As far as veggies go, potatoes are my go to food. I love potatoes, mash, baked and fried. I like them in my curries - it is the only part of stew I like - I like them at breakfast, lunch and dinner. I like potatoes. TH made these baked potatoes with rosemary and I- like- ate them all.
Now I didn't go over my calories or even come close, but talk about not being able to stop. I had them for my lunch and dinner. I probably would have had them for breakfast too if I hadn't gotten up at noon. So I have been staying away from those foods I love but can't stop eating (anything good) but I really thought I could handle the potatoes. Oh well. At least for the next month I will not have to worry about food. First delivery tomorrow, I am excited - it looks like a lot of food, but I am guessing small portions.
It is going to be about 200 calories more then I have been eating, but I guess I am going to have to start - if I start gaining weight at 1200 calories I am going to be really upset. But when I started I was at 1400 calories then for most of the diet I was at 1120, only for the last three weeks was I at 960. Now I kind of wished I was at 960 longer. So maybe it is all in the head...

Seriously...you can't help but lose weight at 1200. Don't worry.
ReplyDeleteThe potatoes were VERY low cal AND filling - they're OK to make. YOU can "peel/pick" the fresh rosemary leaves off the stem next time I make them.
ReplyDeleteYummmm - too well cooked
