Food as fuel...



Recommended Posts

I remember this really hot personal trainer I had.

He said I don’t enjoy food - food is fuel to me - and my body is my work - it is my billboard -

what does your billboard say...

in and out burger

taco bell

little caesars

burger king

etc etc etc...none of us needs ideas on how to eat like crap.

I know my large 350lb body screams junk food.

What do you want your new billboard to say?

My husband just reminded me about this trainer -

ok not this part...

he was unbelievably hot - think difficult to look at hot

this part:

he said it all the time - stop eating for enjoyment - eat once a week for enjoyment - allow one meal as a splurge - eat to fuel that body - eat lean Proteins and you will have a lifetime of success...his words are true - and when I’m on the loser bench I’m going to remind myself everyday - and right now while I prepare for the surgery - I’m going to remind myself everyday - eating for enjoyment for pain for fear for whatever is OVER - eating to fuel this amazing engine I have is my new motto.

My mom always says nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels. She stays pretty thin, but gains weight occasionally and can pull back the reins.

I also had tried a "not diet" called the naturally slim program. They had a lot of good ideas. They said that thin people enjoy food and heavy people do not. Watch a naturally skinny person eat and you will see they eat slowly and savor the food. Heavy people just shove the food in their mouth and barely chew it before they swallow. It will take a skinny person 20 minutes to eat the same thing it takes for a heavy person to eat in 7 minutes. It takes 20 minutes for the chemicals from your stomach to ghetto you brain, so the skinny person will get full and not eat the entire meal but a heavy person will eat the whole meal and want desert because the do not know they are full yet.

Hot mama! Instead of big mama ! That's a good point about not enjoying it and it being just fuel!!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
