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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
