Then, the new Start Fresh recipe from the latest newsletter (apple kugel) helped. I made this guilt-free recipe and it was really delicious. My husband enjoyed it too, and that made it even easier to stick with my program. Thank you, thank you, thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167573438765320107.post-33117566366793184542008-03-24T11:49:00.000-04:002008-03-24T11:49:00.000-04:00I had the same issues- Shabbos rather than Purim. ...I had the same issues- Shabbos rather than Purim. But your hug did help and knowing you're out there continues to help. I'm doing great since Sunday (lol).<BR/>Mom on my end want a healthy fit daughter, but is a food pusher at the same time. Quite ironic. She was here for Purim too.<BR/>I will try to think of the fact that I KNOW how everything tastes and I KNOW what happens when I taste it again...<BR/>HugsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167573438765320107.post-19586913658384515372008-03-23T11:41:00.000-04:002008-03-23T11:41:00.000-04:00"So many times the food looks so inviting, so good..."So many times the food looks so inviting, so good and I can feel it in my mouth"<BR/>This reminded of something I try to keep in mind. I am not always succesful. The truth is ...there isn't a food I haven't tasted. I know what it tastes like. As Marcia says I can feel it in my mouth. I know how sweet it is, how smooth, how chocolatey, crunchy, spicey, salty, etc etc. I am not missing out on anything. I also know tasting it will most likely eat to eating the whole thing and more!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167573438765320107.post-22066604086666680262008-03-23T11:28:00.000-04:002008-03-23T11:28:00.000-04:00It helped thinking of you hugging me and helping t...It helped thinking of you hugging me and helping through the food. It didn't work 100%. I would have been much much worse without those hugs.<BR/>Purim day wasn't the biggest eating issue. Shabbos was more so. My control was that my mom was here for Purim/Shabbos. I wouldn't dare overeat in front of her! *lol*<BR/> Motzei Shabbos I drove her back home. I then looked in the box, where I had put all the Shaloch Manos before Shabbos. I knew there were some goodies in there. I was planning on having some. I was saved! My mom had picked out the best stuff and taken it home! *lol*<BR/>There are a few things in the box. They thank G-d don't call to me. If I did have any Shaloch Manos left over I would send it all with my husband to work. They will eat it up faster than you can say Purim.!<BR/>The hardest part for me with Passover preps is....taking the time to take care of my food needs.<BR/>In the past I have found I will get so involved and busy with the preps that all of a sudden I realize ..."I'm STARVING!". All I want to do is eat the quickest thing. There are healthy quick things...that I will try to reach for instead. I could say I'll prepare something for lunch before I get involved with the preps. Not gonna happen. I know myself too well. I will grab a fruit first though. That way my hunger will be abated. I will keep yogurt on hand. Baby Carrots is another easy favorite of mine. Even if I eat a whole bag of carrots it won't be awful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
