    wow...you don't eat very much!


    Hi! Thanks ever so much for your concern/interest and/or comment-- Ya know, looks are deceiving and it "may" look to you like I'm "wow...you don't eat much, BUT let me show you how much I eat almost everyday--today for example:

    McCann's Steel cut oats 1.5 cups =750 cals
    Nutiva Organic Coconut manna =200 cals
    combo berries =100 cals
    1/4 cup of pecans =175 cals
    1/4 cup of walnuts =180 cals

    Rita's Italian ice =350 cals
    Rita's chocolate custard =450 cals

    Black olives =60 cals
    Green olives =60 cals
    Kalamata Olives = 45 cals

    So, let's watch/see just how little it "LOOKS" like I eat:
    This deceiving "looks like I don't eat very much" equals almost 2000 cals for today, actually it's 1,965 cals for today alone.
    I like to eat whatever I want to, whenever I want to, just smaller portions and/or less frequently through-out the day. I purposely choose to (on most days, depending on how I feel) eat the greater majority of my cals during my one or two meals per day, instead of spreading them out thru-out the day. I'm not following ANY diet/plan/program nor anything such thing, other that eating differently than when I was obese and overweight. I choose NOT to eat what the average person attempting to "lose" weight do/does. I choose not to eat several small meals of so-called "healthy" stuff thru out the day. I like to eat all kinds of stuff, including eating out at restaurants quite a bit and a lot of so-called junk foods/"unclean" foods as well. Eating this way has allowed me to, SLOWLY BUT SURELY blast a lot of unhealthy/unattractive/excess flab and fat and pounds and ounces into the place where the sun will never shine.

    A big ole yuckky 73lbs have been PERMANENTLY/FOREVER blasted off of my body, soul and spirit and I have gone from UGH/WOE is me size 22w to a YEAH BABY, size 8 (from 219.8lbs to today 146.8lbs) and slowly but surely making my way to a size 6. I'm just taking my everloving time and eating whatever I want to, whenever I want to. just smaller portion and/or less frequently throughout the day. and...I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I was obese and overweight...I used to eat like this/meals/foods of kind of meal 3 or 4 times per day--now I just eat these types of meals one per day OR smaller portions of stuff like this 2 times per. Or, if I jolly well feel like it, I'll eat 3 meals to equal these cals per day, it's just my "want to's have changed" and I'm so GLAD they have. I'm thrilled with my way of eating, just OVERJOYED with my new lifestyle of eating and living, again I LOVE IT!!!!! iT'S WORKING FOR ME AND I'M WORKING IT WITH JOY. But as most things in life, everyone is different and what works for some may or maynot work for others.

    My "Wow...you don't eat very much" has taken me from then to NOW (I took these pics from another thread I posted the other day)

    Just for comparison purposes...this is what 209.8 looked like on me. I don't have many "before" pics, because I refused to take pics of myself nor allow many pics to be taken of me when I was obese. It's a different story now, I not only "allow" pics of me to be taken--but I kinda like my pic being taken now. The shame/embarrassment/ugh of getting my pic took is 100% gone! I wish I could say I was "sorry" I don't have a lot of pics of me when I was obese/overweight, but I'm not, not at all. Those were days of UGH/WOE to me then--these slim and trim days are oh-yeah and YAY to me now!

    I think the whole exchange above about "you don't eat very much" was eye-opening, interesting, and speaks to the differences in portion sizes.

    I post a lot of treats for example and some might even think "wow you eat a lot and pretty much whatever you want!" but my portions are usually small for higher calorie items. I put cheese on everything but it's like 0.5 to 0.8 oz, instead of the actual serving sizes. You never know what works for someone else!

    My entry for today:

    Breakfast - open faced fried egg sandwich with mayo, mustard & pickles, coffee
    Lunch - lemon ricotta pancakes with extra lemon juice & 1 tbsp. of powdered sugar dusted on & a Morningstar sausage patty. More black coffee.
    Dinner - homemade thin wheat crust pizza light on the cheese & sauce, piled high with mushrooms, olives, artichokes & onions.

    Pics taken from the web--things I tried/ate, I had everything on the pic except the meat stuff in the middle, we had different meat dishes below. WOW! Who knew I'd LOVE split pea anything, it was the absolute bomb as was the beets/potato/carrots, collard greens... EVERYTHING
    was delicious, the injera spongy bread---soooooooo GOOD! Plus we had these:

    400xNxDoro-wat-in-pan.jpg.pagespeed.ic.-sPdg1jNtf.jpg


    33.jpg?w=600&h=800
    It's an Ethiopian tomato salad--YUM!
    AND some of this was on the large platter covered in injera bread--all of the food is on top of the injera bread and you use the injera bread to eat all the stuff with, WITH YOUR HANDS, everybody just digs in--- :) OR if you're like someone who will remain unnamed--and prefers to do it the un-traditional way, you can ask for a plate and fork and they'll happily give you one ;) too :



    Lastly, once more, I can not emphasize how GOOD this sponge bread called injera is--WOW, it's like a napkin you can eat--sooooo GOOD and you eat it with everything. Yuuuummmmmmmmmmm!

    Finished off with Ethiopian coffee...I've ALWAYS, all my life HATED black coffee with a passion, but this was the BEST black coffee ever! At first it tastes smooth, then a spicy mega robust strong flavor creeps in, not bitter at all, taste like a strange dark chocolate of sorts--thebombdotcom, period. WOW, who knew i'd EVER like black coffee--EVER! Eye-openingly YUM.

    Pics taken from the web--things I tried/ate, I had everything on the pic except the meat stuff in the middle, we had different meat dishes below. WOW! Who knew I'd LOVE split pea anything, it was the absolute bomb as was the beets/potato/carrots, collard greens... EVERYTHING
    was delicious, the injera spongy bread---soooooooo GOOD! Plus we had these:

    It's an Ethiopian tomato salad--YUM!
    AND some of this was on the large platter covered in injera bread--all of the food is on top of the injera bread and you use the injera bread to eat all the stuff with, WITH YOUR HANDS, everybody just digs in--- :) OR if you're like someone who will remain unnamed--and prefers to do it the un-traditional way, you can ask for a plate and fork and they'll happily give you one ;) too :



    Lastly, once more, I can not emphasize how GOOD this sponge bread called injera is--WOW, it's like a napkin you can eat--sooooo GOOD and you eat it with everything. Yuuuummmmmmmmmmm!

    Finished off with Ethiopian coffee...I've ALWAYS, all my life HATED black coffee with a passion, but this was the BEST black coffee ever! At first it tastes smooth, then a spicy mega robust strong flavor creeps in, not bitter at all, taste like a strange dark chocolate of sorts--thebombdotcom, period. WOW, who knew i'd EVER like black coffee--EVER! Eye-openingly YUM.

    I too remember the first time I went to an Ethiopian restaurant and became an instant fan of it all...oh, and the coffee rocks too :p

    Uhhhhhh...you left this one out--it's my ALL time favorite, this fabulous lamb dish is at the Ethiopian place, soooooo yummy--the bombdotcom, period.
