Re: I'm so annoyed at myself!!!

Morning JD,

Welcome back. This is my second time around too and better now that never, right.

So eggs.

This morning I got up and made me an egg, and took two bites and couldn't even swallow anymore (it all came back up - too much info, I know) I always have a hard time with gagging, and getting my food down the first week or two..I know it's all in my head..and it annoys the crap out of me.

Why can't I just eat and get it down?!

How do you make them. There are a million and one ways to cook an eye, maybe it's just the taste of it that makes you gag. I've been making a egg salad for my breakfast, 2 hb eggs mayo and little pepper for taste, you could even add some dill or dill pickle to make it a less eggy flavor.

Hang in there and you can overcome this and succeed, you already proven that once. Haven't you!

Have a great day.

Re: I'm so annoyed at myself!!!

You know, nobody has ever said you have to eat eggs for breakfast. In fact, that's an English thing that carried through to the colonies. The majority of the rest of the world wouldn't consider eating them the first thing in the morning. Eat whatever you want, as long as it's legal; but, there's certainly no reason to resort to raisin bread!

If you're serious that you want to lose that weight, and really care enough about yourself to make the effort, you have thousands of food choices that are appetizing and delicious to help you reach your goal. I take the time to properly prepare every meal I eat, making it as tasty and attractive as I know how, so that I enjoy mealtimes, not dread them.

This is the 176th time, huh? So, make it the last time -- the time that works!

We're all pulling for you. Now, you pull for you, too!

Re: I'm so annoyed at myself!!!

Good morning JD!
I started this WOE yesterday for the second time around. I didn't do too well the first. The first thing I did was comeback to this forum. Despite what my post numbers says I was here quite a bit my first time around. SO IMHO coming ehre is yours and my first step to success.
As far as the egg thing goes,I totally understand. I was in a car accident when I was in first grade. I was on a bike and was involved in a hit and run. I had had eggs for breakfast that morning so for the next two days in the hospital ,both whle conciopus and unconcious, all that came up was eggs. I have not been able to eat them since except hardboiled egg whites. However after I officially get up, I amon my way back to bed for a bit, I am going to try me an egg white ham and cheese omelette. I know it is all psychological for me and it has been 20 years since that car accident and I ought to get over it already!

You will be just fine though. Find something else to eat. Last time I tried this I found a recipe for Mock French Toast using Pork Rinds and boy boy was it good. You would have never known. In fact I fed it to my husband and he even ate it and he HATES pork rinds! So check out the recipes..... you could find something you'll really enjoy!

Good luck and I have total confidence in you this time around

Re: I'm so annoyed at myself!!!

Just to add a note about the mock French toast. If I remember, correctly, the recipe, itself, is legal (although you'll use up all of your allowed sweetners for the day); however, sugar free syrup is not. You can make a perfectly acceptable syrup, however, with melted butter, a little Splenda, and maple flavoring. It looks weird, but tastes like maple syrup. It's what I always use, because I avoid all products that contain sugar alcohols.

Re: I'm so annoyed at myself!!!

Thanks for clarifying chris, I have never used syrup in my life so I didn't even thinkabout that part. I always just loaded my french toast and pancakes up with butter!

Welcome back, jdbecker! I missed your beautiful little face!

Re: I'm so annoyed at myself!!!

Well I did it! I managed to get downalmost an entire ham and cheese omelette. I say almost because I wasn't that hungry to begin with s I just ate enough to get rid of the little bit of hunger. It's really amazing how water can curb your appetite,isn't it?

Oh well just figured I needed to be proudof myself, I haven'tt eaten cooked eggs in like 20 years! Next step hamburgers???? (I don't eat them either!!!)

Re: I'm so annoyed at myself!!!

I get an aversion to eggs every so often. I try cooking them differently every week. I do my meals a little weird. I prepare most everything on Sunday, including breakfast for three days so I make the eggs the same way. Every few weeks, though, I have to cut them out completely for awhile before I can tolerate them again.

Re: I'm so annoyed at myself!!!

Anless, good for you! You may soon find that your taste for things starts to change, and you'll even begin to like things that you used to hate. It happened for me with cauliflower. (I'm giving up on the Brussel sprouts, though!)

Have you tried them boiled then cut in quarters and saute'd in garlic butter?

I have to say that I haven't. Hmm, that could have potential!
