(portion-) controlling myself
 

well, this induction thing is an eye-opener, eh? life is changing - and hopefully weight will be too, soon.....

for example - when i made my HB eggs (2-days' breakfasts worth), i would glob on the MW, now i put on 1 tbsp exactly for the 2 days - and also the salsa...one tbsp each day, where i'd normally just cover the top of the eggs , probably with 2 tbsp per day....also - who knew peas were so high?!? i now count them, rather than thinking of them as a "free food"...AND canned tomatoes!!! they were my staple free food! well, ha ha on me - they have TWENTY GRAMS PER CAN. no wonder i wasn't losing anything!!


ah, the revelations!

i'm still making my yummy foods, but having less of them, and counting the carbs rather than winging it.......

When you say "peas" you mean pea PODS, right? Not the little round green peas... 1/2 cup green peas has 7 net grams carb. 1/2 cup raw pea pods has 3.4 net grams carb, about half of green peas. All veggies have carbs... none are "free".

oh, no Tril, i meant PEAS -those little green buggers - you see what i mean??

:P

thinking i won't have them at all until i'm on to phase 2.......may have green beans...i love green beans...

Well, those little green buggers are a legume. Which you shouldn't be eating until you've hit the 6th rung of the OWL carb ladder. Most people don't have legumes until they're in Pre-Maintenance. Check those food lists to be sure you can have what you think you can!
