Ick, Blah, gross disscusting....
ok..I'm over it...however tonight i was TRYING to be that good "healthy" lifestyle girl I know I should be...however I literally (no exaggerating) was gagging on the veggies... i tried to do the good thing I bought frozen veggies (cauliflower, broccaoli, carrots) put some seasoning on them, put them in the microwave (for the amount of time recommended) and attempted to eat them with my meatloaf... DH was havbing tattertots and I was going to have these freekin veggies... THey seemed to cool down faster then the meatloaf and just the smell of the caluiflower was making me ill... Soo.... I cried a little/had a mini tantrum (had bad day at work) then had some salad instead...
perhaps I should eat them raw? I don't knwo what was wrong but man that was bad!!
in other news I put some more pics on my other blog... if your interested.... it also is where I'm trying to figure out why pictures are so different/unflattering...
anyways have a GREAT WEEK

Fat Prison- seen on a couple different websites-
I want to tell you about a very unusual sort of prison. It's called Fat Prison. Why is it so unusual? Because it's completely voluntary.
No one sends us to Fat Prison, we send ourselves!
What's it like to be a fat prisoner? The rules are very strict. To begin with, each prisoner must wear regulation uniform. This consists of a baggy skirt or elasticated pants. Most prisoners pretend they don't mind walking around in this shapeless uniform, but secretly they hate it. They'd much rather walk down the street in a slim pair of jeans.
Exercise is strictly controlled Swimming or playing with children is forbidden. And no prisoner may walk more than a few yards at a time. The penalties for breaking this rule include sweating, shortness of breath, soreness and fatigue. After a few years without any sort of proper exercise, prisoners become so soft that the very idea of movement terrifies them. If you don't believe me, go up to a fat prisoner and suggest a nice long walk in the fresh air!
Everyday life The main feature of everyday life inside Fat Prison is tiredness. Prisoners carry lots of extra weight around on their bodies, so not surprisingly they suffer from chronic fatigue. Result? After doing their daily chores, most of them slump down exhausted in front of the TV.
Even when they allow themselves a night out, many prisoners find it difficult to enjoy themselves. They feel awkward about their shape so instead of mixing with other people they tend to sit in the corner with other fat prisoners.
Prison Mentality After many years of locking themselves away inside their Fat Prison, many prisoners develop a prison mentality. They lose confidence in themselves and their ability to "go straight". They look at slim people and think: "I'm never going to be like them!" They think they are doomed to stay in Fat Prison, forever. Result? They let themselves go completely.
Bad for Health Fat Prison is very bad for prisoners health. Don't forget, the greater our weight, the greater the strain on our joints and spine. And the fatter we grow, the harder our heart has to work to keep us going. No wonder so many fat prisoners get ill!
Depressing Fat Prison is a depressing experience, not only for the prisoners but also for their families. In fact, the children of fat prisoners often grow up to become prisoners themselves. It's a vicious cycle.
Question So why do so many people end up in Fat Prison? And even more important, why don't they leave once they discover how awful it is?
Answer Because they prefer to eat cookies, chocolate, potato chips, popcorn, doughnuts, fatty meat and creamy desserts. They know that this stuff makes them fat but they don't care. They'd rather go to prison than give up their regular mouthful of fat. *Some may have other reasons
Are you a fat prisoner? Have you locked yourself up in your own private Fat Prison? If so, here's some advice. Don't waste another day of your life in jail. Get out now!
All you have to do is stop eating junk and start eating properly and you can walk free tomorrow.
It may take a few months before your weight returns to normal, but your tiredness will lift immediately and within a week you'll feel ten times better. So what are you waiting for?Get out of your Fat Prison today and start really living!

Me 'n' veggies have a love hate relationship. Sometimes I love'em. Sometime I hate'em. Sometimes I get all my veggies in, somedays none. And I HATE frozen mixed veggies. I usually take fresh and cook or steam them. Peas or corn are okay...but yuck to almost anything else.
Okay, I'm going to check out your pictures now.
I'm not particularly fond of cooked veggies, either. I like cooked asparagus, green beans, carrots, corn, and broccoli. That's about it. I much prefer a good, healthy salad!
Raw is better for you anyway! I don't like cooked veggies either, apart from green beans, corn, butternut and asparagus. We eat salad every day!
I feel your pain... I gag on vegies too... they are nasty little things.
I find that they are nearly edible when stirfried (not cooked, not raw)... the garlic them yummier too.
I go hot and cold with veggies one week I can choke em back the next I am like get away.
I make a broccoli and cauliflower raw salad. Chop up broccoli and cauliflower with a red pepper season with a little olive oil, vinegar, and garlic salt to taste and let it chill. It's yummy and crazy healthy. Plus it can sit for days and it just gets better.
Try stir frying them in soy sauce (watch the sodium though!) or raw... sometimes that's the only way I can do it if I"m sick of them. And I ALWAYS use Becel Spray on them if they're just plain cooked. Makes them go down so much easier.
Your pics are great! YOu can REALLY tell a difference! Honestly! Even the one that you dont' like, there is still a MAJOR diff from your Pre pic. Trust in yourself; you look AWESOME!
I hate frozen veggies, so I'm with you here!!!
veggies are definitely a hard thing for me. I am one of those people that doesnt really like salad! lettuce is not appealing to me.
I think you just have to find the right veggies for you or find how to prepare them in a way that you like. if you like the frozen veggies for convenience, I recommend green giants broccoli and carrots in italian seasoning singles. they are portioned out well and I think they actually taste pretty good. or try cooking with veggies in something so you are just eating a pile of veggies as a side. I made a tasty tuna dish a few weeks ago that had broccoli crowns in it and you hardly really noticed that broccoli was in it. dont wory, you will find something that works for you.
Raw is great. I often eat red peppers or cuccumbers. i just slice them and eat them with my meal.
I'm not a huge veggie person either but being on WW has made me get used to them more and now I actually crave them. I don't eat a lot in terms of variety though. Shop around and try new ones to see what you actually like. I am NOT a fan of frozen veggies but will eat some canned ones. I think the trick is finding fun ways to cook them. I LOVE making zucchini and squash fries and also breaded cauliflower. Check out Roni's greenlitebites.com for some great recipes. Oh, I also have a squash mac n cheese recipe that we just made that I will be posting tonight or tomorrow.
Good luck and I hope you find some that you like soon!
I'm anti-cooked veggie, too! But I'll eat almost all of them raw. For one thing, on those bad work days, a girl can get a lot of stress out through crunching. :)
I can't do frozen veggies cooked, they seem so watered down. I only eat fresh vegetables, preferably steamed. Those new steamer bags (I believe Ziploc makes them) where you shove fresh veggies in and cook them in the microwave. Easy, quick, and you don't lose the nutrients!
