The end is near

Time is weird.  We are coming up to the final three weeks of all product and I am so ready to get off product.  I feel I have been eating product for years now, it is part of my routine, my life, get up have a shake, have a bar, have a shake, have a bar, have soup, have a shake.  The same pretty much day after day after day.  I am living just fine of this routine, but...

I am so not ready to get off product.  It is hard to realize that I have only three weeks before I have to start thinking about the food I eat.  I realize during transition it is pretty easy, because we still on in the product mode.  There is no going out, no unauthorized food, we are eating product plus a couple of hundred calories of protein and vegetables.  Seriously speaking finding food that is only 100-150 calories to eat for dinner is the challenge.  I scoured the internet looking for food that falls in that category.  I final found a place that has chicken kebabs that are 130 calories grilled with no oil and no soaking in something I am not suppose to eat.

The problem I have been having is finding those recipes that don't use oil to cook the food.  I can have oil, but that is like week 3 on transition or the last week, so all those recipes that call for oil I can't use in the beginning.    I am so not ready  to go off product.  But...

I am counting down the days until I can put something more substantial in my tummy.  I am so tired of product I could just put my head down and cry.  And when making T birthday dinner I wanted so much to lick my fingers.  Hey I am the one who wouldn't/couldn't eat the raisin.

I think last time I was at this same place.  Tired of the food waiting impatiently until I could eat real food, and dreading every minute of it.

The hard work is fast approaching and I think I still want to stay in the womb.

  1. We both know....the end is NOT near, only the beginning. The cooking part is not unattainable - just some lean protein weighed to 3 -4 ounces and steamed in broth...and veggies....I know you can do this!! Don't think too hard about it - "need and necessity are a similar condition where the difference between the two lies on the priority. A need is an absolute craving of a person to possess while the necessity is also a craving without which a person manages to survive." You're the boss applesauce (oooh, that sounds tasty ;) )....you decide what is a NEED and what is a NECESSITY. See you tonight!

  2. My fitness pal app really helps me stay on track, and it shows me when I am not on track. I mess up sometimes because I decide to mess up, but then I work harder the next day and everything goes back to normal. You'll be fine!!

  3. Since we're both going to be eating "delivered food" a few days a week, that may help. Both the prior comments are useful & insightful, so I am sure you'll survive - you have made this a priority.
