SanDiegoUbermom-

When I feel that I can not eat ... I go on the shake thing till I can regroup. I agree with the others I put my portions in small containers EVEN for the week and just pull it out.

Just keep little packages of food around

angcal26, georgiagirl & jollygreen1955; Thank you all for responding.

Yes; planning ahead has always helped me in the past. Right now it’s just a little hard because I’m out of money & can’t do grocery shopping for just me…I can for the family, but not my stuff yet.

I’m digging through the freezer to see what meats I can cook up and have for later.

Chili sounds good too…georgiagirl what is your recipe for that?

I’ve see that I have some carrots, radishes, letuce too, just need to clean and cut up. There’s a salad right there.

Remember my cake and soda recipe; I’ll need to look through the pantry and see if I have cake mix. This way I’ll have my sweet tooth taken care of.

Today I’ve been good; walked so it earned me extra calories to work with.

1,392 (189 added for the walk, usual is 1200) and drank 8 glasses so far.

B/EAS Premium Protein/Choc w/2% milk = 270

L/Tuna Salad w/mayo, radish, sharp chdr chz, pinapple & lettuce = 300

s/Pineapple & 2 100 cal Snacks = 320 (who knew pineapple was so big in cal.)

D/Cheese burger; bun, American chz, thou drsng, pickles, onion, ketchup, A1 sauce, 93% lean/7% fat patty = 472

I really enjoyed the tuna salad w/a hint of pineapple

Dinner was great, at it slow because of the bun and it was great.

It was wonderful to eat and not snack all day.

Had 3 crystal lights today too – 30

Thank you again everyone for being there for me. I love this site!

I don't really have a recipe I go by. I usually just throw it together and it's usually different each time. I use black Beans instead of kidney beans most of the time. Lean ground beef, crushed tomatoes (because DH doesn't like chunks of tomatoes), onions, green bell peppers, a little cumin, chili powder, worcestershire sauce, etc. That's usually the basis of my chili. Sometimes I use the mexican tomatoes instead of crushed too. I found a pumpkin chili recipe here on LBT that was really good. Sorry I don't have an exact recipe for you.

Today:

B- LC slim fast

L- a stove top stuffing quick cup

S- instant cinnamon roll oatmeal

D- 1/2 bowl of chili from Beef-O-Brady's

Someone on this site sent me the Wendys chili clone..I use ground turkey instead of beef and do not add the hot peppers

should I post it here or will email to whomever wants it

I also use salsa added to my chili sometimes

Bought some salsa at costco not the one that makes mango...one that was with the coupon ....ugh.. gave it away.. we use salsa in this home..but this brand was foul... gave it to mil...she eats anything

[SanDiegoUbermom 1]

I'll take that recipe!! Plz send it to me.

[nawlinzlady 1]

yesterday

B-choc Protein Shake

S- 1 egg,2T egg whites (soft scrambled)

L-3oz tuna , 1 egg, some mayo (leftover frm yesterday)

S-peach yogurt

D-a couple bites of stew, i ate the mushrooms, the carrots, some slivers of potato and i chewed a couple bites of meat then spit it into my napkin. It was sooooo good

I have uses salsa before too. If I don't have any onions or peppers in the house, I sometimes mix some salsa in with the tomatoes. It's a quick and easy way to add some flavor and heat.

[georgia girl 35]

All this talk about chili made me crave it, so that's what I made for supper.

Today:

B- LC slim fast

L- 1/2 of a childs cheese enchilada and 1/4 c refried Beans

S- 1/4 c chili (had to make sure supper was going to be good, lol)
