What ya eating tonight?

[OleHippieGal 275]

I do appreciate the honest folks. and the folks that are not condeming. but i make my choices. I will succeed in my new tool that I have regardless what you think. And if you havent had the surgery you may need to make comments because you just dont know what you might do.

I dont drink cokes of any kind let me get that out there. no carbination at all not even sparkling waters because they also have carbination in it. i drink plain bottled Water. and every now and then i squirt a little crystal light in it. but not so much.

I eat scambled eggs. i eat turkey bacon, turkey jerkey. but not alot. still has cholestrol in it.

on the grilled KFC chicken breast, i peeled all skin off of it. and then pinch the meat off. i have never finished a chicken breast, . i slowly eat everything because with the episode of dumping I had, I hope to never have that pain again. it was horrible and thought i was dying from a heart attack.

I dont eat alot of dairy because of the sugars/carbs in them. I use myfitnesspal and log what i eat. that is how I know about my carb intake. and I cut down on the carbs, its a great app. i have only eaten 1000 calories in 1 day. most of my calories are between 700 and 900. thats not really bad.every day is a new day for all of us. I had to deal with the critics when I was 307 lbs. and the looks of disgust, but I have people who cheer me on because they see the difference in me now and see the weightloss i have achieved. and the ones who are bashing me. i just dont think you get it yet. funny how we dont see your choices on what you eat. arent you done with the hate. I know I am. good luck to you on your journey

Just as an FYI- 1000 calories is great. 1200 is even better. If you want your metabolism to keep working, u can't make your calories too low. Now, I say this after just having an 80 calorie yogurt and a few tablespoons of hummus the whole day, but one day I will be able to eat.

Also, my favorite "wings" are just the chicken drummettes from the grocery store with garlic salt and onion powder and baked in the oven.

I would advise avoiding fast food as much as possible and learning to prepare whole foods because the chemicals and preservatives can all kinds of health problems.

I agree with Dotie and several others. We're not here to judge, but to support and celebrate! There are so many people in the world waiting and watching for us to fail. We just do the best we can and when we slip up, we start over. It's actually pretty simple. If I had wanted everything I eat scrutinized and criticized I would go somewhere else. I joined this group to Celebrate and support. Isn't that why we're here.

You are so right about the preservatives and stuff in fast food as well as alot of products in stores.

My improvement is i dont go to taco bell anymore. I used to at least 2 or 3 times a week before surgery, and burger king mcdonalds, but i have no desire to go there. My head will say what about a taco, my stomach says ewww no. My stomach always wins. I even have stop eating alot of fruits because of sugar is to much. I just cant eat yogurt the texture is horrid to me now. And not sure what happen to the 99% fat free ones. I was eating the healthy choice frozen yogurt. It was good once but after surgery lost the taste. And yep i know you have to eat. If you dont eat you dont lose, so i do make myself eat. I am doing good to get the 900 calories in.

I like to season my Beans and greens with smoke Turkey. Never had the tail but I use the wings and legs all the time.
