Over My Calories By 916

Hijack...I bet Richard Parker loves deer!!!

Julia -

RP has not had it yet but I'm sure he would love it !! I did have about 1.5 ounces of salmon for dinner tonight , I'm slowly adding in more foods. To be honest I just think I'm a little scared that I will hurt RP. I'm craving eggplant terribly may have to have some this weekend !

OMG! Eggplant. I keep wanting to and chickening out...

This from the girl who can stomach her hubby's WLS friendly chateaubriand, bay scallops, and shrimp with WLS friendly hollandaise sauce.

I'm just nervous about eggplant and some of the foods I love like Japanese, Indian, or Persian.

Ok of have to post the recipes for those. I had no problem with Asian or Indian foods. 

It was the amount of fat in some of the Indian food. I need a certain amount in my day but I try to space it out...

Curry beef, or butter chicken in your list of foods by chance? I know I am SOL for my meat samosas. *sigh*

Japanese is going to be a must do. My daughter got her own sushi plates for Valentines. It has always been our thing so I am going to show her I still can. Even if not going to the all you can eat places.

Chinese I've done, and done well... It was a near perfect experience.

I eat a lot of Thai and Vietnamese. Both have some decent options. Sushi I stick to sashimi and edamame. 

Very cool!

Hi Keith!

I was going to PM you...but I'm putting this out here in public...even though many I respect have responded differently than I'm about to...I have to tell you out loud:

You and I have been here for the same amt of time (9/11 for me)...And  since then there are 4 people I search for and read their posts regularly. You my friend are one of them.

Because you're "right" ? Because you're "wrong"? Who am I to judge. For ME...I get a lot from your posts.

I read your post...before I even saw how many people responded...before I saw this was 4 pages long. I read your first entry on this post, and I smiled for you. WHY? Heck...I read similar posts, roll my eyes, and log off... or yell at my laptop at the poster...and THEN log off. Why did I smile when I read it from you? I guess because I think I know you from chatting over these 5 months. Knowing how you feel about where you've been, where you're headed, and how hard you're working to get there. You know yourself and what works for KEITH. Will it work for anyone else...who knows.

I was happy for you because I guess I felt that you were happy. You were sharing and holding yourself accountable for you. You have no control over what others read into it...or how others interpret it.

I know what's right for ME...and I try to be supportive all over this board. If I disagree, or want to educate someone...I try to do it in a way that helps...but I'd be lying if I said that many posts frustrate me...and I ask myself " why the heck did you have the surgery if you're just gonna mess it all up??!!" I don't feel that way with you or your post.

I guess I just wanted you to know that. Maybe I'm "wrong", maybe I'm "right"...who cares.

You know you've got this. I'm not worried ( not that it should matter)

Peace Keith!

Thank you. Looks like you are doing quite well. I think you are one of the few who took this post in the spirit in which it was intended. I am glad you like my posts. I have a few fans but clearly far more haters than fans.
