Hey Joy, I wanted to thank you for your post on some other thread about fixing your mind. I think I need to work on my tendency to eat too many servings of desserts and seeing that you were able to modify your eating behavior, I feel like maybe I can actually do it. Especially because I didn't used to have this problem until meeting DH, who is a member of the clean plate club.

Hey Joy, I wanted to thank you for your post on some other thread about fixing your mind. I think I need to work on my tendency to eat too many servings of desserts and seeing that you were able to modify your eating behavior, I feel like maybe I can actually do it. Especially because I didn't used to have this problem until meeting DH, who is a member of the clean plate club.
Ooops..sorry I missed this, I'm waaaay late to the party!:^: You are so welcome. It actually was due to necessity. I have a 12 yr old who loves all my favorite junk foods. I still have to be a mom and teach her how to bake cookies and brownies...and have pizza night on Fridays, etc. yunno...the fun mommy/daughter stuff!:p That is why I decided to approach this control of food issue HEAD ON! Kinda like a fear of heights. It really works. When you are fearful of something or think you "CAN'T" do something...I think it's a great idea to bury yourself in it..surround yourself with your worst enemy until to gain control. Accept no defeat...as in the famous words of Charlie Sheen..."defeat is NOT an option"!:lol:
I'm rootin' for ya'll here. I just don't post my food anymore, cuz hamburgers and dogs, icecream, and pie is not exactly encouraging to others. I've won the battle...I've earned the right to eat anything I want as I've conquered the ALL or NOTHING attitude and learned how to exercise moderation. I'm so in tuned with my body that one day of eating a dozen cookies will not destroy me.
Posting my food intake was a great idea for the past 9-10 months, but now it would serve nothing more than to make me think waaaay too much about food...and to be honest...I got it. After 9 months...I know what I gotta do and can feel when I've gone too far and it's time to scale back a bit on the pies, cookies and icecream!:cool:
That said...I will be forever weighing in weekly, so that I can keep check that my weight doesn't get out of control and if I need to make any further calorie adjustments or have difficulties maintaining in the future, you can all rest assured that I WILL be back logging every morsel. But until such time (prolly when menopause hits me in a few years), I want to enjoy my new found FREEDOM.
All the best ladies!:hug: I'll still be cheering you all on though!;) :cheer2: :carrot: :cheer2:

Allison, yeah, I've been tracking how filling the bars are and the Special K bar wasn't as good as the Atkins one. The Kashi TLC is even less filling though. Today I will try a SlimFast snack bar.
I've also been comparing how filling my breakfasts are. For the same number of calories, I have yet to find anything more filling than cereal + fruit + milk. Today I mixed up muesli, nf plain yogurt, fruit, and granola, and it was extremely filling, but I also realized it was 100 calories more than my cereal + milk breakfast. Although if having a bigger breakfast will help, maybe I should shift some calories down there.
Weekend catch-up:
In general I did okay, not great this weekend. Kept it under 1800 cals which is good, but didn't keep it down to 1400 at all.
Saturday:
B - nf greek yogurt, fruit, honey, granola
S - nectarine
L - @BBQ joint - pulled pork, one garlic roll, small side mac & cheese, small side coleslaw, sweet tea
S - green beans, grapes, one caramel wafer
D - leftover angel hair w/tomatoes & garlic
S - atkins bar
E - dog walk
Sunday:
B - banana smoothie, breakfast burrito w/egg whites, turkey sausage, yellow squash, tomatoes, chiles (did bike ride between the smoothie and the burrito)
L - leftover pasta sausage stuff + parmesan
S - Kashi TLC granola bar, melon
D - open face bison burger on ww toast w/fruit relish, 1.5 ears corn, wax beans
S - melon
E - 40 min bike ride, dog walk
Monday:

D - shrimp curry (cooking light) on rice
S - cantaloupe, ww toast w/butter
E - none

Jessica~I find that it's not the size of the breakfast but the protein contained in the breakfast that helps me the most. I've pretty much given up on cereal as the milk isn't sufficient enough in protein to keep me feeling full long enough. Oatmeal does a better job. Eggs seem to be the best. And I just discovered Morning Star Farms black bean burgers. I know they're meant for an actual burger replacement, but one minute in the microwave, top with a bit of salsa, and that keeps me full for a long time. They used to make a black bean, rice, and corn thing that was spicy and good and they discontinued it (much to my dismay--I could eat that every day!). Another good alternative is a whole wheat English muffin with Laughing Cow light cheese on it, but that sometimes doesn't "do" it for me, (ie, keeping me feeling full).
And I agree, some bars just don't stack up to others. I don't remember if I tried the Slim Fast bars or not. DH swears on the Atkins, but there are some of those (notably the ones covered in "chocolate") that I just don't like.
paperclippy
07-25-2011, 12:46 PM
Allison, it's funny because as far as I can tell the deciding factor in breakfast fullness for me is the amount of fiber. Over the past week I've tried greek yogurt and breakfast burritos (ww tortilla and egg whites, even once with turkey sausage too). All of those have much more protein than my typical cereal + milk. None of them were as filling for me. :shrug: But when I look at the fiber content, my breakfast cereal has way more fiber than a ww tortilla filled with eggs and veggies, because I always eat bran flakes. Oatmeal fills me up very well, but I don't like eating hot cereal for breakfast during the summer.
I think with some adjustment the breakfast I had today could do nicely. It's basically taking a breakfast cereal and fruit and putting on nonfat yogurt instead of milk. The yogurt has about 2 grams of protein more per cup than skim milk. This is regular yogurt, not greek yogurt. I find that I have to add sweeteners to plain greek yogurt since it seems tangier than plain regular yogurt. Today's breakfast was over on the calories, but this is how it stacked up:
Calories 453
Protein 19.8
Fat 4.8
Carb 82
Fiber 10
alinnell
07-25-2011, 01:25 PM
Jessica~the tang in plain Greek yogurt depends on the brand. I find Fage way too tart. Chobani is ok, but I like Trader Joe's best.
I used to fix this for my lunch some days:
1 small carton plain yogurt
1/2 banana, sliced
4-5 strawberries, cut up
granola--about 1/2 c on top
It was really, really good and filling (made me think I was eating dessert instead of a meal) but then I found the granola was high in fat and calories and I tried using lower fat granolas and they didn't taste as good. I haven't had this concoction for such a long time. I may just need to go buy the ingredients!
