I have been eating my lunch sometimes at a local health food store.
they use grain fed beef, free range chickens, organic fruits and veggies. I had 1 c. collard greens today in chicken stock, 1 c.steamed brocolli, 3 small halves of stuffed bell peppers with soy cheese and brown rice, 1 1/2 c.fresh fruit (mostly apples and pears) salad. Am very full. I over ate, but that is a problem of mine. I will have to eat a very light meal tonight! Breakfast was 1/2 c cottage cheese, 1/2 cup blue berries, 2 big straw berries and coffee with french vanilla creamer. a protein water drink 50...all of that is about 925 calories for the day. I am shooting for 1300 calories aday. Since food is a major factor in my life...I am obcessing over dieting....so please bear with me.thank you bizi

Beth,
That sounds great. It is 100% ok to obsess over your new plan. I went to my first Weight Watchers meeting since February. I think it is necessary to obsess about the diet. I completely understand that. M. |

Hi, Beth,
Here is what I ate Thursday: --2 cups blueberry soy yogurt --container of hummus mixed with can of green beans --large bowl of steamed broccoli topped with spag sauce from a jar Late night sandwich made out of the following: --2 smallish pieces of toasted millet bread --1.5 tablespoons of macadamia nut butter --1 tablespoon of raw honey I'm under points / calories for the day -- weight watchers discourages that. I'll eat more tomorrow. I'm working on adding veggies and fruits. Each week I will do a little more. M. (I'm still eating mostly soft foods.) Last edited by Mari; 06-19-2009 at 01:44 AM. Reason: added bit about soft foods |

Mari, good for you for being under points!
I have stayed around 1,300 for the day all week so am happy about that. Almost made a big no no with avacado one cup=386 calories that is a whole one, hubby would have split it but still I knew it was high but not that high! beth It has very good fats though! I am still eating a little chocolate bar at night. Last night I actually was able to have a bloody mary. no such luck tonight! I miss my blueberry beer!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I could increase activity. I can't really think of any food to cut out, except to keep dh from buying chips and nacho's.
We have a lot of fruit, I eat cereal for brunch. snack on fruits. Veggies with supper. But age, thyroid, heriditary, baby at age 41 and I was never skinny,. I was always about a 10, then a 12, went from a 14 and now 18 over night at 41 after Katie was born. I HATE IT! I want at least a size 14 back...Big boobs and bottom, legs heavier, I can't walk much the treadmill is there , but my back hurts so bad. Maybe a recumbdant bike again... No motivation either Tired, depressed, too much to do syndrome. di
