So, I'm nearly 14 days in, and feeling pretty good. I can see a change in my body shape, mostly my belly.. Which is a great feeling, but I'm starting to grow bored of the meals I'm making. So, I've been researching the threads on 3fatchicks.com for variations and variety. Thus far, my results have been so so.. I made sliders with portabella mushrooms used as buns, those were FANTASTIC. I made seafood patties, but they weren't so hot.. They tasted yummy but there was nothing to hold them together and they seemed pretty wet before crisping them in OO.. I also gave zucchini chips a whirl.. I have no idea what I did wrong with those, but they were either too soggy or burnt to a crisp.. Needless to say I was more than disappointed as I'm craving something crunchy and this didn't cure that need as I'd hoped. I've read a lot of marvelous reviews on cauliflower popcorn, perhaps I'll give them a whirl.
No matter what, I know I can stick to this, even if I have to live with a boaring variety of meal choices.
Those sound like some crazy food choices! Lord knows I've battled my weight my entire life (with the exception of about 5 minutes in 8th grade, but I was fat again before I realized I was thin for those 5 minutes). I've lost 20 lbs in the last month, partly because of anxiety and depression, but also because I've started to think of the weight loss process as not about the weight at all.
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's about finding a balance. I'm very good at setting a strict regime (and then beating myself up at the slightest misstep). Lately what I've done instead is to just simply ask myself a question before I inhale a cookie or skip a workout.."What is the best thing for ME?"
Weight loss has always been about landing a man for me. I think until I can learn to love me (all of me) at whatever size I am, I will never be happy - with or without a love.
Good luck!
