The Same Old Me.
Okay, so my tummy has gotten used to French Skinny portions. I understand that I taste for flavor for about 3 or 4 bites. Now I have to deal with everyone else. When I eat French Skinny portions it makes other people uncomfortable. Even Hubby, who from time to time, would put me on a super secret diet that was reminiscent of a 1950's five and dime store. He never said anything but all of a sudden there was cottage cheese, pineapple rings and a Salisbury steak for dinner. Now he's watching me like a hawk and I'm getting comments from so many people I feel like I'm on a diet again. Then I change one thing. I simply say "Oh, I'm so full." Instead of ordering something little, I order whatever I want, eat my French Skinny portion and take the rest home. This seems to calm everyone down.
"It's still the same old me. I'm just not that hungry. "
k- whenever you change your dance steps everyone in the dance must change theirs and thereby change =uneasines/neverousness and all sorts of related feelings... soon the new will become the norm.

WHAT A JOURNEY IT HAS BEEN! a war hard fought to say the least...keep on keeping on-g
ReplyDeleteYou are so right G! It's so good to hear from you. I too am already sad that the end is near. Maybe I should go shoot some more gnomes and come up with another plan!

My friend and I used to do that 50's diet, almost purely motivated by nostalgia - we called it "Aunt Mavis's diet." Always lasted about 2.5 days. At least there was no aspic involved.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you do about family dinners? For myself I feel very comfortable nibbling small bites for lunch and dinner but I want to sit down and eat the same things as my kids at night; otherwise I get the same "I'm different" feeling as I did when I was protien-shaking it.
First dog I've seen that actually looks happy to be wearing reindeer antlers!
ReplyDeletethecommonsensualist you are hilarious. Aspic = ick.
ReplyDeleteI'm still working on the family dinner thing. For now I put the old size portions on my plate and just eat about 1/4 of it. That way it looks like the same thing. But I have to pay attention to not "mindlessly eat".
April! You are the animal expert, so glad you think it's mildly okay:)
