I am trying to see if there would be support for a new discussion thread for caregivers that are trying to diet. A place that they could immediately go to for emotional support when the will gets weak. So many of us seem to ruin our health as soon as mom/pop moves in. We forgo our own MD appts., forget to take our meds, never hear any words of encouragement,give up on our own appearance, simply cease to exist as an individual. I don't want to replace the "whine" thread, it is very important and I use it myself.Also it seems many of use due to our caregiving situation are prisoners in the house and can't go to weight watcher meetings, support groups, live in rural areas etc. This could be a place as close as your computer. I look at this site even late at night, I would love to be of help to someone that is trying to stay out of the refrigerator at 3 AM. Just thought I would throw this out there to see if there is any interest.
I know that after having my dessert (trifle), I felt great and not so deprived.
That was an improvement just not feeling deprived.
So...... I ate and moped and fretted my way through. All the while putting on my brave face and saying the right words as needed. And seeking my reassurance from starch and sugar. Exercise? Bwah! Too "busy" ruminating. Etc etc.
New leaf today. At the very least, determined to shut down the crazy eating. Back on the sensible plan. Our holiday potluck is Thursday.....I'll budget a splurge there.
Have a good week, everyone! Let's start strong and stay strong. :-)
Any room for recipes on here, do you think? I'm sure they won't let us post Pinterest links, but maybe we can share our Pinterest user names, so people can follow each other there, and share recipes that way? I have a ton of low-carb recipes on there.
Let us all eat healthy as a reward!
I'm still within the normal BMI range so I lie to myself and say it doesn't really matter if I put on a few pounds. Of course both my parents had heart trouble by the age of 60.
My husband was trying to tell me that refilling plastic water bottles was okay, -because (even though it is written on the bottles), there is already so many toxins since the water is transported through plastic. With his ability to rationalize, I told him to get back to me after his vitanins take effect.
So, here is my attempt at twisted rationale:
Since a small amount of chocolate satisfies, it is good for someone on a diet because it takes up the space that would be filled with more food and more calories if you had something else. lol.
Where is the best sale?
I am on a diet....
What did you eat?...
I ate eggs....
Scrambled?...
No, Cadbury.
Borrowed this.
Anyone trying vegetables only?
i think his formula is credible . you wont gain if you stay below your upper limit number . the bad part is , one fast food meal can go as high as 2 thousand calories so you f ' ed that particular day up . i dont eat fast food because of the economics . aint no dam hamburger worth an 8 dollar bill . they can cram it .
