How does one eliminate fat from one's diet?
One eats oatmeal and blueberries for breakfast. No milk, no added sweetener.
One goes to the grocery store and loads up on fruits and veggies.
Here is a sample lunch plate. Cucumber and carrot medallions (doesn't that sound fancier? medallions instead of slices?) and yummy black grapes. Seriously delicious. By the way, this is a dessert size plate and I couldn't even eat half of what is on it.
Supper? Colorful pepper slices, delicious Brussel sprouts (That
thunk just heard? That was my brother passing out in shock that someone he is related to thinks Brussel sprouts are tasty. That boy could sit at the dinner table for hours after facing down one dreaded Brussel sprout. ~smile~) and a half a baked potato too heavily seasoned with Mrs. Dash's seasoning. Won't make that mistake again. I couldn't eat all of this either.
So far, I don't feel too deprived. I made a brief foray into the health food store yesterday and picked up some
Wasa crispbread (which really would taste like something if I could slather it with cream cheese) and an over-priced package of
Fig Newmans. The Fig Newmans are really good. Not chocolate, but still good.
Three days into the diet, I've not cheated nor been tempted to cheat. Still motivated. In five days I'll be with Jon and Kristi and the kids and in six, LORD willing, I'll be holding that new little granddaughter!
