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. Andy 270/240/200 |

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. Bob "Andy" q wrote in message ...

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. Neil 385/352/200 |

Who makes no fat/cholesterol/salt breakfast, lunch and dinner products? 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. Watching Food TV is torture. Shopping takes forever but I actually don't mind. 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. -- the volleyballchick |

Don't worry about it - It will become gradually more automatic over time. And I still have my cold and it's freezing outside and I'm just whining some more. Pretty much the right forum for kvetching ... Andy 270/240/200 I thought you said you were whining? Looks like bragging to me. |

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. Andy |

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! Neil 385/352/200 |

Andy 270/240/200 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! |
