I'm not a fan of repetition in my meals, I rarely repeat the same meal twice in the course of three months. That being said, I do eat a great deal of veggies every day in one form or another. I LOVE veggies and would easily be vegetarian if it weren't for my need to cook for the entire household and being unwilling to…

When we were both much younger, he's several years older than I, I was told I looked like George Michael. Even Taylor Dayne, allegedly a close personal friend of his, stopped me in a music store and commented on the resemblance. Much more recently, and I just don't see it, I've been told I look like Dean Cain. (In my…

I feel old because I don't know who half of them are. The ones I did recognise are actually older than I thought. :)

I'm hypoglycemic and get them all the time. I find a glass of oj usually does the trick. Yes, it's calories but I have to do something. If this is a regular thing perhaps you should see a doctor to find out if there's something else at fault. Diabetes, hypoglycemia etc.

Your best bet is sashimi. The raw without the rice. My favorite way to go. Although I must admit an affinity for unagi (eel).
-
Since I LOVE veggies, and could eat them all day, I count them. If I order a sandwich almost anywhere it's usually veggie. Veggie Delight at Subway. I do however add mayo and avocado (I know!), so I have to add that to my calories. But as someone else said, if you're ordering a standard Subway sandwich, the basics are…

Oberon is not female. Nor is Puck. Just sayin... :wink: practical wish, to be employed I don't know that I have a philosophical wish...

I've been working out 6 days a week since I began this journey. Then I was sick for the last 2 weeks, I didn't exercise at all and lost 10 pounds! Just a cold, I still ate, in fact probably over the usual since I was inhaling oj big time. I hadn't lost ANYTHING in months. I've continued to lose this week. I may now take…

Mine is private because many of my recipes are proprietary. I actually have friends who would stalk me on MFP just to get certain recipes I've refused to share. :devil: I'm not selfish about all of my recipes, but there are a few I don't want leaked. :wink:

Chili's isn't the only one. El Torito is also guilty, as are several others. However, I also find the ones who do list them and seemingly find nothing wrong with their counts/portions frustrating. Bring a person a reasonably sized meal for one, with a reasonable nutrition analysis, and not a family of four's meal on a…

FAILURE! I can handle nearly anything else, to some extent. But abject failure terrifies me.

sugar free caramel pudding! :tongue:

It's not necessary, but it is a viable option. I've not done it as a "jump start," but I do, periodically, undergo a detox because it makes me feel better overall. If you're seriously considering it, I recommend 'The 3-Day Energy Fast' by Pamela Serure (1997). I've used it for years, and yes I always lose weight with it,…

Seems to me it would be just as easy to boil a few eggs over the weekend to use throughout the week. But then, I never use a microwave. Pitched it about 20 years ago and have never missed the thing!

My ONLY reason: to die in a better looking body!:devil: I want to die before 50 and look good doing it! I have never had a "someone else," so no reason to get thinner/ or healthier for anyone but myself and the coroner. it has also helped, a little, with my Bi-polar issues.
-
Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm bi-polar, hense the bad day, and chocolate exacerbates the problem. So, no chocolate milk. :( Additionally, due to allergies, peanut butter and avocado are off the list.
-
Thanks all! I had a fair bit of fruit, mostly watermelon, but some banana, orange, and apple as well. Better than not eating. I don't keep junk in the house, never have. So that's no concern. I just really never have liked to eat, but I have, over the last few months, learned to do so and don't want to be derailed for an…

I am in the same boat as you and actually, much as reports indicate, exercise and weight loss have helped. I was on Zyprexa for 3 years and gained over 100 pounds. (it also made me a zombie) Anyway, without becoming long winded, my point is I understand and congratulate you on taking the steps to improve, as best you can,…

You go girl! Congrats! You look great! :flowerforyou:

I had about the same thing and without dessert I'm at 567. I'd have to quess all those sweets are pretty high. It's a holiday, this doesn't happen every day. Enjoy!
-
no kids = no candy. I did, however, just make a fresh coconut cake and you can bet I'll have a slice. But I'll log it. The rest of the meal's pretty sensible and I'm not a big eater anyway, so I'll be alright. It will be particularly easy to refrain from over indulgence as I'm not a fan of red meat and we're having prime…

There's a huge difference between being a pack rat and being a hoarder. My Grandmother was a horder and deeply ashamed of it. She COULDN'T part with anything, it was pschological. Even though much of what she kept was, in fact, trash. It is a disease. My roomate of 22 years is a pack rat, she will part with things, she'd…

macadamias, walnuts and hazlenuts! YUCK!

"BUMP" everyone should read this! Thanks!

If every day were like today, it would be a chance for a new beginning. Yesterdays mistakes are a thing of the past. There is no guaruntee of tomorrow, but today I can achieve great things! I can travel the road to a healthier self, I can be a better person, friend and son. I can live to make the world a better place. I…

So what am I doing wrong that I can't find it?
-
Fortuantely, there are only 2 on the list I'd even consider. And those I have maybe once a year! There were several I've never heard of and most of them didn't appeal to me at all. The up side to not liking ice cream or chocolate, I guess! :smile: Thanks for the info! :flowerforyou:

I am NOT overweight, I'm custard filled!

Someone posted weeks ago that we needed a "like" or "thumbs up" option like Youtube; this is a prime example of why that's true! Thanks so much! As a perfectionist myself, I have learned a great deal about what I CAN and WILL tolerate during my journey to a heathier self. I CAN make mistakes and still love myself and still…

My elliptical broke in January, I can't afford a new one. $1000 would just about cover the cost of a new one! That being said, I just spent more than that trying to get a little ahead on bills. Thanks to tax returns!
