Makes sense. Weight control, like every other worthwhile goal in
life, requires discipline, dedication, and right thinking. In other
words, a healthy attitude of thinking about food as something we
take for sustenance rather than something we lust after for
satisfaction. It should NOT involve slavish point-counting and
deprivation. The WW members in this NG who constantly post recipes
here and dream about what they will eat tomorrow - in other words,
who perpetuate their love of food - simply don't understand this
fundamental point and will never maintain normal weight naturally. Food
is no different
from oxygen. We take it to live. We shouldn't live to take it.



I disagree with this. I love food. Food is terrific, a gift in our
lives. I plan my melas in advance, what you would call dream about
what I am eating tomorrow, so that I may have good healthy choces
that are a joy to my palate asa well. I also plan ahead so I can be
assured that I have meals that sustain my staisfaction as well as
conform to my desired calorie intake.

There is nothing wrong with enjoying food. Enjoyment is a wonderful
thing! There is no superioirity in viewing food as only fuel. If
that attitude works for you, rock on. But for those of us who enjoy
cooking, food will continue to be a wonderful thing to share with
family and friends and to enjoy!


AMEN!

Might I add that before I learned to eat healthy I did not enjoy
food, I just shoveled in whatever I had on hand. I could not cook, I
didn't know about what's good what isn't, the only spices I knew
about were salt and pepper.



The most convenient food is often the least good for you.



I've educated myself, not only about healthy foods, but about tasty
foods, fresh veggies and fruits, spices and condiments that make the
foods I eat enjoyable without adding tons of fats to it.



Indian pulses om nom nom.


Now everything I eat has to be worth it, health wise, taste wise. I
eat about 1/3 (if not less) of the food I used to eat, but I enjoy
every single bite of it. That's why I'm satisfied with eating so much
less, because it's enjoyable. I don't have to keep eating in the hope
that the next bite is going to be better, it's all good!

I also eat all sorts of foods, carbs, proteins, sweets, whatever.




I am an enigma there. I don't care enough about sweets to worry about it.
But I DO enjoy my bread and potato every now and again.


Some of them in moderation, but there are no banned foods. I love
brownies, I have one every once in a while. If I had a store bought
brownie every day, it wouldn't taste that great, but a good fresh
bakery baked brownie every few weeks tastes heavenly!

Food is not the enemy, I love food, I love eating, I lost 70 lbs in
2002-2003 and have been maintaining since.



I lost ... I can't remember. Size 16 to size 6 a few years ago. I am
maintaining, kinda. I went up a couple of pounds. Back to journalling to
reset myself... As I drink my tastey rosemary veggie soup.


Will~
