(that's what they used to call me) Okay, well since in the 2 weeks or so that I've been on these boards, I have only shown my basket case side, I will try to exhibit my "together" side a bit (to the two people who end up reading this.. and for me :)) Anyways, I made an important discovery the past few days... if there is no food in the house, it is hard to eat anything that makes you feel guilty...even if you are starved... My parents have no food judgement... At ages 66 (my dad) and 55 (my mom) they are both getting into shape... (because my dad got Diabetes, and my mom saw a picture of her chubby self and got motivated...) anyways, they still have no judgement and go to the market and buy all kinds of crazy things.. but they are in New York and I have the house and the kitchen all to myself. I had planned to go stock up on healthy food from the market, but my new plan is not to keep much food in the house this week.. I lost a few pounds this weekend (thank God.) because I was busy studying and didnt want to go to the market so I had to just eat the last bit of healthy food in the house... there is some stuff.. but I am picky, so I dug through the pantry and found progresso soup-- sooo healthy, raisin bran... also very healthy..and stuff like that and thats all I ate... now my plan is Salad... Salad Binge for Bonnie.... No, not really, but I figure if I make that a major staple of my diet, that would be a really good thing... A year ago, when I was being super healthy== every time I ate out, I had some kind of a grilled chicken salad.. thats the track I need to get back on. And exercise, but I need to take things one step at a time.
