Question
You made it! Proud of you!
Answer
Thanks! How are you doing? Are you still doing the diet? So far I have lost approximately 12 pounds. None of my original medical problems have gotten better because of the diet, but the hypoglycemia due to the lack of carbs has subsided for the most part. I am still so mad though, because when I went back to him on friday he insisted that it still has to do with my diet, and that he wants me to do it for another 3 weeks! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to try, because I like the weight loss. But it is very difficult to watch other people eat the foods that I love, and not be able to have them. For example, tonight for dinner my parents had cheeseburgers on rolls, and macaroni salad. I had fish and brown rice. You would think that people could at least make an effort not to eat these foods in front of me. I sorta had another anxiety attack tonight, because I am so upset that he refused to give me back any of my favorite foods. Damn it, all I want is a bag of Doritos and a slice of pizza, or maybe a sandwich, and I would be happy! He thinks that I want these things because I am addicted to carbs. But isn't it possible that maybe, just maybe, I want these foods because I like the way that they taste???
I mean, I am very happy that I am allowed rice now. I can have up to a cup with each meal. He says no butter or salt, but the hell with him. He says all of my foods have to be absolutely bland. But he never explained why, and I refuse to listen to him about that.
Have you been able to stick with it? The worst part of it for me is not only watching others eat what I crave so badly, but it is the fact that most nights I don't get to eat dinner until very late (sometimes not until 9:30pm) and before this, I used to bring a sandwich with me, or a snack to hold me over until I can get home and eat dinner. But now I have to bring rice with me. How the heck am I supposed to eat rice while driving??? This diet just does not fit with my lifestyle at all. Like I said, I like the weight loss, but that is about all that I like. It hasn't done anything else at all for me. Nothing.
I'm sorry, I just had to vent. Now I feel better. (sorta) So have you been able to stick with it, or did you go back to the grape fanta?

Answer
heh, I made it 13 days in. Before the last night my parents decided to throw a giant dinner party. They knew I was on the diet and the still threw it. There wasnt even a reason to throw a party! It wasnt even a holiday. Anyways, I couldnt hold myself back and I had some BBQ ribs, rolls, burgers, and ect. Sorry, Im weak :-( Sigh, sorry I copped out like that. I lost 15 pounds(we just got a treadmill too) So with the combination of the diet, and exercise, I feel much healthier. Since the day of the party, I havent been eating much at all. I eat rice at every meal, but I dont go crazy or anything.
Sheesh, all that dieting to find out something you already know. So you havent discovered any new allergies, or gotten better huh? Look on the bright side, everyone likes losing weight...then again you have to do it for 3 more weeks with evil family members chomping down greasy,delicious,cheese stuffed hamburgers. *drool*, oh my fish is ready, guess Ill have some. MMMMM.
Anyways, I general still follow the diet, but I eat lots of white rice.
keep it up, good luck
Answer
good luck
Answer
I have been finding other things that I like to eat, that I can sorta substitute for the other, more fattening snack foods. Yesterday I went to the health food store and got a whole bunch of brown rice chips and mini rice cakes, as well as rice crackers. They are all actually pretty good. In the health food store, they have a deli so I bought some of this wild rice that they had with squash and beans. It's actually really good. It's $7 a pound though! :0
Congrats on making it so far and losing the weight!
yeah, it really sucks that I am not feeling any better as far as my allergies go. especially my eyes. Today or tomorrow, my ophthalmologist is going to call my allergist and they are going to talk and try to put their heads together and come up with something.
There you go making me hungry with all that talk about barbecue. mmmmmmmmm.......
