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!
NOW
This is yesterday's weigh in...so I'm DOWN .2lbs this week--from eating this way--slowly but surely, YAY!!!
Thank you again ever so much for your post

{{{{{{{{{{ LOVE and HUGS and THE HIGHEST of fives to/for YOU }}}}}}}}} You're the BEST, period. 1 -
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.1
