Celeste,When you like something and you can't just have a portion does it just happen with carbs or is it with other foods as well?When I was in the hospital it was for a gallbladder operation and I was so full of gas I hurt anyway and they finally told me not to use a straw.So I still don't use one.
Sandy,I'm glad you enjoyed your w/o.I wish staying on track and not overeating would help my sleep.
Suze,I find when I eat slower I don't eat as much.It is mostly in the brain.
Connie,I know you don't have the time but there is a thread on this board that goes through the Beck Book review which is based on cognitive therapy and it teaches about eating at the table,not while you are standing and cooking or eating distracted like in front of the TV and the computer.I have learned to even have my snacks if I have them at the table and the only thing I have while sitting in my recliner is my hot tea in the mornings.It seems to make a difference for me anyway.You have been very busy and good for you on eating healthy at lunch.
The last job I had I only took 30 min for lunch so I could get off 30 min early and there was no way I could eat slow then.
According to the Curves scale this morning I have lost 2 3/4 lbs since right before Christmas.I gained some due to sodium and it feels good to get it back off.Those 30 oz tumblers of water will take care of that problem really fast.I'm also going to see my NP tomorrow afternoon about my knee and back.We went to WM today and bought a convection toaster oven.We haven't tried it out yet but I'm just glad to have an oven again.
Steph,I count all liquids except my 1 DDP a day.I count anything that is based with water,hot tea,ice tea plus my water.

LOUISE my bed is so low that I can't put anything under there. Nor can I vacuum. When I moved the dust bunnies were more like dust elephants.
STEPH I'm kind of the opposite. I have been getting in my water (6-8 cups), but I haven't tracked (but never intended to, to be honest).
Also, though I mostly drink water, I also count my morning coffee when I have it. So I count all liquids. Even WW let us do that eventually. There's no physical/physical reason it needs to be water.
And for me drinking liquids is about TRYING to establish a good habit.
BECKY it can happen w anything. Heck I don't even love green beans but rarely do I think "OK I'm so full, I can't eat another green bean." Whether it's stuff I LOVE or stuff I like or stuff I tolerate, I still feel like my stomach empties really soon so I'm not satisfied.
Now carbs...they also make me crazy like a crack whore looking to score. The more I have the more I NEED. I have a large appetite. I think I always have but my metabolism and exercise levels were a LOT bigger. And then as SUZE mentioned, w/ no sense of smell, the satisfaction I get from the taste of food doesn't exist. So it's the mouth feel and how full my tummy is.
GOOD luck w/ the NP tomorrow.
As for eating at the table. All my meals happen at the table, even if I am here by myself. But NONE of my snacks happen there. Either in bed, at the sink or rarely in front of the TV. I probably should make myself SIT for a snack.
OK so that's going to be my January goal. At least 6-8 glasses of liquid AND other than my bedtime snack w/ Petey, all eating will be done at the table.
I have my final appointment w/ my attorney over my will/trust, and a quick visit to the COmmunity center to sign up for a few things. Nothing else pressing.
I've had a headache all dang day. I think I'll hit the bed early tonight. Good night all.

I know I shouldn't eat in front of the tv, but DH and I eat while we watch the news. And I don't like eating in my dining room alone for breakfast/lunch. I'm trying to put reasonable portions on my plate and then not go back for seconds. Maybe someday I'll try eating at the table......yeah, right.
Im only counting my actual water. But only because I already drink tons of other fluids. So it's not about getting more fluids for me. It's about getting healthier fluids. (Less Diet Coke)
We are supposed to get 1-3 inches of snow Thursday. And temps won't get out of the 20s Thursday or Friday. Yuck.
OK, I need a sip of Diet Coke and then it's lights out!

Well, holidays are over, so it's back to knitting on Wednesday. I am going to take my needlepoint.
I just finished a good book. When breath becomes air. I downloaded from the library. It's the story of a young man and how he makes his decision to become a neurosurgeon and develops cancer. It's a good quick read.

BECKY yes I have ZERO sense of smell which makes picking up dog poop easy as pie. But ruins my sense of taste so I go for mouth feel. Crispy, crunchy, salty and creamy.
CONNIE it IS odd to sit at the table for a meal all by yourself. No conversation. No nothing. So I'm not sure how successful I'll be. I find when I DO sit all by myself, I either have to read or something, otherwise I shove that food down so I can finish it and be "excused" from the table. So on second thought, maybe sitting at the table all by myself w/ no TV or book is NOT a good idea. I'll have to rethink that.
SANDY it currently feels like 22 here at almost noon. This AM when I walked the dog it was a "feels like" of 20 so I guess we're WARMING UP! haha
LOUISE that sounds like kind of heavy reading.
Well I best do my hair and put on some make-up. I have my attorney final signature meeting. And I have that video "Meaningful moments" today so when I'm pushing up daisies and my loved ones view it i don't want them thinking "Sheeeesh she looks so disheveled."

It really wasn't that heavy.
I'm going to make some marinara sauce and use zucchini pasta.

Well, I've been wishing for one of those nights where I sleep 10-12 hours. Last night was it. I didn't get out of bed till after 12:30 this afternoon. Now I feel completely lethargic, even tho I have a million things I need to do. (And several I WANT to do.)
CELESTE- Yikes on the Meaningful Moments video. I can't imagine what I would say. Good luck with that.
OK, I think I'm going to start de-Christmasing the house. (A job I generally find pretty depressing).

Survived the first 2 days back to school....only 2 more to go. Short weeks are nice! Frigid here.... Maybe in the teens but the wind is brisk. I am so ready for summer.....anyone else ? Sandy....yay on getting your workout in! Louise....I am working on a hat for Cara's doll that will match the one I just finished for her. Cute & a quick project. Then I need to get back to the stockings....5 done, 3 to go. What needlepoint project are you doing? Last I recall you mentioning was a wine stopper.....? That sounded interesting! I have canvas & yarn.... Connie....yay on sleep and ugh on feeling like a slug. Hard to get the planets (energy & motivation) lined up sometimes. Becky....have you tried the oven yet? New menus coming up! Perfect for winter! Celeste..how did the video go?  We need to update our wills, power of attorney, etc. On this yrs to do list. Still not where I need to be with food choices....but getting better. No plan so that doesn't help matters. I'll get there.... need to to toss some laundry in & get dinner started....chicken something |

LOUISE, though I LOVE me some real plain old pasta, I'm really OK with the zucchini "pasta". I mean I LIKE spaghetti squash a lot just on it's own w/ a drizzle of EVOO and salt and pepper, but to me the "Zoodles" are more like pasta than spag. squash is. And whole wheat pasta? I'd rather eat the cardboard box. Even Bob is good w/ zucchini pasta and he's a pretty "plain" eater.
CONNIE I did have to go thru the list of questions and get rid of almost half of them. Anything that related to my childhood was too dark and depressing. I can't change it. Who cares anyway? So I made her skip those. So it was SHORT.
I realized my philosophy of life kind of boiled down to 3 things.
1) Don't sweat the small stuff. And in the grand scheme of things, 99% of stuff IS small stuff.
2) I have gone thru some crap stuff and made some crap decisions but I think that's necessary to make me who I am; Don't waste time on regrets (OK I wish i'd bought all the Berkshire Hathaway "A" stock I could have afforded since it's now over $245,000 PER SHARE!!! Who knew?) and remember, though you may fall flat on your ass, you must LEAP before you soar.
3) It's OK that what's important NOW isn't what was important to you 5 years ago. Our needs and wants and values are fluid... Even our purpose in life is changing. That doesn't make yesterday or today's dreams better or worse than tomorrow or today. Different is OK.
SO I guess the secret of life is to learn to be happy WHERE we are WHEN we are. And look forward to what will be.
THE END
