Hi everyone. I usually hang out on the DS board, but I'm making a conscious effort to make the rounds to all the boards that will speak to issues specific to me. I'm a little more than 3 1/2 years out from my DS. I was switched on 2/25/2009.
I have a food question. I am a lover of greens. Collard, turnip, mustard, spinach, kale singularly or mixed. However, for me the most important thing is protein (this is where the smoked turkey tails and/or ham hocks come in!) And let's not forget the ho****er cornbread!
If you are a DSer who loves greens, have you had digestive distress after eating a meal of greens and cornbread? I'm aware of the carb issue with the cornbread, but i was taught that cornbread is a complex carb, not a simple carb, so I do not absorb 100% of it.
I felt a litttle more comfortable asking this question here, especially of the 'ol skool sisters and brothers *****member what Sunday Dinner...or any dinner... at Big Momma's house was like, and who also love our southern ethnic cuisine!
I would also be interested to hear from non-DSers who might have had to give up one or more of their favforite soul food dishes, if you can comfortably talk about it.

Hey Yall
Ok, so you wondering what the hell is Lee talking about her fat is on fire, well I mean that my legs are so sqooze together that when I walk they scrub together and bust into flames. LOL LOL LOL.
Ok, damit. all jokes aside here we go.
I have been fat smashing for almost a month now, actualy 4 days short of a month and the jeans that I wore on day one I wore today and I kept having to pull them up. Yes my fat ass had on jeans that I had to pull up. LOL. My goal for the next 3 weeks or my second cycle is to be in a new size jeans, a smaller size that is. I'm not going to tell you what size damit, i'm embarrassed enough so don't even ask. LOL.
But just know this EFS is working for me this time just as it did before I left on summer vacation and i'm working with it. Yes I still work out, yes I still lift weight, yes I still keep trying even though I feel like a big loser, but if I keep it up I will be a big loser again.
Yall keep trying. If you skinny forget you, (yall know I hate skinny girls, ok damit I don't hate them i'm just jealous of them) If you fat keep trying, If you gained keep trying. So here is the message, KEEP TRYING !
