May 2, 2011 - The Broward General Hospital Nutritionist
Dr. Warman suggested that I needed to get on a new diet program.... I agreed!
What could a Nutritionist possibly teach me? What insight could help me change 54 years of bad habits and emotional eating baggage?
Not much!
Don't get me wrong....she was nice and really tried to help me. But I am an emotional eater. I understand the logic of a diet program...it's the compulsive destructive obsessive eating side that needs help...not the logically nutritional side! I intellectually understand about fat and calories....but when McDonalds contacts me through secret brain-wave communications...get outta the way! Must have Big Mac....Must have Big Mac..... Donuts....Donuts.....Milk Shakes......Pizza....Pizza....Pizza
But wait.... I really don't eat that much more than most mortals..... but a pound is 3500 calories...that's about 100 calories a day for a month..... So just eating (2) Oreo cookies a day more than I normally burn....I will gain 10-12 pounds every year.....in 10 years.....I will weight 100-120 pounds more than I should.....So all I need to do is make healthier choices....just tweak my life a little.
The nutritionist did show me one thing that was cool..... My food portions are way too big! When I eat Rice or Pasta meals..... I eat a lot more food than they serve in Italy and China.....
