So I have been doing well on the diet. I'm trying to implement his "eat for health" diet, vs. the "eat to live" diet. I would love to go all out, but I don't think that is practical for me. Not only is it an expensive diet, but it's hard to do it all by myself out here. But the eat for health diet seems like something I can keep up long term. I have a lot more control over my hunger. And when I gave up sweets for a couple months last year, it really taught me that I can resist that crap. I CAN have control over my appetite! So I am doing Much (MUCH! Like 90%) better than I was doing before the new year. However, last night I broke down and had some peanut butter delight. I happened to have some chocolate chips in the cupboard (leftover from Christmas), and I also had peanut butter. So the natural, Fullmer response was to melt it and eat it on a banana. I loved it while I ate it, but then after I felt guilty and sick. Bleh! Please don't coddle me. Scold me! Tell me I'm going to get fat if I keep doing that!
I need things that I can cook and then conveniently bring around with me on campus. If there's some type of Fuhrman (sp?) casserole, that would be awesome. Because it could be my lunch for like a week. Anyway, good job y'all. Hopefully when Tanner and Nina see me next I'll be like a size [insert size], smaller than I am right now. Keep on keeping on!
And thanks for all of the recipes. I'm going to try some new ones this week. Also, I stand by my black bean soup. I love it. I added some corn, and it makes it less monotonous to eat.
Peanut butter delight? When you could have had a delicious spinach salad? I mean, when I see a salad, my mouth waters, but when I see peanut butter and chocolate, I literally throw up in my mouth a little. haha Just kidding! It sounds amazing, but I know what you mean, when you cheat, afterwards you just feel like, 'Why did I do that?' And I LOVE the black bean soup. It is amazing. I don't even think it's monotonous, we have to keep ourselves down to eating it just once a week. I will watch for easier recipes and ones that don't have so many ingredients.

ReplyDeleteAlyson, I had to laugh when I read about the "peanut butter delight" I am ashamed to admit that I invented that but when I do it I skip the banana. I just put peanut butter, chocolate chips in a cup and melt it in the microwave, then enjoy and then get sick afterwards. Well so far, no peanut butter delight for me however. So far so good. I will take some time in the next couple of days to write a post about my experience on the diet. Three weeks tomorrow... So far so good, but I did slip a little this week...
