Lean On My Shoulder / Re: Here's what I ate today, how did I do?
« on: January 23, 2013, 02:05:34 AM »
Thank you TooSweet and Morgan for the birthday wishes!!!  I will go to the links you send me for sure and read them.  I've never been part of a forum and never knew how.  Now I look forward to writing and reading here every day, it's the greatest help and support I could imagine, thank you Doug.  You and Sherri are great...you all are. I am so grateful to be part of this new family in my life.  I won't go on the scale or take measurements.  I have a bad eating disorder and I get obsessed, so I'm better off (believe me) not doing it that way.  I have to be utterly and horribly blunt here (I read a posting about constipation on here and Umpa said to say anything, so I am about to!!!)...when I can't reach myself to wipe in the bathroom, I KNOW from past experience what my weight has ballooned to.  I know how my clothes will fit and how I will feel when the weight's coming off.  I know it's not coming off, but I will NOT give up eating this way.  No chance.  Doug, when you told me to get a grip of myself, you were right.  I'm a very worried, scared person.  I know I will die if I don't take this weight off and keep killing myself with food and being so sedentary.  I write this at 11pm and I'm hungry.  I wish I could eat something, I barely at anything today as I wasn't hungry.  But I don't want the reflux...I may just have a very, very low carb whey drink, about 2 carbs in the whole thing.  Unsweetened almond milk's a great tool  I have to say that eating nuts scares me, I have to still figure things out and navigate through all of this, but Sherri, you're right, keep it very simple.  Thank you all for being there.  Your grateful friend, Marian

Thanks TooSweet.  I will cut out all fruit for now, although all fruit and veg have extreme healthful properties that I feel my body will miss (health-wise).  That's ok, I can cut out all of that for now.  I think eating this way is a new found joy.  It's great, I can even have sweet things if I'm having stevia.  And I'm not hungry.  Only problem is i'm not losing weight   ???  I don't know why.

Thank you Mark.  Yes, I do know that xylitol will kill my little doggies whom I love dearly.  You would think they would put warnings on the Spry gum and other xylitol things about this!  I hate that.  As for nuts, I really like walnuts, almonds and my very favorite are pistachios, BUT I'm afraid to even eat them, although they are very healthy, as I don't know if I could stop (trigger food).  Although, I'm not even hungry (just have a raging sweet tooth), so I could prob. handle nuts right now (doesn't that sound kinky?!!  LOL)...so, for travel, I should bring some with me.  Thanks again.  I'm eating VERY low carb, but still in my 2 week period.  Not seeing or feeling weight loss though sadly.

I found Land O Lakes whipped cream at Costco made with heavy cream, has no carbs or sugar...BUT sugar is the 2nd ingredient.  Is this even ok to eat?
Also, I use barely even 6 carbs all day and at night I want to use the rest of my carbs as a treat.  I would like to have a Medifast cappuccino or hot cocoa, they have 9 net carbs for one packet, with fructose as the first ingredient.  Is it ok to use my carbs this way being that it still makes for less than 20g per day?

Wow, thank you!  I am so not hungry I barely want to eat!  That's unique, but it's also due to having daily decaf...after drinking coffee for a while, I get very ill from it and have to lay off for a week or so...I love decaf, so that sucks!  :P  TooSweet, I never have lows at all, I will have to check though to make sure.  I honestly have never had a low.  Probably too much belly fat or something.  Hey, you guys can see me on YouTube doing a little standup under Marian Weissman comedy...just google that.  Singing and playing piano is my main thing all my life though.  Headed to Vegas on Monday which is my birthday!  It will be easy to eat low carb there...or anywhere for that matter.  I think eating low carb is the easiest thing to do when eating out.  What do you all think?  Tell me about your travel experiences and how you've done it while away from home, I want to hear your stories about that.  Even today, I wasn't home most of the day and just didn't eat.  I didn't even know what to eat, really.  I didn't bring anything with me.  Could have stopped at a store and bought lunch meat and some cheese I suppose.  Or could have taken some nuts with me.  Just wasn't hungry though.  Is an apple with some cheese too carby to eat for a snack or mini meal?  How about some berries?

Ok, thank you!  I am truly not hungry today.  One reason is when I drink decaf coffee every day, which I tend to do, after a week or so, my gut gets ill from it!  I lose my appetite, but not in a good way.  Too bad, I have to keep cutting out coffee for a while.  Today I barely ate, BUT wasn't hungry so DID NOT eat!!!  I love that, that feels good to feel like you don't have to eat if you're not hungry instead of thinking you're doing something wrong!

Ok, folks, please tell me how I'm doing again today.  not even hungry today, miracle,  I posted what I ate yesterday under the Lean on Me subject.
At 11am I had my whey shake, had gut issues a bit...wasn't too hungry until now about 5pm or so.  So, now I'm eating ceasar salad with Costco rotisserie chicken, skin and all mixed up with Frank's hot sauce and blue cheese heated up in the pan and thrown on top of my salad Smiley)  I may or may not eat anything else tonight if I do, it will be another whey shake although it's bitterly cold outside to have an icy shake! I found these "Flackers" crackers today and bought some (so expensive for so little), they are 1 carb for SIX of them...1 net carb that is.  I ate about 4 of them for a snack today with a slice of meunster cheese.  Is there a cheaper brand of these?  Anyway, thank you all very much
Marian

Thank you all so much.  I woke up today and I'm not hungry, in fact I feel lousy (in my gut too).  Must be due to detox?  I don't know.  Not going to eat with my gut this way.  I'll wait a while.  It's late in the day too, it's 11am.

Here's what happened, Doug...I looked back on my records and the here's the reason you see no record of my buying your book...I was reading "Living Low Carb" by Johnny Bowden, whom I like a lot.  He gave your book five stars and the way he described it and its simplicity I knew it was the book for me.  I went to eBay and found it there.  I bought it right away.  It obviously was sold to me by someone else, not you.  I have the original, hard-copy book with the yellow cover, copyright 2008.

Yes, I have the original book, I don't have the bakery book at all, but I'm interested in it if it has sweets I can have gluten free and stevia. All I have read is the original book so far.

Do nuts or seeds play a role in a low carb diet?  Also, I chew a lot of Spry (xylitol) gum all day, is this ok?
