The trick is not start smoking - then you don't need to spend the rest of your life trying to stop.

No I haven't faltered once in giving up ice cream - and don't expect too - just wish I could find something else .

Ps... if it was a lower ultrasound you would not have been allowed to use the bathroom... your bladder has to be full to the point of bursting for those.

I had one of them in July...the ultrasound lady was an hour late and asked how I was when she finally got there...I told her!

Look what I got in the mail today...my son painted these for my b-day present! His watercolors are getting better all the time.

Awesome!

Just got a call. House is going on the foundation on Friday!! Same day as @N F C gets her place!

I swear, our lives are so parallel.

Yay!!

Peanut butter is a high fat food.... Just sayin... Keep that in mind when you eat it.
Read lables on everything get familiar with whats actually in what... dont have to go to the grocery store either you can get dietary lable infor on line for anything.

I am a life time member of weight watchers and learned lalble reading through them.

Watch Fats Carbs and sugars.... There are a couple of good siites that are free on line that can help you with it all.

Yummy carrots which are almost free on weight watchers.

Slice in chunks rotatign the carrot each time you slice it just a little bit. Makes em interesting and have a good surface for cooked yummy ness.

Cook in good olive oil or Fresh Butter just a talbespoon for flavor ....toss the butter and carrots in a frying pan and gettem started cooking... Sprinkle on Garlic salt and pepper and a bit of dried dill. Once you get the cooking started pour in some low sodium chicken broth. about half a cup and turn down the heat a bit and cover the pan.

Keep an eye on it... stirr occasionally. And by the time the carrots are soft enough to eat the liquid will be gone cook em a bit more to brown more...

Serve them as a side dish or as a main dish... I like em just like that with nothing else. You will think they have had sugar put in em.


You can cook Brussles Sprouts the same way... I split them in half after peeling off the outer leaves and cleaning. Once they carmelize then you can sprinkle a little parmesan Cheese over them.... OH yummo...


But serieously in order to gain the upper hand on control of your food... You have to learn to cook... Start simply then move on to something else.

deb Whos failure to do this has been my down fall. I am 63 years old and about 365. I can no longer stand for more than about thirty seconds... Kneeling is out of the question. I had to give up my horse because I could no longer care for her... Ripping my heart out in the process.... I am Terrified to get in the shower because i am afriad to fall in there. I CANNOT walk up and down steps...

I am looking at Gastric surgery in order to survive the next twenty years...

deb

5 of my siblings have done the gastric. It is short term. Only one of them has kept most of the weight off...she was 500 lbs. She has different issues due to surgery that they cannot figure out. Another sister isn’t absorbing nutrients like she should. A few years ago a couple of us girls had to bring her to the ER on Thanksgiving day due to extreme stomach pain. I hope if you choose to go that route you have good luck

Good morning, all.

I hope so, i get tired carting myself around! Trying to eat more fruits and veggies, plus eggs.

If it's white, it's your enemy - no sugar zone.

whatever you do, or choose not to - we are behind you 200% Perchie . Do I hear 300%?

I'll go 300 %

goodness, just what do you do to yourself

Pain lets him know that he is alive.

check into keto, i've been on it and losing

Went keto for about 3 months - lost too much weight - switched to low carb - maintaining still with reduced inflammation.

keep sticking to it, you can do it, it couldn't be worse than quitting smoking

Nothing has been more difficult for me than quitting nicotine addiction. If and when I receive a terminal diagnosis, I will go back to chewing tobacco in a heartbeat - or lack thereof
