Food as fuel...



Recommended Posts

I remember this really hot personal trainer I had.

He said I don’t enjoy food - food is fuel to me - and my body is my work - it is my billboard -

what does your billboard say...

in and out burger

taco bell

little caesars

burger king

etc etc etc...none of us needs ideas on how to eat like crap.

I know my large 350lb body screams junk food.

What do you want your new billboard to say?

My husband just reminded me about this trainer -

ok not this part...

he was unbelievably hot - think difficult to look at hot

this part:

he said it all the time - stop eating for enjoyment - eat once a week for enjoyment - allow one meal as a splurge - eat to fuel that body - eat lean Proteins and you will have a lifetime of success...his words are true - and when I’m on the loser bench I’m going to remind myself everyday - and right now while I prepare for the surgery - I’m going to remind myself everyday - eating for enjoyment for pain for fear for whatever is OVER - eating to fuel this amazing engine I have is my new motto.

My mom always says nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels. She stays pretty thin, but gains weight occasionally and can pull back the reins.

I also had tried a "not diet" called the naturally slim program. They had a lot of good ideas. They said that thin people enjoy food and heavy people do not. Watch a naturally skinny person eat and you will see they eat slowly and savor the food. Heavy people just shove the food in their mouth and barely chew it before they swallow. It will take a skinny person 20 minutes to eat the same thing it takes for a heavy person to eat in 7 minutes. It takes 20 minutes for the chemicals from your stomach to ghetto you brain, so the skinny person will get full and not eat the entire meal but a heavy person will eat the whole meal and want desert because the do not know they are full yet.

Hot mama! Instead of big mama ! That's a good point about not enjoying it and it being just fuel!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
