Out of control part 2

 

I read a post with a recipe for sandwiches made with Tapioca Flour. I had no idea it existed.

Thank you Xena Purrsuit of Flavors: GF Muffins for Sandwiches | Xena Schnauzer Warrior Princess and Lucy (wordpress.com)

I rushed to the health food store, purchased the flour and other items seen yesterday. Any thing that would make me think i am eating Bread but has no white flour.

I bought without PLANNING, and ended up with all the crackers have flax and so does the made fresh in store almond butter. 

You can guess what that did!

The small jar is Yoders Homemade Apple Butter, no sugar added and only 10 calories per spoon.

This Apple Butter is saving my life by giving me low cal, sugar free Good taste.

My food plan 1240 calories per day and I Eat 3 meals, 2 snacks a day.

Fruits, veggies, salads, hummus 

lactaid cottage cheese and milk.

Please tell me protein ideas that are not meat, eggs, protein drinks

I struggle with meat, and

Eggs gag me unless they are drowned in catsup, or covered with cheese OR wrapped in BREAD

Any ideas on how to hide eggs will be appreciated.

I am Lactose Intolerant oy vey and must be gluten intolerant also.

Whte flour aggravates my IBS this does not

After reading the Calorie content of the muffins, 295 each, and I only eat 1250 calories a day. I tried to think of something I love that I use white flour.

Daddy's hoe cake came to mind. Flour, egg, milk, oil and fry in fry pan. I love one for breakfast.

It is like cornbread consistence but made with flour.

Daddy made a big one for all of us, but I make a one person one.

I decide to make one using the new flour

I used 1/4 cup Tapioca flour, 1 egg, pinch of salt, olive oil and Milk to right consistency

whipped it together in a bowl, sprayed my little pan and it made two of these about the consistence of a crepe.

I did not realize the open one was blurred and I ate it. ha ha

I spread peanut butter and apple butter inside and folded over.

LOVED IT.

Any thing that goes in a crepe will work. also made one with cheese. yum.

It turns out 2 of these with filling is 300 to 350 calories which is what have for breakfast.

ideas are limitless.

and

1. It’s Gluten-Free, Grain-Free and Nut-Free

2. Low in Calories, Sugar and Fat

It did NOT make me crave more flour or any other food. I can now have my flour and eat it too..

Of course NOT every meal. I made mine one crispy one not. loved it both ways. 

I am on a search for protein options, if you have any to share.

OUT of Control ME

 

I am here to confess that I have gained 13 pounds since March 15, 2020

If you count the up/down 3 lbs each month, I can't tell you how much I gained.

See that Jelly/Jam Toast waving at you? Add Peanut Butter and that is my favorite breakfast.

That is OK on my food plan, as long as I do it ONLY for breakfast

I scoffed bread daily, several times daily. Fries  and burgers and pizza were weekly.

On June 1st 

I made the decision to return to my Food Plan that I followed for 4 years.

I gave up white flour until I get back where I was.

4 years ago I gave up sugar and have not eaten any for 4 years 6 months

Bread is another story.

BREAD turns to sugar. 

I have a sugar/white flour addiction.

 If I eat it I want more. It also makes me crave other foods.

 I get out of control.

Above photos taken June 1st for documentary purposes. 

I am addicted to sugar and white flour, I am a carbaholic!

 It is very hard for me to eat meat. Unless is is burger buried in bread.

 Or salty Ham on a sandwich. 

Sausage on biscuit.

I just find it difficult to eat meat.

I eat meat, fruits, veggies but meat and veggies have to be coated in something unhealthy for me to eat them.

Purchases above are 

Tapioca Flour,

almond butter with flax, apple butter unsweetened

Raw Sunflower seeds, raw walnuts, 

3 types of Protein Crackers that are free of white flour, 

made with brown  rice, nuts and whole grains.

I am going to see which ones work best.

Here is a link with my journey in pictures to where I am now. I do not want to go back to this

I am hoping journaling this for all to see, seeking accountability will help me lose these13 lbs.

 I lost 64 in a 2017 and stayed with in 3 lbs, until the pandemic happened and here I am because  once the good eating habit is broken it is hard to start it again.

My struggle To be continued  tomorrow
