You are doing it!!! Go RAS!!! Food is looking good. So do you put brown rice on the salad and if so what kind of dressing if any?

[kkrichar]

Good job, RAS!! I need to clean up my diet. Too many higher fat items making their way in. Maybe I should get back to reading the journals here. It's always motivating to see someone else doing what I want to do and accomplishing what I want to accomplish! Thanks for the great example.

[RAS]

Yes Anna,I put the rice in the salad..I don't mind it cold..This way I can also eat or like it better as I don't use salt when cooking...& rice and oatmeal to me taste blah with out it...I've been using up my ff salad dressings,before I make the 3-2-1. RAS

Your food looks great. I hope it inspires me to adhere more closely. I kind of want to and yet I don't have that "I've hit bottom" desperation where I'm willing to do anything. Oh well, it'll come when it's comes. Meanwhile, I can come here and gain inspiration from you.
Thanks!

Hi Everyone,No I haven't fallen off yet,but the sweet tooth bug has been calling.Posting what I eat does help.Makes me accountable.Don't want to write it so I woun't eat it! RAS

[RAS]

Had my blood work done last Thursday.Get the results tomorrow,I know they will not be good.As I wrote in Chili's 10 day Mary Minnie journal,I'll show my md this can be done without meds.RAS

[Chile]

Has the MM helped reduce your cravings? It helped tremendously with mine. Didn't even crave chocolate that time of month.

I've got a follow up with my doctor, complete with bloodwork for cholesterol again, in September. This is motivating me to stay on the path so I can blow his socks off with my weight loss and improvements in blood pressure and cholesterol. If we don't prove it to the doctors, who will?!

[RAS]

Hey Chilli, The cravings are somewhat less,but need to do this consistantly,before they are completely gone.
