Im cleaning my eating up.


I've gone 2 years with bad dieting. I used to weigh 310 lbs and I got all the way down to 235...

Well im starting to creep back up in the 270's and it's just not for me.

Food isn't worth it and every meal doesn't need to be treated like my last.


Whats sad is I work out 4 days a week and still managed to put on 35 lb's in 2 years.

Well thats over starting yesterday.

As your new years resolution, you need to do like this woman I saw at the grocery store. Her entire grocery cart was filled with like thirty boxes of frozen broccoli. Thats it. Nothing else. :laugh2:

What the hell is wrong with these people. How can they eat like that. I understand wanting to be skinny and such, but to treat yourself like that is just plain wrong.

Some people eat like that and not for diet reasons.

My wife goes on crazy binges where she might just eat mainly yogurt for months.
Another time it might be cereal.
There might be an occasional meal during these times but she gets these spells where she just eats mainly one type of thing for a period of time.

I don't know how she does it, I just could not eat the same thing for a meal (not counting breakfast) over and over like that.

Heck I had to do various forms of chicken for a week in the army once and did not eat any form of chicken for about a year after that.

But I know the wife would go and buy like all of a specific type of yogurt on the shelf at the store.

Crazy stuff.

Spend more time with my mom, and have dinner with her at least once every 2 weeks.

Get roller blades/skates, and then "walk" my dog minimum 3 times a week for 20-30 minutes of intense roller blading/skating.

Don't get tempted to feed my dog treats or table scraps no matter what kind of manipulative strategies he employs. He needs to lose 15 lbs

1. I've been single for a couple years now. Time to look for another ball and chain.

2. Break out the P90X DVD's. Offseason is the time to do it.

3. Continue my career in the NFL (not a player, obviously).

Dude I love broccoli. I'm not just trolling you either, lol...there have been nights where I just couldn't decide on dinner, so I'd pop in a bag of steamfresh broccoli in the microwave and chow down with a little salt and black pepper sprinkled, nothing else.

I also have a weird love of peas. But only the Le Seur Very Young Sweet Peas in the silver can with red writing.

Haven't had another brand of peas since I tried those!

I'm totally on board with the veggie meals, too. I was really in the mood for a bunch of veggies the other night when we were snowed in. :p:

A couple of years ago, I had gotten up to 320 pounds or so. A few months ago, I had gotten down to 220. Now, I'm back up to 230. I need to drop another 30 pounds or so and actually exercise. That's the plan at least.

I still don't drink soda, but that's about the only thing I haven't gotten back into the habit of consuming. :(

I could stomach broccoli. My downfall all my life has been bitter melons. My parents love that stuff, and they'd make a pot of it stuffed with ground pork.

maybe a daft question but have you tried it steamed? couple of florets steamed with chili flakes and a knob of butter melting over it is a bonus in any meal

Yeah... The only way I can stand it is if it's stir fried with other veggies and some chicken and I still cringe.

Switch two and three?

They aren't in order but I love that you're worried about two and three when 1 is about gaining weight. :laugh2:
