Thank you, both of you! I was very irrational yesterday. Sorry!
God must have wanted me to publicly humble myself. I poured my heart out here and on one of my Sparkpeople teams. This morning I was down nearly two pounds. Just goes to show that sometimes you can get in your own way - and also goes to show that Dr. McDougall knows his stuff so we can trust in his process without overthinking it! I have only been at it seven weeks so am still learning.
I will still be taking the calorie density chart to heart and eating on the lower end. Jeff's calorie density lecture was very helpful. I will have to take advantage of the wealth of free videos and keep developing my McDougalling skills! I am usually a reader and not a watcher, but some stuff is too good to skip over.
Will still enjoy my beloved barley, but half as much, supplemented by sweet potatoes and things like corn and peas. I usually only eat two slices of bread a week and I'm okay with that. I thank everyone who helped support me during my meltdown!
Today's nutrition -
B - Carrot Larabar (not that great, won't buy it again)
L - We are going out to our favorite restaurant - having a salad with fresh spinach, apple, walnuts, red onion, yellow peppers, tofu added, and bringing some oil free dressing and two slices of compliant bread with me.
S - Sweet potatoes
D - A huge steamed acorn squash
