Divided By Zero's Journal, 13 August 2009

Riddle me this, Batmans...

Why did I wake up at exactly my goal weight (185.00) today? Yesterday I ate a huge breakfast, then had a second breakfast when a coworker brought bean & cheese tamales to work. Then I just said "f*** it" and went to Burger King for lunch to get a veggie burger, fries, and a HFCS loaded soda. Before I left work I ate some more bean and cheese tamales to top off the tank. I went to karate class, but we had a new student so we went a little easier than normal. After class I ate again (CLIF Builder's Bar) at 9:45 PM. I wanted to get some reading in so I stayed up later than normal trying to finish "Born to Run", so I didn't get as much sleep as I needed.

I basically did everything wrong. Maybe the BK Veggie has magical powers or something. I dunno. It hurts my brain to think about it too much.

I hereby pronounce the BK Veggie Lord and Master of fake burgers.

I've had the same experience a few times. I eat more than my calorie count and lo! I lose weight. I've decided it is simply the magic of saying "The Hell with it!". Congrats on hitting your goal weight!

you brat. ok, fine CONGRATS ON YOUR GOAL WEIGHT! I just may go out to search for those meals today. Im desperate. Never heard of a bean and cheese tamale... but I think the real answer here is.... YOU LOSE WHEN YOU EAT! you shocked your system w/ some greasy tamales (its a given, they have to be greasy if they are good right) and then the sUpposedly healthy veggie burger... haha! idk. my brains starting to throb... sooooo... are those burgers any good??

You suck for this phenomenon. I no longer believe you're human.

I know why, I know why!!! You tricked your body. Your body is used to you eating right, eating low, so it burns what it needs to. But when you ate more than your usual, your metabolism was kicked into high gear and started burning up all the extra fuel. Your body had an "Oh crap! Gotta get to work!" moment. And now it's STILL burning, so it's thinking you're going to eat that way again today. So, keep it low, and I think you will be fine, or maybe even LOWER tomorrow. I just journaled about this yesterday!! Great job!!! Congrats on the goal weight!!!

P.S.2 (get it?!) What a nerd I am. Anyway, tell me more about these bean and cheese tamales. As a Mexican, I am so intrigued.

You guys have never had bean and cheese tamales!?! Holy crap, they are better than any other kind. Now that I'm a vegetarian it's the only kind I can eat, but the meat-eaters in the office don't even care about the chicken or pork, they go straight for the bean and cheese. They're awesome. It's basically just refried beans and a white cheese, but I've never asked what's all in 'em.

Woo hoo, that's great! Isn't it ironic though the way it happened? That's gotta be frustrating.

@Cindy: The fakeburger was pretty good for fast food, but the frozen kind I prepare at home are much better.

Are you vegan? I'm pretty sure I know what kind of cheese it is that's used. I'm going to tell my mom to make some next time we make them. Mmm... My mom makes cheese tamales. All those have are mole and a piece of cheese (either monterey jack or cheddar) and they are phenomenal. I prefer those to the meat ones, too.

Nope... I still eat dairy/eggs so I'm not a vegan.

idk about fakeburgers yet. and tamales... i'm wishing for the holidays to hurry now... only time of year i eat/make them. :D I prefer our cheese w/ green chile over the meat ones too now. beans and cheese? now thats going to be damaging or NOT! :) will have to try them!

Okay, that's what I thought. I read you were vegetarian (I'm sure you would have said vegan if you were) but was just wondering because most tamales are made with lard. Mmm...lard. LOL. 
13 Aug 09 by member: FakePlasticLala
LOL I know. I always have to question the places I get them to see if they use lard (don't eat 'em) or oil (WOOHOO!). 
13 Aug 09 by member: Divided By Zero
Yeah I was telling Cindy my mom made them with oil once. No bueno. Lard rules when it comes to tamales. Haha this is sooooo not FS talk. 
13 Aug 09 by member: FakePlasticLala
So that's good you can find good ones made with oil.

I didn't even start eating tamales until a couple of years ago (I know... blasphemy), so I'm fairly sure I've never had a lard tamale. LOL I guess I got lucky that I don't know what I'm missing.

I remember the big "OOOH" flour tortillas now made w/ oil! lol some claim to make there tamales and refried beans with oil too... just be aware.. be VERY AWARE! im drooling! thanks.

Congrats on getting to your weight loss goal and I saw in this grocery store vegetarian eggs. Maybe worth checking and once again congrats and remember like Frank Sinatra sang you did you way and the right way. Cheers.
