Survival Mode Put Us Back to Zero

A lot of you came here many moons ago when I left Sparkpeople.  I loved the community of that place and the support I got there.  It was at the height of us being on our game.  That motivation you have in the beginning when you're consistently rewarded with weight loss, smaller clothes, compliments to keep your motivation high and you somehow begin to step out of being invisible to the public to people smiling at you, opening doors or striking up conversation.  You start to feel human.  You don't have to worry about going to restaurants or 'fitting' somewhere.  You can go to a wedding and see those God awful thin folding chairs and while you still don't like them, you're not concerned.  Many of your worries that fit people never had to think of, have faded away.  We started for the long haul in our 30's and that's when we had the most success, losing 226 and 190 lbs respectively.  When we went on vacation, as long as we came back and got rig...

2/13/12- Food Journal

Well I was on my own for the day.  This is always the Mr's time of year for random just after the new year projects at work so he worked out this morning and is eating dinner at work.  His looked so good I decided to make it for myself.  Let's dig in shall we?

For breakfast I had a bowl of Special K Blueberry cereal and scrambled eggs (2 whites, 1 egg) with caramelized onions and parmesan cheese.  It held me a good long time!


For lunch I had my tuna fish lettuce wraps (2 tbsp Miracle Whip Light & scallions) with raw veggies and 1/2 tbsp of dip.  A golden delicious apple with apple dip, fruit salad (grapes, watermelon, cantaloupe and pineapple) and a Trader Joe's apple cereal bar.  Iced tea to drink, of course.  I told you, lunch is pretty standard.  :-)


Dinner was leftover beef roast tacos with enchilada sauce and a serving of sharp cheese with a side of brussels sprout and onions.  Iced tea in the background.


I'd show you my snack but that's coming tomorrow so I can't show you!  Tune in tomorrow for a decadent little treat that fits into well planned calories.

  3. Looks delicious! It's so interesting seeing what real people eat during their weight loss. And I love the fact that you eat real meals, and not e.g. Protein bars. I also like your photograps, thank you! :)

  4. Oh, I wondered how the Brussels sprouts experiment turned out. Guess you liked them, since they are still on the menu. I agree with the others, your meals look so appetizing!
