Hey Harriet, LadyM andHarmony...
I find drinking either a hot herbal or decaf tea at night really helps soothes my wanting to eat everything in the house. And when all else fails, a bit of protein like left over chicken or a hard boiled egg does the trick. I never eat cheese cause there’s too much fat in it and it binds me up as well.
Jason and I had a really interesting conversation abt keto vs carb cycling diets. He is very educated in both.
I’m doing keto which is low carbs and high good fats. He didn’t discourage me from eating that way because he knows and has seen how carbs set me off on a binge.
He’s giving a workshop on nutrition next weekend and wants me to attend.. which I agreed to. He want to reintroduce “good carbs” to me after I reach my goal.
As a reminder to y’all Jason was the trainer for the ABC tv show Extreme weight loss, which took contestance who were very obese and worked with them for a year teaching nutrition, correct proportions and exercise as a way to loose weight.
Several of the people he trained moved to the Valley to be near him and Chris and Heidi Powell, who produced the show and I’m friends with several of them.
Unfortunately not my friends but others gain most of their weight back. Jason has talked to me and was very upfront, but not telling me who, said many of the people had traumatic backgrounds...sexual abuse, physical abuse and rape that chose not to deal with these issues and therefore used food to self medicate even after they reached their goal weight.
All of this reminds me of a quote that I learned long ago when addressing my own weight issues... It’s not what you eat, but what’s eating you. With the exception of this weight gain, I can attribute it to the unhappy times in my life.
However the frustration of dealing with my hernia certainly contribute to my weight this time.
