Eggs

 I was  self pay too. I only had to limit fats for a few days, and 24 hrs of cl liquids.

I know there are good and bad fats,l and salt n sugar I switched to dash n truvia  or years and done alot with more with olive oil.  BUT I do know cheese food, ice cream - bread - burgers-mostly any food at restrurants- and  dont forget my favorite-pizza are very high in fats- I think that's what he wants me to change as soon as possible, to start preapring myself for the new way of eating. I do eat out and I enjoy food too much. 10 years of loss took its toll and food was my comfort, I feel better now So time to let that lifestyle go..

Just remember Girder you can still eat them foods but you will learn how to eat them foods in moderation and how often to eat them foods.

I eat chicken about 4 days a week, pork one day maybe two and then I fix my burgers at home and still eat them. In fact I had a cheeseburger before I went to Zumba tonight with lettuce, tomato and onion .

I still eat my favorite like you  which is pizza. I love pizza and I refuse to give that up  . Instead of eating it 4- 5 times a week like I use to . I order pizza once a month and eat a slice maybe two if it really thin crust . Eating that once a month is not going to ruin all the work I have done for the month . Its a food I enjoy and I still eat it .

There is nothing wrong with them foods, you just learn how often to eat them foods :o)

I'm not a Ice Cream eater at all , in fact I touch the stuff maybe once a yr .  I am getting ready to start my period and McDonald's came out with a new Rolo McFlurry and dang that thing was good lol. Talk about yummy   I had a small one and didn't think twice about it.  I dont feel guilty eating it because its something I dont eat all the time . It was worth every bite and then I went to Zumba and worked it off lol.  Even with that Ice cream I still came around 1200 calories today and that is still low for me because of the Advanced Zumba I do on Tuesday nights I should be around 1400 to 1500 for today .

The way I look at all this is , all these foods are going to be  around me the rest of my life, instead of fighting them foods , or ignoring them foods I am learning how to eat them foods in moderation, and how often to eat them foods.  That is what my mom does and she has been a size six for over 50 yrs now .  I want to learn how to eat like a normal person does if that makes sense .
