All food is good. Don't deny yourself. Why sacrifice what you love? Eat it.
No, this isn't Eve talking to Adam. It's what I learned today at a T.O.P.S. Inspiration Workshop. T.O.P.S. is a health support group. Some may call it a weight loss support group, but when I was almost wasting away, I used T.O.P.S. to gain weight, because it's about healthy eating. Unfortunately, now I can't reverse the trend. I needed to gain weight then and got in the habit of stuffing myself, so now I'm finding it hard to stop.
Besides, after my experience with Cronkhite Canada Syndrome, I recommend that everyone be ten pounds over weight, because if you ever get sick, you'll need the reserves.
Still, that's ten pounds over weight, not twenty+.
What did I learn today? "There is no bad food, only bad portion control."
Take your plate. Divide it in half, now on one of the halves, divide that in half. Half of your plate should be vegetable. One quarter of your plate should be meat. One quarter should be starch.
I think this is doable. I like vegetables. I also like meat. And starch. And sugar. And grains. And fruit. And beer. And dairy. And new foods. And old favorites. And...um...and now I'm hungry.
