Wow!!!! Thank you!!/ and Carbohydrate Addicts Plan

[Guest guest]

Hi All: You know, sometimes I write a lengthy heartfelt post and

barely get a reply, but today, WOW!!! Thanks to all of you for your

words of support, encouragement, and some great ideas too!! For one

thing, I have said it before but I can say it again, I can re visit

knitting!!!! That would be a heck of a better hobby than eating!

Sue, You are right about making sure to eat enough at dinner. For

me that means especially enough protein. As for the croissant at the

end of the meal, I was incorporating something from the Heller's

book, " Carbohydrate Addicts Lifespan Program " . They propose that one

meal a day be a " reward meal " . Start with a big salad then 1/3

protein, 1/3 low carb veggies, 1/3 anything you want( everything to

be eaten at one sitting)!!!!

Of course, the rest of the day you eat basically protein ,low carb

veggies and a few fats. So, I'm following the reward meal part of

the program and not the rest!!!!! I'm a tricky one, looking for all

the ways to get all the food I want!!! No wonder my weight doesn't

go downward.

But I'm thinking positive today.

This AM breakfast was:

3 sausage links

Puffed Kashi cereal

berries

1% milk

splenda

coffee

1 sheet Whole wheat matzoh

B and B spread

1 metamucill wafer

A lot of food when I list it like that!

Not sure if I'll get in a twenty minute walk today so I'm not

committing to it.

Thanks again, friends for caring

PS: another mini success yesterday. bought a jar of really good

popyseed dressing , but when dinner came, I chose a Newman's Italian

instead remembering that the popyseed dressing most likely has sugar

( That's why I like it) and the sugar will probably add to carb

cravings later in the evening. I am aware and making some good

decisions!

Was it this list where I mentioned the Lion's yarn company and all their

free plus sized patterns on their web site?

I just checked the Newman's web site and see the regular Italian may not

have sugar but it does have corn syrup. It also has cheese and anchovies in

it. The " Lighten Up " version doesn't have either of those ingredients and

half the calories.

I've never bought Newman's products - not for $4 or more for a small bottle.

I've been making my own dressings from various vinegars and spices, and Ed's

new favorite is just a mix of rice wine vinegar and spicy mustard.

Sue: i'll double check it, but I think The Newman's Olive Oil and

Vinegar Dressing which is the one I use does not have sugar. " Regular "

salad dressing is one thing, I'm not ready YET to give up.
