We trashed the sodas, chips, cookies

Lichent

my best buddy and I detoxed our cupboards. We did a cleanse,. We have been lurking around the message board for a couple of months but just joined.

We want to thank all those who posted with how important it is to look at what we were putting in our bodies.

We have a certified nutritionist for our meals, worth the money and a fitness trainer. We also see the doctor regularly. The three of them advised it would be good for us to rid ourselves of the junk foo and sodas.
We do have our own diet plan that we write down daily.

My buddy is down 12 pounds in two months , I am reduced by 14 .

We are going strong.

Good for you. I respect your choice.

However, I didn't trash the soda, chips and cookies and I am down 18.8 lbs in a month.

To each their own.

My lifestyle consists of 80 percent healthy and 20 treats.

As long as it is something you are ok with for life. That is all that matters.

So you basically turned it into a house of deprivation. I will think of you as I enjoy my Ben & Jerry's tonight.

I agree with you. Ben & Jerry's is YUMMMMY

OP - Avoiding these types of foods in your home does not help you develop a healthy relationship with these types of food or any food for that matter. Unless you live in your home 24/7, you will be faced with these type of food challenges when you are out and about.

Please tell me that when you say 'trashed' you didn't actually throw perfectly good food into the trash, but that you donated it to your local food bank?

my buddy used to be a smoker... and giving up the junk he said , the chemicals , the enhanced chemical sweets that was in our food was just like quitting ciqarettes

the caffeine hit , the sugar hit, it was just like was like getting a hit of nicotine.n he said.

Our doctor and fitness trainer agreed. That it is why it is so hard to quit the junk food. It has been chemically manipulated, to taste good and give a rush.

hey it was no easy going to quit the junk but the results are worth it. We are no longer slaves to the junk and we are going full steam.

to answer your question we thrashed it. We did a cleanse we we took 48 can of our diet sodas . We opened each one and poured them down the sink.
I joked and said to my buddy we are going to have clean pipes , with all those chemicals it could be draino.
the empty cans went to recycle. hey from now on we are reducing our footprint on the enviroment.

The cookies , the chips, the snack bars, the frosty cereals, the frozen low fat dinners they all ended up in a big paper bag and put it in ithe garden waste bin. We had to bring out an extra garbage bin that week for garbage collection.

hey we congratulated ourselves , hey we are junk food junkees no more.

i packed-up all foods (non-perishable) and took it to our food bank. all the fresh foods, we ate them until they were gone so as not to waste money. but we won't be buying more!

Those poor cookies:(.

Those poor cookies:(.

and the poor diet soda too .....

If it was perfectly good food we would not have thrown it out. I didn't send it to the food bank.
We don't send ciqarettes to the food bank.

If we choose to donate we want to make sure we are keeping our principals up., now that we are becoming educated on food. I want to make sure that the food bank is getting the same good quality that we are eating. not products that we are putting in our garden waste. The only good thing is that it is biodegradable.

I know I sound excited but I am so stoked with this new energy |i have got from eating well. and the new lifestyle we have got going for ourselves.

It's a bit extreme, but hey, whatever works for you. You just need to realize that the most sustainable weight loss / weight maintenance plan is one that doesn't forsake entire food categories. I still eat chips and drink soda, but rarely and in moderation. Because I still eat them I don't exactly crave or miss them, I would open a big bag of chips, take a couple of handfuls then stop. That big bag would last a week, sometimes more.

I control the food, it doesn't control me.

...k then.

I can respect changing your lifestyle and giving your kitchen an overhaul to help you move forward with your changes, but throwing out perfectly good food that could have been donated, pouring soda down a drain...I can't respect that.

I hope your education on food continues and that some time, months from now, you're able to look back and see that going to extremes isn't needed. Good luck.
