I have friends who can just sit there and talk without touching the food but I would have to wire my jaw shut to accomplish that. the chips really get me. I always end up eating too many.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15882915902110469241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744039633922872510.post-8940851984441347092008-04-04T16:30:00.000-07:002008-04-04T16:30:00.000-07:00southerner I cant tell you many times Ive tried ea...southerner I cant tell you many times Ive tried eating before the event. Princess DI, all the movies stars, everyone says thats the way to go! Well not for me! All I do is go the event and eat just as much. To eat before is just more calories for me. Im a died in the wool foodaholic I guess.Mrs. Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12911621891840832728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744039633922872510.post-16762307411742285362008-04-04T15:12:00.000-07:002008-04-04T15:12:00.000-07:00I have this post from the other day http://souther...I have this post from the other day http://southernseven.blogspot.com/2008/03/i-want-food.html where I was feeling the same exact things. I had a sunday school party then a dinner group party two consecutive nights. At the SS party they had meatball subs and I ate taco soup before going. I then ate a couple of meatballs and carrots with ranch at the party. I did have icecream with a mini butterfinger on it. But, what I am trying to do is not allow myself to totally give up and eat everything or say I will start tomorrow. I am making choices to have a little of this and not eat the chips that are there. At home it is so much easier. But, I feel like I am making progress in changing my all or nothing attitude to making choices. I weigh the cost of eating it or not. Can you eat before going to the event? That way you won't be so hungry and can make better choices.Southernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00742517323759698146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744039633922872510.post-62989827254116732012008-04-04T12:38:00.000-07:002008-04-04T12:38:00.000-07:00NOT coming!!!! Wahhhhhhh!Should I skip too, since ...NOT coming!!!! Wahhhhhhh!<BR/><BR/>Should I skip too, since I am being DESERTED? It is only about 36 hours before our weigh-in...<BR/><BR/>Watermelon? I love that stuff, it wrestles for first place with cherries as my great fruit love (boy, that sounds funny).<BR/><BR/>If you eat much of it, most definitely count it as water. On hot days in the summer, I have been know to eat almost half a watermelon myself (I'm not kidding, they know me at A--- fruit stand) and I make tons of trips to the little girl's room because it's basically fiber and water...and that might have been a little too much info:)MyKidsMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08829690651886059542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744039633922872510.post-6431233500689909402008-04-04T10:24:00.000-07:002008-04-04T10:24:00.000-07:00Mrs D,Watermelon has only 25 calories per half cup...Mrs D,<BR/>Watermelon has only 25 calories per half cup. My boys and I picked up a produce nutrtion chart at our local grocer. It really helps me out. I love fresh fruit and it doesn't make me feel like Im giving anything up if I trade that out for a snack with more calories. You know what I mean??<BR/>The watermelon sure sounds good, its mostly water too. I wonder if you can count some of your water intake from it?? (wouldnt that be great? yeah I wish)<BR/>VanessaVanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17210572161191291285noreply@blogger.com
