TODAY WE CHEAT!

I was remembering the movie "Defending Your Life" with Albert Brooks and
Meryl Streep. They had a scene where they could eat ANYTHING they wanted
and it was all for the taking and they would NOT gain one ounce of
weight.
What would be your dream food(s)?
Mine would be an enchilada dinner with rice and refried beans with home
made tortillas and a porter house steak with a huge loaded baked potato
and for dessert and huge peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream and hot
carrot cake with cream cheese icing. sigh
Lasagna, I can't forget the lasagna!
Let's hear yours.

Missing lasagna? You are doing it all wrong.

I had lasagna the other night at a nice Italian restaurant. Ate half and
brought the rest home for hubby's lunch the next day. My left overs were the
chicken from my daughter's Chicken Alfredo. Had some of the noodles too.

Oh, and last night was the Chinese buffet. Used all of my remaining flex
points for the week (which ends today) but it was worth it.

Again, you are doing it the wrong way.

What would stop you from having that now? Isn't that what flex points are
for?

This post made me so grateful. My head immediately went to how Blissfully
joyful it is for me to place my hands on my hips and feel muscle and bone.
And know that I got here eating enchiladas with rice and refried beans in
sensible moderate portions... the only difference being that I left the
table feeling barely satisfied and energized as opposed to crawling away in
a logy fat induced coma like state. I have no "dream" foods, because if I
want something I have a little of it. If I want a lot, I just "bargain"
with myself and say "hey, I will eat ONE Sees candy today, and if I still
want more tomorrow, I got it!" This from the girl who has most of the pound
of candy she bought in Houston in August, safe in the freezer. This brings
to mind something I have been thinking about a lot, look for the thread
Permanent Changes

Hi Bobby,

I loved that movie.

As to the dream foods, I have to agree with the others about eating all the
stuff now so that you don't feel deprived.

However, my dream would be to want to eat well, and healthily, to exercise
because I really wanted to and not so that I can eat a little more, and to
still lose now and maintain later, without having to obsess about counting
food points or activity points all the time. Hopefully, somewhere along the
way, I may get to a point where it all just clicks in, without too much
mental math all the time.

Best of luck on your weight loss journey...and do have some lasagna along
the way.

Carol

A truly HUMONGOUSE slice of my son's birthday cake! We made it together
last night, so he could take it to school today. Chocolate madeira cake
with cherries in, covered with marzipan and white and dark chocolate...
Oh, how I wish I could be there for a slice this afternoon!

Recipe and pix of him making it on my web site (url below) in Kate's
World, in the food bit!

I do so agree - but there are some things I HAVE to avoid because of the
gall bladder. Hence my wish for a slice of my son's cake! Even on WW I
would normally budget for a small slice and be perfectly happy. It's
just that this is one of the things I KNOW will cause me real pain, so
the longing is there for the carefree days of a HUGE slice!

The cobbler sounds divine actually. I've been craving cobbler. I wonder
if anyone has any low point ideas for that?

Just one question - Castor Sugar is what in USA terms? (G)
