to eat my favorite mexican food....or bake a batch of cookies. What I'm not doing anymore is eating fast food, drinking soda, eating potato chips, deep fried stuff, etc. But, let's face it, that was never the really "good" stuff anyway!

My weight came on post-T, and I'm not one of those who claim that T made me eat more. I call bullshit on that anyway. For me, I gave up my career and moved to the other side of the country. With more time on my hands and stressors I was not prepared for, I decided to "add happiness" in the form of donuts for breakfast, ice cream on top of brownies (frequently), big subway-style sandwiches for lunch, and LOTS of eating out on the weekends. I treated myself to that kind of crap before, but it was only from time to time because I was at work for 10 hours and sleeping for 9. When you give up a lifestyle like that, you have lots of time to discover new crap.......that tastes damn good!!

I'm on a good pace of 2.4 lbs per week. 12 to go to hit one goal.

Good Afternoon Everyone,
I finally hopped on the scale this morning. I weighed in at 168lbs with some of that being water weight from mother nature. I'm still watching everything I eat and I'm having oatmeal squares cereal as a snack. After my 401K meeting, I had a small amount of tuna, shredded mild cheddar cheese, a dash of basil, a dash of ground black pepper and half of a teaspoon of kraft olive oil mayo on a bed of baby spinach and a cup of sugar free peaches for lunch. Have a great day, Zimmy

Good luck, Corkey! Are you doing a formal plan or just making better choices? Sorry if you already posted that and I missed it...

Well, being differently abled it's rather a crap shoot most days. The plan is to put less food in and walk, swim, Wii, and lift as often as possible. Some days I feel great, others not so much. I have a personal philosophy, all things in moderation. I read Jillian Michaels online and that helps at times when my will power is on the lacking side.

Well hey there y'all
Man, we have had some awesome updates today. Y'all are rocking along... keep up the great work! This awesome group here continues to motivate me to keep on going... we can do this, YES WE CAN! Well, last night's grilled dinner didn't happen. Instead, I came home from work to find my honey cooking up a big pot of taco soup. She even made the healthier modifications... and it was AWESOME! I had a big ol' bowl for dinner along with a garden salad and one for lunch today! Here is her recipe that she used: Browned ground turkey with onion add to the pot a can of each... Low sodium stewed tomatos No salt added corn Ranch style beans Kidney beans 1/2 - 1 packet of low sodium taco seasoning (depending on how spicy you like it) 1/2 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch and a couple cans of water Simmer for about 45 minutes.... VOILA! Let me tell you, it's even better the next day after all the seasonings soak in! Mmmmm! I can't tell y'all how excited I am for all the positive changes that are happening with so many of y'all. THANK YOU for sharing this journey with us!!! Tonight, gym time it is! I've downloaded some booty shakin' music to keep me going... IT'S ON Tomorrow is my weigh in day. We shall see! |
