What a weekend... Went out of town to my hubby's family's in Dubois PA. Left Sat Am around 8 AM.. to arrive there around 11:30 AM. Not that this was BAD, but not much activity when your in a car for 3.5 hours.. going to a luncheon, and then sitting around bulls***ing isnt much ACTIVITY!

Well since I eat a mostly "protien" based meal.. I was prepared to eat my protien, and I took fruit as my "covered dish" so there would be SOMETHING healthy I could eat, or snack on if I got the munchies...... Well got the munchies wasnt even a QUESTION. They didnt have ANY protien based anything..... besides Sloppy joes.. I cant have the bread..... and it was made with groundbeef... the had a cabbage roll (sort of) dish... , ground beef, WHITE RICE, topped with shredded cabbage & thesauce.. ( BY THE WAY... GREAT IDEA since I HATE ROLLING CABBAGE ROLLS) but if I woul dhave made it, I would have had Brown rice, and ground sirloin & turkey...... Point being.. ALOT of proccessed CARBS that I ate which in turn made me hungrier.... Remember.. Im used to being hungry so I EAT! But with a protien based meals.. its curbs that hunger..... SO all of this boils down to.. I was on my rag... eating like a cow... feeling like CRAP.. Yet.. I was hungry so I ate! That is what Im used too......

Result.. GAINED 10 LBS..... Im sure SOME is water.. but how about my skin actually HURTS from being stretched....... Trust me I have the skin .... but it hasnt been stretched lately... so OUCH! my sides, my belly, my wrists, my under arms..... Im back to eating normal.. but man that feeling really SUCKS!

Just wanted to let everyone know so you all don't do what I have done! IT SUCKS!

Pass The Butter ... please.

> Margarine  was originally manufactured to fatte n  turkeys.  When it killed
the turkeys, the people who had put  all the money into the research wanted a
payback so they put their  heads together to figure out what to do with this
product to get  their money back.  It was a white substance with no food appeal 
so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of
butter.  How do you like it?   They have come out  with some clever new
flavorings.

grams.

same amount of butter, acc ording to a recent  Harvard  Medical Study.

foods.

INTERESTING!

> Margarine  is but ONE MOLECULE away  from being PLASTIC..

anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is  added,  changing the
molecular structure of th e  substance).

Within a couple of days you will note a couple of   things:

tell you som ething)
>
>  *  it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional  value;
nothing will grow on i t. Even those teeny weeny  microorganisms  will not a
find a home to grow.  Why?   Because it is nearly plastic.  Would you melt your
Tupperware and  spread that  on your toast?
