i love this! not because it’s fun to be hiding out. it’s just so honest. i have sweatshirts that i wear b/c of the pockets and my ability to stash my M&M’s in there. that thin candy shell. i can’t even.
I'll just take a seat here for a while

Lol … I don’t know why but this made me laugh … I get pissed too, I swear the powers that Be are out to kill us with the crap they put in our food … or at least make us addicted, fat and to the doctor every month. Ugh … honestly, because I’m such a freak about food I pretty much only eat at home so I can know what the label says… I am convinced there is nothing you can buy at a restaurant (fast food or sit down) that isn’t full of chemicals, corn and sugar)… makes me so frustrated …
Sugar is a little easier … but corn is going to be very hard as there is corn flour in like everything!!! I can’t say I won’t end up eating it by accident at a restaurant or wedding or bbq, etc. but I will do everything in my power not to because the cravings can come back with a vengeance… I do have Diet Coke (chemical hell) every few months with vodka but have to steer clear of sugar free gum because I can chew a whole pack in an hour (obsessively)… it’s weird I know 
. I have a friend that brings a little thing of salad dressing from home everyday so when she has lunch out she just gets it plain and uses her own dressing that she knows what’s in it. All this is such a pain that just being healthy feels like an eating disorder … grrrr …
Ps. If someone asks you why you eat weird just tell them you get headaches or the roof of your mouth gets itchy or something so you have to be careful … that shuts people up when it’s medical

So u read all the labels?? No sugar? No corn syrup? What r your parameters?

Corn syrup is a definite no ! 
in my opinion That stuff is not even recognizable to our bodies and that’s where the cravings come in!! It’s like snorting bath salts … lol… it’s pure chemicals but the body starts to crave it ya know? If it even says sugar in the label it’s a no. I also look at the sugar content (if it says like 14g or 35g, etc. or added sugars, its a no - needs to say like 3g or under) … The one way I’m lucky is I don’t crave variety … I never have. I used to eat cereal for all 3 meals in my 20’s … not the healthiest but …
I can eat plain chicken, brown rice and brocolli for weeks on end (with massive corn chips !!! Haha)… as long as I have that one thing that is enjoyable and a ton of it …
I honestly wish I didn’t have to eat … or that I could eat 3 small meals a day…I love love love to be stuffed to the point of oblivion… it’s unreal how much I can eat in one sitting … I’m almost never satisfied… I just quit eating because I can’t fit in anymore !! Am I insane? I read what I write and think I’m the only one that does and thinks these things … grrr … I appreciate your honestly too it helps me not feel so alone in this …
I mostly do OMAD because I love that full feeling … I don’t like snacks or a little of this or that …
I have never liked fruit, don’t know why? I probably have candida or something because it makes me feel kinda nauseous… but I would eat a banana or apples with peanut butter if there was nothing else …
I used to crave pizza and cake or donuts every single day so I’m withering the “ok foods” to so little now. People say moderation … has never ever worked for me … it’s all or nothing. Just easier for me by far…
Your company is always welcome! And it’s a good conversation. I’m glad you found Liz and she found you. We are all here to be cheerleaders for each other. [quote=“Stacia, post:600, topic:3806”]
Miramar, I am beyond impressed. I have zero desire to ever be in the kitchen … nice job with all this creative, home cooking

I like knowing exactly what is in my food. If I make it there are no questions.
I’m not so much a binger - more a foodie. I want to taste 20 different flavors each meal 
. If I were to have a last meal that I would know was my last meal, I couldn’t waste it on pre-packaged things. I was spoiled and worked in really nice restaurants where everything was freshly made. I’ve been fortunate to taste so many different things and I’m no where near done. I’m that person who can do just a handful of m&M’s - because I’m bored with them after that. I know how they taste, but I am ready for something different. I will buy the new candy on the shelf because I’m curious and need to taste it.
Last month my neighbor got that giant plastic tub of m&M’s. He gave me a giant ziplock for some before my trip to Orlando. It’s now sitting on my coffee table since I got back - untouched. And all through this fast. I already know what those taste like, so they are like a sad old toy that doesn’t get played with as much any more .
Hell yeah she can. I hear the strength of her in her journal. It’s a matter of energy refocus IMO. It’s like the person who is pretty, and you tell them they are but they have no idea how beautiful they are.
I think Jesus was a being of a higher vibration. So good vibes could be a thing, no?
I have like no nails. Too busy with my hands to bother.
And I wear the same flop flops every day all year round. So I’m allowed to have pedicures to make up for the non shoe spending.
Sometimes I make a giant meal and then I’m so amazed and impressed with myself I have to wait to eat it - or I’ve been known to have a couple of bites and wrap the rest up. I enjoy the process.
Yesterday had a lot of vinegar and fermenting smells going on which in that stage of the game was too intense to make me hungry.
Last night I fell asleep with my door wide open. Thang god because I could smell the fermenting kicking off and it was intense enough. I can’t imagine if I’d closed the door. I would have awoken fermented myself.
“Those chips are nice but they don’t align with my slender healthy eating plan today so I will look forward to them on special occasions .”
“Those chips don’t serve me and my goals. I will have a bottle of water instead.”
“I know what those chips taste like already and now I’m ready for something different.”
You could also try - when you’re looking at the chips in the store note the price. Don’t buy, put the money in a jar. Then do something special with the Jared money in a few months. Like give to charity, or buy yourself something special.
Or, do the math and figure out what your average chip/snack spending is for the year. Bet you could buy yourself a new computer instead. Or get a monthly subscription to a fancy app.
I try to avoid high fructose corn syrup. There’s a great video you both need to see. I’ll have to dig it up and post it.
Ok then! Looks like I was busy yapping on the phone last night and I missed the party!
My phone needs charging so gonna flip to the computer and dig up the video link.
His videos are long, but so informative! He really gets into the how we’ve been badly programmed, and when you realize you will become so aware of it. I believe he goes into more than just regular sugar here.
I would love to set up a video review thread but I don’t see where that would fit in, except maybe the tools section @Yasemin ? Do I have permission to start a recommended video resources and reviews of them thread?
Ok, onto business.
Good morning good morning good morning and an extra good morning today!
I think I got my need to cook out of my system yesterday. I can finally get my kitchen back together this morning. I’m realizing I have 3.5 weeks left to get all in order before I leave for my trip.
Was talking to a girlfriend last night and she wants me to fly up to NY from Cancun. Too soon and too much time away from home I think. And now she’s saying maybe July I can work her in. Maybe. Hard to leave when I love where I am so much.
This morning I was dreaming about Dr. Joe, and I kept running into him. I think that was a reminder to meditate more.
Need to get the kitchen TV rehooked up and put on some educational videos and get to work.

my mom says this all the time. she’s like don’t cut out things you like to eat completely. but i go buck wild. it does seem so restrictive to cut out sugar. but we obviously don’t need it. what do you think about sugar once a week? i’m looking for loopholes
