My Thai food was very good. And it was healthy. Plenty of fresh vegetables. I think I will order more often. Another thing I discovered recently was a vegetarian bowl from a Mexican restaurant. That is healthy and tastes great. Maybe I will try to cook less and order more food. I did have plans to cook today, but I was too tired. I would be happy to never cook again. My Thai food is enough for 3 or 4 meals. I know I will do well just eating vegan.

Christmas day and I DID NOT stuff my face,I avoided overeating and did not have the usual chocolates,cakes,ice creme,desserts and a myraid of sugar laden treats I usually have at christmas,I ate my three meals and a bit of fruit,good for my sugar levels and weight control.I am happy with the control and exercised good judgement.I wanted a mince pie all day I did not have one I had a slice of buttered toast instead and that stopped me wanting the mince pie.I am also abstaining from alcohol and fruit juices and being strictly off of the sugar.For christmas I am doing quite well.Well done me!

My kitchen is clean, which it NEVER is, so i am making a dinner chicken soup - whole wheat penne, some canned chicken breast, some fresh cauliflower, and a couple of different chicken buillons.
The chicken soup was always my favorite part of holiday dinners, cuz my mother never let me eat breakfast. So i would be starving by 2 or 3! For lunch i had 2 small russet potatoes with 3 bean salad. Soup is okay - also, first time i am using my new heavyweight stainless silverware - it is great! |

And i washed the dishes AFTER dinner. Who IS this person??! It feels really good.
My aunt (my mother's sister, the last of the 5 siblings) called me today. She is 24 days past a covid diagnosis. She has this thing since my mom passed where she likes to say i love you as she hangs up the phone. I used to go along, but you know what? Im not one of her son's ten American kids and partners and further offspring and stepchildren. I'm her sister's daughter, and... We. Never. Said. That. And that's why I was able to be myself and take care of myself today. |

Last night I had about 4oz of turkey and a scoop of mashed potato’s and a scoop of vegetables. On a small plate so it looked like a lot of food. Today I’ve had an English muffin, a small iced coffee a Diet Coke with cherry vanilla flavoring, and an Atkins shake. For dinner I plan on having 4oz of pork roast, another scoop of potatoes, and some Brussel sprouts. I’m going to have another English muffin whenever I’m in the mood. I have down 1,175 calories but I think it’s a little bit more which is why I’m low.

I had a legit dinner last night. 8oz of pork roast, mashed potato’s, and a dinner roll. So I was at 1,630 yesterday. Not a big deal. I probably needed to actually eat. Today I had a little bag of Doritos so far and a Mountain Dew. For lunch I’m going to have a little cup of Jif to go crunchy peanut butter, an English muffin, and an Atkins shake. For a snack I’m going to have a little bag of Skinny Pop Popcorn, and dinner will be 3 eggs done in the microwave. After 2 nights of meat, I just can’t do meat for a few days.

I gained a little bit of weight. But I'm back on track again with my eating. I threw away the stuff I didn't need to eat. So now I'm sticking with vegetables, grains and beans. I had black-eye peas, brown rice and vegetables this morning. I also had a bowl of oatmeal when I first woke up. I might try to cook vegan spaghetti today.

I am failing at eating today. I had my chips and Mountain Dew. Then I had a little cup of peanut butter and an Atkins shake. But I can’t even force myself to finish a little bag of popcorn. I will get into trouble with my team if I don’t eat but sometimes I physically can’t.
Nothing sounds good right now. Not even lobster which most people would jump at the chance to eat. I don’t know what to do. It has never been this easy to lose weight before. __________________ Ridin' with Biden Last edited by Mountaindewed; Dec 27, 2020 at 04:54 PM.. |

This morning I had a bowl of Cheerios. That was my stress eating, so it wasn't bad. I don't have any more junk food in my home. So that is helping. I'm hoping to drop some weight soon. My legs are hurting me. It's the added weight from Christmas. I really have to be careful when I shop for groceries. I just can't buy things like cheesecake and dinner rolls. No matter what. Food is the worst thing to use to make myself feel better.

I loooove my topamax. Its the only thing that ever made me feel normal, in a lot of different ways, for a lot of different reasons. One of which was, i had a mild undiagnosed case of epilepsy, which it stopped. Its been a journey for sure!

I've lost the weight I gained over the holidays. I feel good about that. I'm trying to be careful now. I don't really celebrate new year's. I might have beans and rice for lunch. I don't want to buy anything special. I'll be glad when the holidays are over.

I was on topamax for a couple years. My Pdoc made me go off it in October and strangely my appetite went down and I started losing weight once I went off it. It does eventually stop working and becomes kinda useless. Can actually increase hunger after awhile and a lot of people gain the weight back. Not sure why I’m losing and not gaining. I think my Xanax makes me not hungry. Or I’m just doing it correctly without meds.
Today I got an iced coffee and a small seasoned potato’s from Wendy’s. I had a cherry coke during group. Then I had an Atkins shake for lunch. I had a serving of green onion Cheetos at 3. Then I plan on having 3 scrambled eggs for dinner. I got some individually wrapped chocolate today. I don’t usually eat chocolate but I’ve been working in a 200 something calorie candy bar into my diet every now and then. __________________ Ridin' with Biden Last edited by Mountaindewed; Dec 29, 2020 at 07:28 PM.. |

I'm so glad to read that. I have been reading about tons of horror stories with the medication and was getting scared. But I guess everyone's different. And the people who have issues with it are more likely to post their experiences online than people with positive experiences.
