Default Diet over-occupying my thoughts! :(

Since I'm on a diet, I find my mind occupied with what am I doing right,
what am I doing wrong? Should I try something? What are the chances it'll
fit my diet? Who makes no fat/cholesterol/salt breakfast, lunch and
dinner products?

I'm overthinking my diet almost to the point that I don't think much
about anything else.

Watching Food TV is torture. Shopping takes forever but I actually don't
mind.

Gotta settle more on veggies which amounts to a 180 from my jumbo burgs
and 6-egg/avocado/jack cheese omelettes.

Pain-in-the-ass I insist!

It hasn't invaded my dreams, yet.

I can do it! After 20 years I quit smoking cold turkey September 1, 2004,
10 am, and haven't had one since.

Just so thought-time consuming. I haven't even begun to exercise. Just
thinking about my diet is exhausting. Well maybe not really.

And I still have my cold and it's freezing outside and I'm just whining
some more.

Your diet needs to contain fat starch Cholesterol and salt that is what food
is made of. The question is how much of each, and how much of others do you
need.

There's nothing wrong in spending the time to find those foods that fit
your new diet. I think you'll find that as time goes on choosing the
right foods will become second nature and you won't be spending as much
time analyzing everything.

Hope the cold gets better soon.

I recall coming across a quotation attributed to Botvinnik that 'part
of playing chess is thinking what chess is.' Perhaps part of dieting is
thinking about dieting? I also spend more time thinking about food; but
that's better than the mindless eating I've done for the past 40 years.

That's normal. You're dealing with your health here, it's very important.
You're learning something new and it takes time.

I'm overthinking my diet almost to the point that I don't think much
about anything else.


For now that's not a bad thing. Again, your health is at stake and needs to
be a priority. Eventually the rest of your life will invade your thoughts
again.

I stopped watching Food TV at first. I also went so far as to not watch
anything on live tv, just tape and TIVO so I could blast through the
commercials Shopping is an art form. It's one of my hobbies ya know. I
read labels like crazy.

I can do it! After 20 years I quit smoking cold turkey September 1, 2004,
10 am, and haven't had one since.


There's the spirit!

And I still have my cold and it's freezing outside and I'm just whining
some more.


I'm with you there friend. 4 weeks and counting on this current
cold/respiratory infection. Soldier on.

New habits to a while to ingrain. Don't worry about it - It will
become gradually more automatic over time.

Pretty much the right forum for kvetching ...

I thought you said you were whining? Looks like bragging to me.

OH that? I have to lose weight, lower the LDL and rais the HDL cholesterol,
control sodium afecting my high B/P, then there's that exercise crap to
start. Who's bragging, me? It's all a pain-in-the-ass if you ask me.

Hmm, whenever I mention my weight loss at work I always get comments
such as "wish I could do that." Did you stop to think that losing 30
pounds puts you far ahead of most Americans? Andy, give yourself a pat
on the back for once!

I had to laugh when reading your post. I'm obsessively checking and
rechecking everything in DietPower. I figure it's a normal learning curve.
As I get to know foods and nutrients, I'm already worrying less about what
to eat. Watching TV is torture with all the food ads! In one hour, I
counted 7 food ads! yikes. You've already lost THIRTY pounds!? Awesome.
And WAY TO GO on the smoking - both are a humungous accomplishment. It's
freezing outside here too, but tomorrow I'm going on my first hike in five
years. I don't care how freakin cold it is, I'm out there. I might only
last 20 minutes, but it's better than nuttin. Keep up the all consuming,
it's working!
