Accountability - Monday.

oops, my eyes missed this so I posted separately, I'll catch the right thread tonight :)

Where do you get TVP? A Health food store? Leslee

Wegmans sells it . and health food stores.

I'm still trying to find it somewhere else but the health food store usually carries Red Mill brand in Textured Vegetable (or soy) Protein. But I found it also at the Mexican Market. We have Vallarta Markets here. I hear from my latin friends that they use it in Vegetarian Ceviche. But it's over in the dried chilis area where they dried corn husks are. So I've looked in alot of other stores in that same general area and I haven't found it at all. I'm waiting for Winco to carry it in the bin section. They carry dehydrated refried beans there (which have seriously NO fat, good stuff)  I also found a place on-line that has it reasonably priced: harmony homes foods. They have different flavors of it (chicken, pork, beef and plain) and they have it in different sized chunks too. I'm thinking after the price of gas goes down, I might have some ready cash and give a sample pack a try.

I guess the totals are low.  But to be honest I stay pretty full.   I try not to go overboard and usually stop at 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup at a time.  I'll be honest I'm terrified to gain the weight back so I force myself to work this tool everyday.  I told someone earlier today that my mantra is "I have to love myself more than the food"  It's hard but I manage.  Don't get me wrong.  I do grab the cr*^ every so often but not like I use to.  I see the Doctor on Thursday and we are going to review the numbers. I'll keep you posted

YOu could call me terrified too! I've seen so many people who have gained back alot of weight and it's scary. Then people have actually said to me "Wait till you gain it all back..." It's really hard but I'm really too thin and I really should put on alittle weight..I want to work out and put on muscle and that will make the scale number go up..If I can handle it mentally. But that's another issue.

Grooming your DOG? Yikes. Now that is one high maintenance dog! LOL. My little Petey runs and hides when I get the brush out. The silly Beagle, she'll lay on the ground and let me brush her for hours but Petey, I guess he's just not the show dog I think he should be. LOL Calories low, protein not too bad. You're right, alittle low but it's very correctible...with a snack.  See ya!
