Was: HELP Now: Thanks Everyone Val

[Guest guest]

Val, I have never been on a diet one day in my life, I can't do it. The key is

moderation and knowing what you need to work on. By the way I have 2 vegan

friends and they are both extremely over weight so it's really just finding out

your weakness.

I have an incredible sweet tooth. I make a loaf of sweet bread and I slice it

in many slices and I wrap each one and freeze them. I eat a slice each day. I

drink a lot of water and sun tea. I love Coke but I never had a big Coke habit

so I will Mon thru Fri take a can to work and drink one 1/2 can with lunch and

throw the other half away. I have little room for failure with this pattern.

If I quit all sugar I will go off on a bunge and I can eat 2 lbs. of hard candy

in one sitting.

I will post my apricot sweet bread later, it makes one 8 1/2 in loaf and one 7

inch loaf and the whole recipe has 3 tablespoons of butter so I think a slice of

that a day is much better than a candy bar.

Everyone has different tastes. My nephew has a weakness for cheese grated all

over everything so he uses a sprinkle of parmesan instead and he's lost a lot

of weight, he's very thin now and has energy.

Sissy (sister) has to stay away from chocolate and rich Starbuck drinks with

cream and all those toppings.

Mya (niece) has to watch olive oil dressings, she will dip a whole loaf of

Italian bread in flavored olive oils and use rich dressings on her salads and

steamed vegetables so she measures everything out and places limits on the

amouth she eats.

Hope this hepls some and don't get down on yourself, it takes time to

rearrange your eating habits but you can do it. Love and accept yourself no

matter what size you are. If you ever tried as hard as I have to help an

anorexic you would see what I mean. I appreciate my big butt. (:- )

Thank you so much for the support and advice, it all helps. I have three things

that I have to deal with on a daily bases and trying to eat the right things is

hard but I am going to do it because I am just not happy. I suffer with

migraines, IBS, and I am hypoglycemic! I know what a combo right! I think that

it will help having this group to talk to about it when I get down about it. I

have received so much advice, that it makes me want to cry. So many people care

and we have never met face to face that is.

Val-if you cry then it's natures way of washing out your eyes. I have had

migraines since age 13 and severe colitis since age 15 and I've been an

insomniac all my life. Being a vegetarian has almost cured but it's never

actually completely cured since there is no cure, the colitis. Migraines are

75% better and I'm still an insomniac... (:- )
