We went to TH's sons house for father's day and it was a truly beautiful day in Sacramento.
I don't know how I am going to manage eating off TFD because I have no control on my own. I think this weekend I ate more fruit then the Fruit of the Loom fruit basket. I just couldn't stop eating fruit, and I ate so much that I actually felt full when I woke up the next morning. So there are two ideas going through my head, one I ate way too much or two fruit is more filling then I thought.
Now we learned in Group that fruit and Carbs are only quick energy fixes, if we want long term energy we should eat fat and protein, which I am all for, but...well according to them I can't eat enough fat and protein to fill myself up (I mean seriously do really think 3 oz of meat is really going to fill up anybody?) But fruit taste good, it is relatively low in calories (4 cups of mixed fruit is 280 calories 4 cups of ice cream is 1080 calories) and it is very filling.
So at lunch I had two baby back ribs (they say two ribs is 4 ozs) and green salad. Was I satisfied, well I sure could have eaten more, and I wanted to eat more, but no I wasn't satisfied. I feel I would have been better off not eating anything. It is a slippery slope, and I still don't have enough control to manage it. So I need to just stick with TFD for now.

You had about 3 ounces of meat tops & did a great job at OUR son's & grandson's Father's Day meal - EXCEPT you wouldn't even taste the beets (they were super!!!!!!)
ReplyDeleteYou have eaten a lot of fruit - although I love cutting up fruit, maybe I should put it into smaller containers?
The fruit this summer has been superb other than we've had mixed results with the pineapple.
T3 did WAY better than she's letting on at the Father's Day Feast
