BuffyBear's Journal, 07 May 2012

Happy Monday!

I changed my lifestyle to "Sedentary" so was able to re-set my RDI for calories to 1400. Maybe that will help me remind me to keep those calories at bay. BTW - does anyone know why FS calls it RDI instead of RDA?

I finally got a better idea of low cal/low carb foods and have packed my lunches accordingly. I had become so accustomed to those rich cream and cheese sauces allowed during induction. Oh well - fitting into those size 10's will be worth it!

It is Recommended Daily Intake. I think it is like a lot of things, different sites call the same thing something else based on preference. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's my thinking. Good luck on the size 10's!! You can do it!

Good idea Buffy. It annoys me when my numbers are high and it turns red. Maybe that will be enough to keep you on track staying under 100%.

Don't worry....those creams and sauces will become a mainstay again in Maintenance. Have a great, low cal/low carb week!

Karen - it is sad when I have to play mind games with myself in order to make myself behave! Congratulations again on your weigh in!!!

Sandy - Thanks and same to you. In the summer I'm happy with raw veggies, but when it is cold, damp and dreary those sauces act like "comfort food".

LOL...mind games indeed, that is funny, what we do to motivate ourselves, as long as something does...that's the ticket!

GG - Not only do I do mind games - I punish and reward myself too!

Bren - I do feel badly for you not being able to eat the foods that help you lose weight. I always buy seedless cucumbers for DH too. But his problem is indigestion.

Buffy, it sounds like you're doing great, figuring out the food thing. Have a great day.
