Before this one of my favorite things to do is smother mash potatoes with any vegetable we were having at the time. Corn, peas, snap beans, really didn't matter. My wife said I looked like I was eating like a child. There was nothing like mash potatoes, with snaps beans smothered with gravy. I didn't think you could really eat much better.

Tonight, I ate my chicken, and my wife cooked some corn and some black beans. After we ate, the corn and the black beans were left over. I went to the frig for my water bottle and she had mixed the corn and the black beans together and I am not sure if it was the contrast in color, flashing back to how I would have eaten them in the past or maybe it was a simple craving. Not sure, but they really looked good.

I told my wife that is how I would have eaten them and she said, "You would have" but I'm done with it and the chickens will get the pan in the morning.

I was like "Damn chickens".

Maybe the trade-off is tomorrow's eggs. (always searching for the silver lining)

For my self I see it in a similar way, not really a craving but a memory of it. It has less power over you, there is not so much a physical attraction to the former food, but a fond memory of all the dopamine, the overwhelming tastes we allowed ourselves to get used to.

There are some things I miss. I was a food lover, and could eat just about anything. I certainly had my hyperpalatable favorites.

I am tired of yo-yo dieting and gaining back the weight, and when chronic diseases started to be an issue and now they are gone - well - I just can't go back, no matter how much I would love to binge on a pizza or have my favorite burrito, or my favorite dish at the chinese restaurant.

Yep, fond memories of the past. I still have those. I still have fond memories of past girlfriends but I can’t have those anymore than I can that pizza.

    • "Marching into March with Much Motivation"

      For this months challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to get up and move. Spring is in the air. The weather is getting better. Get out there and MOVE! Go for walks, hike some trails if they aren't too muddy. Or just make a goal to get on the treadmill or lift some weights more than usual throughout the month. Get in the habit now, and we just might have beach bodies when summer officially hits, lol. 

       

      Just like before, we encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk. 

      The March drawing will be for a 4-pack of Carnivore Bars!

    • Today is February 1st and marks the first day of "National Fasting February" - and yes, this is a thing. Google it!

      For this month's challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to practice various forms of fasting throughout the month. The type of fasting you wish to do is entirely up to you. We are going to encourage INTERMITTENT FASTING, that is to put it simply, skipping a meal so that you are only eating 2 meals a day instead of the traditional 3 meals a day. The goal is to enjoy these meals within an 8 hour "feasting window" and then no food in the remaining 16 hours "fasting window" (in which 8 of those hours you should be sleeping).

      An example is waking up at 7am, but waiting until 11am-noon for your first meal, and then having dinner at 6-7pm for your 2nd meal. Other people prefer to eat a breakfast, then a mid-day lunch, and skip dinner. 

      If you want to throw in a 24, 48, or 72 hour fast just to show off by all mean do so, lol.
