Yes I’m doing a Mary’s mini. I really enjoy doing them. I use rice as my starch and I do a stir fry most days. Sometimes it will be Asian, sometimes Korean baroque spice, salsa, with lots of zucchini, onion, garlic, cabbage, green, red, yellow, orange peppers, mushrooms, so I try and vary the spice pallet from Mexican to Asian to Italian. So happy with this plan. I find it so easy to transition into while food plant based

I found some freedom by not worrying about taste. If I make something and it's blah, I put something like a little sea salt on it, or a squirt of lemon, hot sauce, etc. to dress it up a bit and eat it anyway. I think we get too wrapped up in taste. I am working on eating to live, not living to eat. Industry has trained us to "crave that taste" whether it's for processed food or our own food. As long as the food doesn't repel me, I eat it. Once I am full, it's history anyway. Recipes and planning our shopping, cooking, tasting, seasoning, etc. takes up too much of my head space. I am learning, like Jessica, to just throw some things together and hope it's at least edible. Sometimes it's a pleasant surprise. Or I keep it simple with a fruit and maybe some noodles with vegetables in it.

My husband and I did the Mary's Mini - we are on the last day too. My husband lost 12 pounds and I lost 8 pounds. We bought a Breville air fryer and a Griddler, which helped us a lot in preparing the potatoes and vegetables. We mixed ketchup and mustard together to make a salad dressing. I am looking forward to having an apple tomorrow! LOL!

@@KrocksInTheKitchen HEY, I can give you an AWESOME analogy to go along with that. Imagine yourself inside of a balloon. It is easy to say, I will just stretch the line a little today, and then I will bounce back and stay on track...but every time you do that the balloon becomes a little more stretched. Eventually the elasticity of the balloon has given way and you can go further and further -- without feeling like you are pushing it. UNTIL... the balloon is so damaged it pops and everything is out of control. That is what happens when we have 'stretchy' boundaries. It is my worst problem.

I learned about this concept that some people are abstainers (all or nothing) and some are moderators (can have a little then stop) and may switch depending on the situation. Gretchen Rubin talks about this in her books on happiness. I'm definitely an "all or nothing" type when it comes to most foods! So I can certainly relate. :)

@megan2176 4 жыл бұрын

Gretchen Rubin talks a lot about what Mary mentioned - where some of us are good at completely doing without, and "depriving" ourselves, and she calls those people "Abstainers". "Moderators" are those who can have a bit of a treat, and then eat sensibly the rest of the time. Someone (like my husband) who can keep a chocolate bar in the cupboard for months (!!) and have a nibble now and then is a Moderator. I think I could be an Abstainer if I really tried - I do well during Lent, when I'm committed during a set period of time to not having this or that. :)

Once the initial pain that prompts a change your lifestyle has subsided, it's much harder to stay focused without the sharp point of discomfort prodding you along. The "Moderation in everything" and "Oh, a little bit won't hurt" are messages you'll hear from other people and even tell yourself, but the reality is both of those are slippery slopes. I'm working to get back on my WFPB adventure after a couple of planned outings this weekend, and it's so encouraging to see your struggles and successes on this adventure. Thanks so much for sharing and your transparency. God bless you both!

I actually thought of you both yesterday when I was listening to Ray & Penn discuss the circadian rhythms, moderation factor & of course the PB. Their work with Dr. Klapper is extremely interesting as well. You would be perfect for TrueNorth sometime in the future. You also remind me of Julianna & Ray with your subjective/objective perspectives & when you speak to that it covers the entire dynamic so beautifully. Ultimately, knowing the why, making that the key motivator, moving consistently toward health at every opportunity & not necessarily running away from fat/weight will reap the best life. The weight loss will start to become a natural side effect of living a life of loving yourself as evidenced by your daily decisions & not a main focus for anyone.

I’m doing the potato mini for 14 days, on day 12! I have had ups and downs but I cannot wait until my final weigh in on Friday morning! And I agree.. I am sooo looking forward to that first banana!

My theory about dealing with the "hard line" vs "the soft' is that the hard line is easier because a person's pallet DOES NOT get excited by flavors and tastes. In other words, the flavors and tastes do a real number on us---weakening our resolve. That's why I keep my diet very simple when wanting to lose weight. Actually, it helps me in that it can be soothing when I drink something special, like coffee, to accompany it sometimes. IDK, that's how I handle it.
