Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 I just bought grapes at HEB, and they are so sweet. They are the big green ones. I know we can have chocolate if we want it, but since my sweet tooth can't stop at one piece of chocolate, grapes are a good choice. We found out in one of our programs at TOPS that you can eat the seeds of grapes. They have some kind of good stuff for you, but you have to bite into them before you swallow.

If I'm going to binge, give me chocolate candy anytime!!!

My mother argues that they are better than candy because they have vitamins and things you need - - well, I take a multi-vitamin every morning, and it has "0" calories, THANK YOU!! So I don't sell myself on the idea that they are good for you!! I don't eat cereal for breakfast because anything sweet (whether it is artificial sweetener or the real stuff) makes you crave more of something/anything sweet!

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 It seems like no matter what someone says they eat someone can find something bad about it and that's why I don't post my food chart. * * * * Oops - - - Knew I was going to step on somebody's toes!! Sorry - That's why I don't send my food chart either. I eat things I like and it may not be the best choice but it is what I eat. Some of the things y'all eat for breakfast, I would never eat. Peanut butter on toast for one!!! YUCK .... BUT we all have different likes and dislikes. I can accept that. I just don't need someone telling me I should be eating this or that instead of what I eat. Geogre....you go right ahead and eat those breakfast bars if that's what you want. They are handy to grab on the go. I do buy them but use them as a snack, almost like eating a candy bar. I prefer a bigger breakfast but maybe that's why your a KOPS and I'm not.

They serve as a snack after I have weighed in. Splenda doesn't have the same affect on me as all the other sweeteners and doesn't make me crave sweets. Peanut butter is another matter I have to be very careful how much of that I eat along with peanuts. Betty 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 I thought it was just me about the breakfast bars. I want to eat the whole box because it feels like I didn't get anything to eat. I don't buy the silly things. If I am going to binge, give me chocolate!!! Again one needs to read labels. When I buy them I read the labels on each brand and buy the least carbs. Betty 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 I didn't keep a food chart last week, so let's hope that I can remember what I had this past Monday. Since our TOPS meeting is on Tuesday mornings, I usually keep a food chart from Wed. through Tuesday morning. Monday - 8/15 1 scrambled egg 2 slices tomato 1 1/2 pcs dry wheat toast 2 sm. pcs crispy bacon a sm. amount of gravy over toast tea Tuesday - 8/16 1 pc. dry wheat toast w/peanut butter tea Wednesday - 8/17 same as Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Now , I don;t put my peanut butter on toast....I put it in my Oatmeal........NO don't even let me know what you think of that.............hahaah. but a dietitian told our group (one lady) that was diebetic and she was having trouble after water exercise with nearly passing out, she told her she needed protein and on the days she had oatmeal to put 1 TBS. peanut butter in it and she would not have that feeling...HEY I am not diabetic....BUT...I decided if it was good enough for her...should be good enough for me.
