Guest guest Posted August 16, 1999 Report Share Posted August 16, 1999 , I have 4 kids and I know what you mean about all the high carb stuff around the house. I have set up a seperate cabinet just for my stuff so I have no excuse to go into the pantry at all. I do have to shop for it but that isn't a problem for me. Hope this helps!!

Guest guest Posted August 16, 1999 Report Share Posted August 16, 1999 Penny..how old are your kids? I have a 6yo boy, , a 2 1/2yo girl, Kylie, and a 10 week old boy, Zachary. I havent had a chance to get to the store yet, but that separate cabinet is a good idea. I am going to wait until I get the book to go to the store and buy all the stuff i can eat. So I am going to have to make do until then. I think I can survive.. I can eat eggs and cheese and dry tuna for a few days.. yuck I know.. but it is a good source of protein.. and No carbs... I was a big rice junky too.. but of course that is out now... I am already up to 3-8oz glasses of water. so i am almost 1/2 way there for my goal of at least 64oz a day. I feel like I am drowning though. I was never a big water drinker.. but from what I have heard it is essential to drink tons of water, so I guess I have to. Are all diet pops okay too.. like Diet Coke..that is my favorite. I would die with no caffeine.. as I am still battling the no sleep demon named Zachary...lol... Thanks for all the help.. I am so new to any kind of diet thing.. i am not sure about anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 16, 1999 Report Share Posted August 16, 1999 Penny and , I know exactly what you mean. Lots of untouchables around my house too! My husband and I have combined a large family. Altogether we have 6 kids! Kinda like the brady bunch -- lol. Setting up you own shelf or cabinet sounds like a good idea. Any suggestions of what to fill it with? Ree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 1999 Report Share Posted August 16, 1999 Hi , I drink lots of water. I'm averaging 80 oz. a day! Sometimes a little more. I can't drink it from a glass, but when I put it in a sports bottle with a pop up top It just seems so easy! I also have been very strict with myself. I am not having anything else besides water. ok ok, I still have my coffee I confess. Try the bottle, see how it works! Ree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 17, 1999 Report Share Posted August 17, 1999 I just have some pork rines and my shake mix, not much, most of my stuff is in the fridge and I keep it on a certain shelf so I don't have to rummage through the whole fridge.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 1999 Report Share Posted August 17, 1999 Yes, I saw it and feel as though my little hand was slapped just as I was opening the loaf of bread! LOL! You're not too far from me. I live in Houston and have been here for 6 years. I was born in Laurel, Ms. then lived in Columbus until I was in my 20's. I cooked a turkey today and we had it for supper, though I kept wanting to say, " Pass the dressing. Pass the potatoes. Pass the bread. " Ha! I do love my bread! I had a Diet Dr. Pepper today, but it doesn't taste the same at all to me. I bought Pepsi One which is okay if it's really cold, but I think I remember that I like Diet Mountain Dew okay so will get some of that tomorrow. What's the scoop on peanuts? Aren't they moderate in carbs? , who really appreciates this list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 17, 1999 Report Share Posted August 17, 1999 I have a question!! What type of things do you have around for the times you have to run out the door?? I'm not a shake or bar kinda girl they always taste like kaka to me! LOL So what type of regular food do you have around for the quick times?? JULES>>>>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 1999 Report Share Posted August 17, 1999 I will admit I use the sports bottle a big 48 ozer and it really helps get the water in I drank 4 of them today alone. But if I use a glass I won't drink it! Why domn't you drink other things besides h2o and coffee? I'm just curious. JULES.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL So what type of regular food do you have around for the quick times?? JULES*** Jules, That's what I keep lunchmeat around for. I keep thin-sliced turkey breast, and baby swiss cheese, and when I'm in a hurry, I just do a turkey-cheese roll up. I usually have that for breakfast--eating it in the car on the way to school:) Also, I'll make a batch of deviled eggs once a week and I can grab a couple of those as I leave in the mornings. I've also been known to just go grab a big spoonful of Pimento Cheese Spread as a snack or to calm my hunger until dinnertime. However, the greatest thing I find about this WOE is that I really listen to my hunger signals. I don't eat until I'm hungry, and by golly, when I'm hungry, I eat. I don't care if I have dinner at 8:00p.m. and am hungry at 11:00p.m.--I go fix a snack. And I think that's one of the keys to the diet--you have to get away from the idea that hunger is good. Hunger is not good--hunger means your body is going to start storing fat. Anyway, I got off topic. LOL. I'll post any more quick-food ideas as they come to me. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted August 17, 1999 Report Share Posted August 17, 1999 I thought I was the only one that could drink water like that. The only way I drink water is in a sports bottle.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 1999 Report Share Posted August 17, 1999 Jules, I buy the cubed cheese and meat sticks. those help me get through. Cheese also, because it is high in protien, helps get the munchies to go away. Makes you not feel hungry Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
