My problem is that throughout my whole life I could eat whatever I wanted with no effect...until now that is...the outside hasn't changed...(other than noticing that my arms are losing muscle tone)...but inside, my cholesterol is very high, I have never worked out a day in my life, and I have to change my eating habits and start working out...

And I eat well for a while, but then those sweets seem to find me...

LOL..no juicing chips but I will tell you on the one day a week that you load up on a whole bunch of calories when you juice 6 days a week.....chips are really delicious!...and my favorite is ice cream!...and anything loaded with cheese!

oh you had to go there. you had to mention the c word

c h e e s e I have Camembert on hand for emergencies triple cream too

it's in it's own food group just like coffee is

are you trying to say you juice 6 days a week and just drink?

I haven't juiced for awhile but am starting again next week. I drink 2 juices a day and eat food 3-4 times that day...so I eat 5-6 times a day when I'm wanting to be healthy..lol

I have used Camembert on my free day...yummy too!

I particularly like your very expressive language!
haha thanks!


I don't need encouragement though cause I can go overboard

one time my brother and I were out together shopping and we started joking around and we ended up getting so loud people were looking at us

and then we couldn't remember where he parked the car and we thought that was funny too

I'm laughing now just remembering it...better times

tell me about it!

French pastries? good thing I don't live where I used to, cause I can't pass those up

chocolate? my husband goes..'oh here's a box of chocolates I bought for you'

men are fattening. I almost always eat more when he's home

and he's not an ounce overweight

I was doing the shred diet where you eat all these little meals too and change it up so that your body does not get accustomed and use less calories

glad to hear you don't just juice. I was going to send you a care package with salami LOL!

It's me who is my husband's downfall because I can eat whatever I want and not gain weight...so, before I knew about my cholesterol being through the roof, I ate whatever I wanted...and he always blamed me.

Now, he is the one asking is there any chocolate in the house?
And yesterday my teenage son said he was tired of crackers and where is all the chocolate.

I guess I was "punishing" everyone, so last night I had to go out for what my son called the "good snacks".

my aunt was eating anything she wanted and she was not skinny, but medium I guess and then she found out that her cholesterol was sky high too and guess what? she was eating a big bowl of ice cream almost every night and cooking in lots of butter

so she quit quickly too but it is my understanding that exercise combined with better diet is best for lowering cholesterol

I think you can't just cut everything out. I find if I do that, I'm going to have an eating binge sooner or later LOL! and I can binge :rolleyes:

so I eat smaller amounts but i love and I mean love vegetables and salads and such but the glitch is that I will put a spoonful of mayo on my salad on top of the leaner dressing...but it works for me

it's hard not to eat tasty things when they are in the house and also easier to eat less if you are alone I find
