do you believe in signs?
 

I was in the kitchen getting Grif a snack. I thought, yes...a snack would be good. I have not had a morning snack all week. I am not snacking anymore except for my 2:30 planned snack. No after dinner treats, nothing. It must be eatten at meal time. So, I grab a ff sugar free yogart, sprinkle a teaspoon of grapenuts on top, grab a water and head upstairs. I trip on the stairs and my yogart goes everywhere! All over the wall, the carpeted stairs, my socks. I got 3 bites of my "snack". Guess someone didn't want me to have a snack! It was a sign. Off to purge my magazine collection. :) My to do for the day. :)

:lol: Flower, that surely was a sign of disapproval from the goddesses of weight loss! Although your "snack" seemed healthy enough :chin:

Signs... oooooh, yeah... that happens to me A LOT!! Like eating a bowl of chips and finding a hair in the bowl and having to throw the whole thing out. gag.

Or eating a piece of meat and having my husband start mooing. Another cause for me to start gagging.

Or eating an egg and finding something weird in it.

Or burning an entire batch of chocolate chip cookies.
:yes:
If there were more signs like those, I'd be a bone rack.

Thanks Ellis, now I don't want to eat for the rest of the day!

flower, your sign was hysterical! Maybe it was a sign to start some ballet classes. :)

Dearest Goddess Jessica-now that isn't funny!!! You have no clue how ungraceful I am! :) I would seriously hurt myself in ballet. The funniest part of it, is that I can not wear slippers on the stairs cause I trip. So I have a pair on the top of the stairs and another pair on the bottom of the stairs. And I was just wearing socks! I thought I was just clumbsy cause of my weight but I think I will be clumbsy no matter what my weight should be! :)

flower-liked your sign story! i've had some signs myself not to eat something. i once dropped a pizza on the rug-yes, a whole pizza! of course, no one else could have any of it either (LOL!), but it certainly saved me from eating an unplanned snack. it was good to be reminded of those signs. take care.

One thing I NEVER do is order any type of takeout if I'm going to eat alone. I'm most well behaved when there are witnesses nearby :) However, I recently had a craving for pizza from this incredible pizzaria that lasted for a week, but knew no one would share something so sinful with me. So I did it. I ordered the pizza. I went to pick it up, it was late at night and raining. I went back out to my car, and it wouldn't start! I tried for 20 minutes and the damned car just would not start. All I could think about was how I was going to call someone and explain why I was where I was. I ate one slice of the pizza in the car, and took the rest and put it in the garbage can. I then returned to my car and it started right up. Maybe I do believe in signs :)

heh heh heh

Signs are everywhere.

Yah...
 

Hey, I've got about 50 flabby signs plastered all over my hips, thighs, butt, tummy, breasts... signs that I don't need to eat THAT and that I need to lose 50 pounds.:lol:

Yup ~ I can relate to this thread!

:dizzy:

LOL, I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees signs like this... about a week ago I had the worst craving for garden-herb flavored Triscuits - not a bad snack, but I normally eat the entire box when I get them, lol. I fought it off for a few hours & finally I gave in & drove to the grocery store - and guess what? They were OUT of garden-herb Triscuits! I laughed outloud standing there, I'm sure the people around me thought I was nuts, but I took it as a sign that I shouldn't buy those evil things - and my craving went away right then & there!

Lunula...those triskits are some major problem makers....I can never stop at a serving. They aren't allowed in this house!

Oooohhhh... I love triscuits. I always have the low fat version handy as they make great snacks or meals with a little cheese or pb and jelly or just plain. Yum.

Triscuits...oh yum! I love them. I can easily eat a whole box, so I cannot have them around. Or Wheat Thins, or swiss cheese crackers.

I had a sign like that a few weeks ago (which I think I mentioned already but I am gonna say it again!) when the packet of Cadbury mini eggs I had been saving all for me me me had all this waxy gunk all over the mini eggs and I couldn't eat them after all.

Really. You all like Triscuits, huh? :chin: That's totally disgusting. That's like eating a piece of corrugated cardboard.

But it is cardboard with salt! I love them! I don't care for the lower fat ones, they taste stale to me. But the origional..yum yum!

I don't eat the low fat ones, but I still like the stale ones!

Yep triscuits rock..... But so does just about every other snack food that is just a tad bit salty or sweet which ever, when ever....

Ellis you would actually dump a bowl of chips just because it had a hair in it? Obviously you meant someone elses hair right... ::rolleyes:




Yes I believe in signs but I alway believe in ignoring them :)


Amy

The other day, I was looking for the blueberry bagels that my boyfriend bought at the farmer's market (Bagels are bad in my diet world). I looked and I looked. I asked my boyfriend about a million times where he put them. I even cleaned out the fridge looking for them! Weirdest thing, they never showed up... I still can't find them. Near as I can guess, the dogs ate them and hide the bag as evidence.

Not just regular Triscuits (or the low fat ones)... it has to be the garden herb flavor. MMmmmmMMmmm

And I suppose you also all like those bales of horse hay, huh? What are they called... Shredded Wheat.

Amy, I'll eat bridge mixture out of the garbage (the ones I don't like from the night before :D ), but I won't eat anything with a hair in it. And yes, it's usually one of my long ones. YUCK!!

Ellis-I love the frosted shredded wheat. But you can have the unfrosted side! You are kidding about bridge mix in the trash -right? I would never get to eat if I tossed EVERYTHING with one of my hairs in it.

Yeah Flower that was where I was going with that... If I am cooking for company I have to make sure I have my hair up in a pony tail, braided or in a clip simply because if it is down something will end up with hair in it......

Ellis-Try the Triscuits with Marmite, maybe you'll like 'em THAT way!!!

Hey!! Dinner isn't ready here until it has cat hair in it!!!

I love frosted mini wheats too! But they are 150 cals per cup and to me about 3 cups is a serving, so I can't have em around. Yum yum.

I love bagels too Jessica - especially ones with blueberries or cinnamon raisin ones. The ones with chocolate chips are good too. And plain ones toasted with butter, or with melted cheese on them. I miss all that! Now it's strictly fat free cream cheese or a little jam on a HALF a bagel, sometimes.

I have to freeze the bread and bagels otherwise I tell myself I MUST eat many as a public service (Ha ha) before they go stale. And virtuously proceed to eat four a day until they are gone. I KNOW the tricks I can get up to!
