Being a hybrid (half American & half English), I grew up on tea. I don't like my tea "fortnightish"*, either. I have a larger cup that I put in a Yorkshire bag, and either a Red Rose or Irish Breakfast bag in. I then let it steep for about 5 mins or so, then soy milk and 3 stevia packets. Call me crazy, then I let it sit…

After 48 plus years of "Just try them!" at Christmas dinners (traditional English-style, thanks to Mum!), I finally announced "I just don't like brussel sprouts!" Nope, just don't. I've tried them in different ways, but nope. And asparagus.....blech! Tastes, smells and feels like snot to me.

Slept a bunch between last night & this morning, feeling better! Logged my extremely poor food choices for yesterday - my plan for the day was not the universe's plan! - then took the "pudgy puppy"* out for his walk. Decided on the spur of the moment to turn that into a walk walk. 12/1 - logged, under cals 12/2 - logged,…

Thank you @jm216 , the sleep helped somewhat, but still feeling some after effects. I took another dose last night, which gives me insomnia, so I was up until 5, slept to about 9am. Once I get my wits about me, have plans to go to the store & get a pedi. Decided that I'm not going to "diet" per se, just get into the…

Of course, the evening of Nov 30, one of my headaches started. I suffer from clinical migraines, and, unfortunately, even with all my medication, they last for several days. Even today, I'm struggling with tiredness and head pain, but I had to come to class this morning and I'm sticking it out at my work. (knees also…

Hi there. Ok, I've left myself down. I started out here about 10 years ago and I lost almost 50 pounds, just tracked my food, reduced calories and started running. Found the weight came off rather easily. However, life changed, divorce, 2 moves (one cross country back home to WI), retirement from my job and now I'm a full…

@AnnPT77 I have been a friend of yours for a while here on MFP and you have been an inspiration to me so many times. I often look to your diary for guidance, one day I will actually put it into practice! I always seem to fall into the junk food side of eating and that's why I have gained a good portion of my weight back.…

I did give an intro back in 2014, so I thought I would clean it up & re-post it since members have changed so much! I'm Helen...and after struggling to define my eating, I'm a vegetarian. Guess it is something that is natural to me: the story is my father asked me once when I was very young if I thought my mum was a "good…

@AnnPT77 I just noticed that you have joined this group! I often turn to your diary as a source of guidance and inspiration for me. Welcome, and hopefully this page can start moving again!

Ok, well, reviving this thread: August 2021 I can get to the gym. Working out is not my issue. The FOOD however....that is my struggle! I struggled with my eating definition, would like to say "I'm vegan", but I'm accepting that I'm "Vegetarian". I like cheese. I eat cheese. And I can't feel guilty because of it. I've also…

I bounce in & out, but I admit, I'm not as active as I used to be. If more people post, then it will get active again!

What @AnnPT77 says. I often will plan a meal - or day - on a day into the future and the "move" the meals around as I need. For example, I have a meal in my "plan" for today I put in yesterday, but it looks like I won't get to it. Instead of deleting it (since I already went through the scan & plan process), I'll just move…

TBH, I've struggled with my definitions of how I eat. I would like to say "I'm vegan", but truth be told, I recently went back to defining myself as "Vegetarian". I try to eat as plant based as possible, but I do still eat cheese, with occasional eggs (recently started lifting weights, so need a higher protein, as I get…

Based on the Christmas pud as your profile picture, I assume you are British? Most Brits (my Mum being one of them - yes, I'm a hybrid!) are not familiar with, nor do they like root beer. She says it tastes it tastes too much like a childhood medicine she was made to take. However, being a Midwest girl, I love a good root…
