I still can't have a Tub of icecream in the freezer or a block of chocolate in the fridge and I don't eat it every day but I still have it. Starting at the gym tomorrow wish me luck.Ann Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05241644988227763398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-68283114888048200672010-01-11T01:13:49.574-06:002010-01-11T01:13:49.574-06:00I think it's good and helpful to know that the...I think it's good and helpful to know that there are reasonable food choices that can be made at fast food places. Sure, the salt content is high, but as an occasional meal, I don't think it will do any harm. I personally love the chili and Wendy's. It's 190 calories, and it completely fills me up every time. Occasionally when I wind up there with friends or something, I just get this spicy, filling, 99 cent cup of chili and let them eat all the burgers and fries they want. I think it's good to have options wherever you go.Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03001351581959907938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-47282724736694336882010-01-10T21:55:59.807-06:002010-01-10T21:55:59.807-06:00Dude, this is exactly what I have done.
Trying to ...Dude, this is exactly what I have done.<br />Trying to be too 'perfect' or being too rule oriented has torpedoed every effort Ihave ever undertaken.<br />I do something very similar to what you do. The main difference is that I have cut out a ton of white flour and processed foods, even potatoes.<br />They trigger binging urges.<br />sO, I stay away from them.<br />I buy whole grain bread....I buy low fat, not no fat. I will eat two higher calorie days a month so that I enjoy the occasional potato chip, or piece of pizza..or a trip to a mexican restaurant.<br />If you are too strict with yourself, you wind up thinking that it's too hard and that you can't do it for the.rest.of.your.life.<br />When in reality...you don't have to.<br />You are doing great bud.

I agree that this is what made your journey a success, and in the future, will be what brings others to you for motivation! It just works.

My mother, bless her heart, managed to sabotage most of my dieting youth by allowing "cheats" to an even earlier version of the Atkins Diet. Her dieting life looks more like a faith healing experiment mostly relying on dieting theories from Woman's Day magazine (no offense to those who enjoy that periodical).<br /><br />Most recently, her carb counting, allowed her (in her mind) to successfully eat a cheeseburger and fries at Outback steakhouse. I don't get it and despite all my successes, she sticks to the melange of theories that allow for the most flexible plan for her.<br /><br />Oh well...we can only do so much for the ones we love.<br /><br />Kyle<br /><a href="http://kgershman.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Getting Better and Better</a>Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00235073044536622230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-28614901507980778412010-01-10T17:41:42.679-06:002010-01-10T17:41:42.679-06:00So... any pictures of you up on stage singing? :)So... any pictures of you up on stage singing? :)The Merryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09660495393832517684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-5786314837342783282010-01-10T17:39:07.076-06:002010-01-10T17:39:07.076-06:00Hey, I'm sore too--isn't it great?!!!

The form those calories take is actually irrelevant for weight loss. Of course making healthy food choices benefits your body in other ways, but that is another matter!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-12876422602330495882010-01-10T14:03:27.193-06:002010-01-10T14:03:27.193-06:00So glad you're enjoying the time with your mom...So glad you're enjoying the time with your mom!
