Dear Dear Donica ~
re: .
I have cut the BBQ sauce altogether (that was hard ). And the last time I made the chili over a lettuce bed I used very little fat free sour cream.
You are absolved of any previous infractions!
Remember the old adage, "If the shoe fits; wear it?"
My Medifast adage is,
"If it tastes good; don't eat it!"
Hah! Just Kidding!
While we are in the weight loss phase, this is Foodies'
Boot Camp. We keep you
structured up so the numbers go down.
Once we get to maintenance, we can use a little more of the fat free sour cream and the barbeque sauces -
within limits - to season and flavor our regular foods.
Currently we are learning to like (or trying to like!) the taste of food, love the feel of the energy and clear thinking that comes with eating nutritiously, know when and how much to eat, to keep our water intake up and our body re-hydrated (much of our hunger sensations really stems from being thirsty) and to
eat frequently.
I just got off the phone with a lady who weighs in excess of 350#, 5’ 3” tall, who eats once a day. She described her meal intake as that of "a five year old" – one bowl of soup. Her body has shut down because it needs better nutrition than what she gives it and it needs it more frequently.
You are doing so well, Donica. I’d say that you’ve got it!
You are in the Medigroove of eating the right things on time!
Yippy for YOU and your thinnin’ self!
