Re: Last post on me as a topic

Cathina, as i've been away since Thursday this is the first time i've had a

change to read any posts at all from this list.

Now, i'm not on any sides or anything i just want to give some friendly

feedback! Your original post was vague. You have responded a few times going

in

further detail but as such details weren't originaly shared people have nothing

to go on but what they see.

I can understand having a tight budget! Believe me, i know, i'm in a very

similiar situation right now. I do a lot of my shopping at discount stores.

There are such stores as dollar general, aldi, save-a-lot, mor or less and shop

and save, that sell groceries at cheaper prices. You can make a money saving

switch from ground beef in your meals to ground turkey! Aldi sells 1 pound

rolls for just 49¢ each! It's great you are doing portion control and adding

vegies to stretch it. Thats the way to go.

Also if i need chips or something crunchy i munch on pork rinds! I don't eat

a whole bag but there are zero carbs in pork rinds, and bags are pretty cheap

at those stores.

<<as I resent being told not that there is a possibility, but it is

a near-certainty that if I have a half a candy bar a day I'm going to lose

limbs or worse by the time I'm 30>>

I honestly didn't see anyone say anything of the sort. Heck i eat sf jello,

pudding, freeze pops (found sf at wal-mart and screamed in delight), sf ice

cream and the occasional hershey miniature. I certainly don't think that candy

bar, or the small piece of cake i had yesturday) are going to kill me or cause

my legs to be sawed off. If anyone did say something to that effect then yes

that sounds very much like a negative outlook on life.

And you did say another very good thing. You acknowledge that you can't eat

huge amounts of these carb filled foods and that you need to eat smaller

portions and lose weight. And thats great. You are taking that first step.

And

no one can change immediately. You are taking the right road with gradual

positive changes and are doing something about your health. That doesn't sound

crazy to me, it sounds sane and logical.
