Chocolate underground is a flavor of Stoneyfield brand....my daughter told me about that concoction.  I didn't think it was worth the calories or points....and gave me heartburn besides.

After reading the posts today, I had a question.  If you just have 1 bite of RoseBud's cheeseburger, what do you do with the rest of the cheeseburger?  I guess I have a hard time relating to taking only a couple bites of something.  I need more than a couple of bites of something to feel that I've truly enjoyed it.  That's me.  A compulsive overeater.

Also, my food plan allows for 6 servings of starches a day.  I have two at breakfast, two at lunch, and two at dinner.  When I eat spaghetti, I always eat a cup of it, rather than 1/2 cup of it, like some people do.  I've never felt a 1/2 cup of spaghetti was enough to satisfy me.  Oh well, everybody's different.

I give the rest of the cheeseburger to RoseBud - that's who I bought it for.  I take one bite usually if I'm not planning to eat anything else because I have to take my meds with food.

In order to maintain my weight, I have to eat far less to maintain my weight at 138 pounds than I did at 287ish pounds.  It doesn't take as much to fuel my body now.  I don't feel deprived.

Seems like very few calories to me.....how many cals do you take in a day?

FYI - I LOVE Indian food!

I don't count calories.  I eat healthy foods, 5-6 times a day and I strive to eat at least some protein at every meal.  I haven't been eating much for the past 6 months because meds that I'm on make everything taste horrible.
I  Indian food too.  I used to hate it - hated the smell, taste, look of it - and one day I was over at a friend's house and she had Indian food takeout and for some reason it smelled good to me so I tasted it and loved it. 

Sorry to hear about the meds causing a bad taste.

The only reason I asked is because when I read what you ate, like 1 bit of a burger for dinner I thought my goodness that's not enough fuel for the body.

Hope you can come off the meds soon and start enjoying your meals.....
