WLL - Fred - Aug 4th
ok.. Minami (sushi) this weekend... Kan Toke (thai)... the following
weekend.. man.. I'll be eating a lot of seafood mmmmmmmmmmm -- Will~ The problem with this world is stupidity, now I'm not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off everything and let the problem solve itself? "Fred" wrote in message ... WW permits that type of eating - anything goes. I guess I just have made a few decisions to not tempt myself too much. So, for instance, I no longer make pasta at home - there never was portion control and frankly, one cup is just not worth dealing with. I would rather have potatoes or kasha. I remember looking up Thai foods in the WW book. I was aghast - some dishes that I liked were 10 points for a cup. Then there was the 4 pts for one cup of rice. And then there was the 2nd or 3rd dish and who ate only one cup of any of those incredibly lucious foods!!! My old style probably would have resulted in a 50 point meal. ONE MEAL. Like I said, only a few times since starting WW. Maybe it is time again (G) On Fri, 06 Aug 2004 15:55:54 GMT, "Fleur de Lys" wrote: It is.. but once a month (or more once every two month actually) I give myself a meal that "doesn't count" and I eat whatever.. thai food.. or fries.. or whatever.. I never eat too much.. but it's generally high pts food.. ;o) Works for me.. |

WLL - Fred - Aug 4th
I know on the day or two after an undisciplined afternoon, I feel truly
famished. More so than I do if I eat a normal health amount consistently, like I was doing for those months that I maintained. Somehow I got into this "celebrating" mode, with the big day, followed by several days of low points. That seems to be when I wandered off, and now I feel a very strong urge to cut the points back enough to take that four or five pounds difference off quickly. That could be the entire problem. I ate judiciously today, when I felt famished I fed it with low points rather high protein choices (low fat cheese on celery, yogurt and fruit). I feel some better. I think I will try deliberately to take this off at a slower rate, and just Eliminate the "brownie" or "cake" days. -- Les "Fred" wrote in message news Obviously, there is some "infighting" going on. Why or what drives the food issues is very deep. Clearly, some of it is emotional but I still think that there is a hormonal component (genetic or otherwise) that also drives weight levels. Feeling to "attached" to the new _US_ would seem very powerful but yet there is something that makes keeping it, hard, very hard. I also did not get any feedback on a note I put here concerning the movie "Supersize Me." (where the subject ate McDonalds for a month and gained weight and lost health) There was a takeoff of it done by a reporter for the English Guardian (I think). But he interviewed the Supersize Me "star" who noted in the interview that he now gains weight much more easily than he did before blowing apart his metabolism by eating McDonalds for a solid month. He commented that all those "fat cells" now just waited to latch onto calories and pack themselves silly. True or false? Science will one day find out. But until then, we may be fighting a very hard battle - neverending - to keep the weight off. Not impossible but constant work. I can't wish you good luck. It takes more than luck - GOOD EFFORT. Keep WORKING..... On Fri, 06 Aug 2004 12:40:25 GMT, "Lesanne" wrote: Well after my little awakening to what was up with me, I did very well yesterday.

I am so grateful to you for setting the bar high this week so I can probably creep by on the bottom in the morning. . I can still wear my clothing too, but I took a look at the graph I keep of my weight? I was under 160 consistently from November until mid May, and pretty much over ever since. This is going to stop right now. I do not want to go back there. Here I am, first time in my life, with a body I really love. No Way I Am Giving It Back!! |

I got it now. Plenty of high quality points, lots of exercise, no big ole
sugar binge days. I am beginning to feel as if I am coming back to life. -- Les "Fred" wrote in message ... It is interesting that if we really give it some thought and critical analysis, we can find our own threads. I think that I've been allowing my heavy hiking pattern to allow me to over do the junk. "I can eat this!" And just keep on eating THIS. I can also probably look back and find that for the 1st 6 months or maybe even longer, I had not even discovered Miss Meringues. And then, even after, I was very disciplined in eating them - a half serving or at most a serving. Now, it is just shovel them in. The larger ones have been a particular problem. Let's see if we can take control........ On Sat, 07 Aug 2004 00:33:41 GMT, "Lesanne" wrote: I know on the day or two after an undisciplined afternoon, I feel truly famished.

Add me to that bounce list. What is going on? Is it something in the air ... or
stars? I can't believe each of us are going through the same thing at the same time! I really would like to see the scales say closer to 130, but like you I haven't seen that number for well over a month now - heck, might even be two months. I'm still hanging tightly below my goal - but not happy about it. Joyce On Thu, 05 Aug 2004 01:22:33 GMT, "Lesanne" wrote: Fred this is just freaky, you gotta cut it out. I also have to cut it out. I have been bouncing too, but keep seeing new highs in the bouncing, and have not seen 159 since the middle of July or so. Lets make a pact. What can we do here? -- Les "Fred" wrote in message .. . No hover this week. Merely DAMAGE! Current: 165 lbs GAIN: 2.2 I have not been exactly good. But I don't think I was that bad. But..... Actually, yesterday at home, it was 162.5 and today, I matched the official one above. Been bouncing. But this is the first WI over goal but still within their "roaming" cushion. Time for some real discipline. Fred 219.2/165.0/164.0 (Lifetime July 2003) Started WW: Oct 29, 2002 |

I haven't seen the movie but I've read some of the reviews and
listened to a couple of radio discussions on NPR about the film. I found a web page at Tech Central Station that labels the filmmaker a con and the movie a work of performance art. http://www.techcentralstation.com/supersizecon.html So I don't quite know what to make of the film or the filmmaker. One of the NPR broadcasts I heard http://www.npr.org/rundowns/segment.php?wfId=1917092 featured an interview with Chazz Weaver who set out to challenge Morgan Spurlock's experiment. Weaver lost 8 lbs by balancing his food intake with exercise. He also has a website at http://www.truthinfitness.org/ I know that's not your argument or your question below. I also know you don't dispute the importance or role of exercise. But for my own ongoing effort to find what works for me, finding the balance between self-control, self-discipline, and enjoyment of life's riches, is to realize that exercise is key to good health.
