Gosh what I would do for a good chewy steak!!!! I cant eat read meats anymore..stuck with fish and chicken. I can have mince in sloppy bolognaise and stuff but mostly red meats are out for me...I really miss it. And am green with envy when I go to a restaurant and my companion orders a med-well juicy steak or chops. Does anyone else miss red meat?

:hungry:

I almost wish I did miss red meat.

then maybe I would be down 80 lbs like you!

:]

No, not one bit. I can still eat it, I've just chosen not to. Takes too long to chew, it's just not worth it. Now that I haven't eaten it in about a year, it doesn't even appeal to me. Esp. when I look at the calories. :confused:

I can eat half a slice of prime rib. I sometimes get nostalgic for charred animal flesh when I walk in the summer and smell the aroma from all the neighborhood grills. Mostly I've moved on, however. Same thing with bread. I love bread, but haven't had a slice of the stuff in two years. I tried half of a yeast roll this past Thanksgiving. Huge mistake.

When your mind is lusting for a steak (or anything else you can't eat), just remember that it's only food. Do not give it the power to make you miserable. Do not make it more important than it really is. True hunger can be satisfied with a pickle. If the only thing that will make you "not hungry" is a piece of chocolate cake, then you aren't hungry. That's the thing that most of us don't realize - we have probably never felt real hunger!

I can't do most steak, but I can do a thin rib-eye, cook med. I usually dip it in a sauce of some kind to "lube" it up. I prefer black peppercorn gravy, McCormics makes it in a packet. It's a rare treat, usually for special occasions, we are having steak for Christmas Eve. Other times I have shrimp when others are having steak. That goes down pretty easy. ~Mandy
