I can't believe it has been a week. I think that i received some really great advice from you all. i have been morning the loss of my dear friend food. I used to look forward to meeting up with this friend many times a day and that excitement is gone. So I think I have been doing really well at creating new excitement for myself. Visiting out of town friends, walking, walking, walking. Picked up some extra hours at work. Feeling a lot more positive about the choices I've been making. Plus today I get to add cream soups. Picked up some 98% fat free broc and cheese. Holy cow is that going to be a treat. Probably won't be able to eat very much of it but I don't even care. I used to think that I had to eat a lot and feel really full to get the full enjoyment out of my food. I used to think that if you were going to eat ice cream, you should go all the way and eat it with chocolate and whipped cream. I used to think that if you were going to order prime rib at a restaurant that you better order the 24oz size or don't order it at all. Go big or go home! That was what I thought. I think I have changed. Or may be snapped :biggrin: hehehe. Just kidding. I think that my brain is rewiring and I am seeing that I was wrong. And there is a thing as too much. Go big or go home, I'm going home to have a protein drink :biggrin:
