Finding Peace With Food

raspberry noosa Finding Peace With Food

The day started very very early (so early, it was dark) with my last serving of raspberry noosa and a few almond slivers on top.

pizza Finding Peace With Food

For first lunch I had a bowl of vegetable soup (photo on yesterday’s post) and then a couple of hours later I shared some thin crust pizza with Josh.

tomato soup and grilled cheese Finding Peace With Food

For dinner I made a big batch of tomato soup with sour cream and grilled cheese paninis. I was out of regular broth so I had to use a pho starter broth which gave the soup a more citrusy sort of taste. It was really good and so easy to make! Just two large cans of diced tomatoes, 1 onlion + 7 cloves of garlic sauteed in olive oil, 4 Cups of broth, salt to taste and then about 1/4 c. sour cream. I used my immersion blender to make it smooth and creamy.

Yesterday was a food-heavy (dairy heavy!) day for me, but it wasn’t out of control. I’m finding a nice place where I’m never really full or really hungry and this prevents 95% of my urges to overeat or binge. I’m also eating frequent, smaller meals, throughout the day, which is something I never thought would work for me, but it is.  I’m learning to get over my food fears and stop worrying so much. And everyday I remind myself that being consistent will get me there and to trust the process. I’m trusting that I don’t have to starve myself, or eat foods that I don’t like to lose weight. I just need a lot less of it.

I did a lot of strength and resistance-band work yesterday and followed with some much needed deep cleaning. I’m in the process of totally cleaning the house inside and out and it’s turning into a nice workout.

Another 25 tips for a Healthy Lifestyle


Renee has done it again. She promises on Saturday to let us know where she got these top 100 tips:

  1. Have a V8 or tomato juice instead of a Diet Coke at 3 pm.

  2. Doctor your veggies to make them delicious: Dribble maple syrup over carrots, and sprinkle chopped nuts on green beans.

  3. Mix three different cans of beans and some diet Italian dressing. Eat this three-bean salad all week.

  4. Don’t forget that vegetable soup counts as a vegetable.

  5. Rediscover the sweet potato.

  6. Use prebagged baby spinach everywhere: as “lettuce” in sandwiches, heated in soups, wilted in hot pasta, and added to salads.

  7. Spend the extra few dollars to buy vegetables that are already washed and cut up.

  8. Really hate veggies? Relax. If you love fruits, eat plenty of them; they are just as healthy (especially colorful ones such as oranges, mangoes, and melons).

  9. Keep seven bags of your favorite frozen vegetables on hand. Mix any combination, microwave, and top with your favorite low-fat dressing. Enjoy 3 to 4 cups a day. Makes a great quick dinner.

  10. The best portion of high-calorie foods is the smallest one. The best portion of vegetables is the largest one. Period.

  11. I’ll ride the wave. My cravings will disappear after 10 minutes if I turn my attention elsewhere.

  12. I want to be around to see my grandchildren, so I can forgo a cookie now.

  13. I am a work in progress.

  14. It’s more stressful to continue being fat than to stop overeating.

  15. Skipping meals. Many healthy eaters “diet by day and binge by night.”

  16. Don’t “graze” yourself fat. You can easily munch 600 calories of pretzels or cereal without realizing it.

  17. Eating pasta like crazy. A serving of pasta is 1 cup, but some people routinely eat 4 cups.

  18. Eating supersize bagels of 400 to 500 calories for snacks.

  19. Ignoring “Serving Size” on the Nutrition Facts panel.

  20. Snacking on bowls of nuts. Nuts are healthy but dense with calories. Put those bowls away, and use nuts as a garnish instead of a snack.

  21. Thinking all energy bars and fruit smoothies are low-cal.

  22. A smoothie made with fat-free milk, frozen fruit, and wheat germ.

  23. The smallest fast-food burger (with mustard and ketchup, not mayo) and a no-cal beverage. Then at home, have an apple or baby carrots.

  24. A peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bread with a glass of 1 percent milk and an apple.

  25. Precooked chicken strips and microwaved frozen broccoli topped with Parmesan cheese.

After 3 days, you can run your generator to power again and get a new plan. The good thing about this diet is that you can choose foods you like and you can change the diet around when you re-do it.

The Fruit Day

Fruit day The plan can be hard when you eat fruit all day with just a sandwich. The next day, however, everything tastes really great!

The Daily Vegetable

Loads of drinking water

The fact is that when you're not used to drinking water, it takes a while to get used to it. The truth is whatever time you spend in the bathroom is a result of your work metabolism. Once you drink water regularly you'll want fewer sugary drinks and find that your body and frequent bathroom break gets quite regulated.

Contents?

Overall, the vast majority of stories on this system are positive. Although the diet requires some discipline and sacrifice, it can be very effective.
