The faster they lose, the faster they gain. I gained 4.2 lbs this week, and I definitely didn’t have 4.2 lbs of fun and food, believe me.
All I can say is, argh.
On the good side, I got my beans, and my bean cook book, and the Hungry Girl 200 Under 200 cookbook, and The End of Overeating.
So far, the bean cook book has inspired me to make beans, and to buy bacon. Given that I’m basically a vegetarian now, the bacon is a big deal. I bought “humanely raised” bacon, meaning I hope that the pig was reasonably well cared for, at least until they stuck it in the throat. The Hungry Girl book seems like it depends on some fairly freakish ingrediants, but has some good ideas.
I’m most interested by The End of Overeating, which discusses how food has been engineered to be addictive. I’ll write more as I read more.
Hope everyone had a better week than I did!
