Ritual Burning of the Temptations!!!

[windwalker]

Yesterday I made a decision to get serious about dropping that 17 lbs I've managed to add.

To start this adventure I'm doing a ritual buring of the things that have been my fitness downfall. I have started a super hot vertual bon-fire and it's time to throw the temptations to the fire, so when I go to the market I won't HAVE to buy them.

First on the fire: Ben and Jerry's cherries Garcia. (tossing the vile poison to the flames)

Now for the dry roasted nuts, a cup full at a time they violated my best intentions. (tossing the vile poison to the cleansing flame)

Last the hot pockets, for when I craved fat and grease. (To the fire with you vile poison)


Would anyone else like to throw a temptation on my cleansing fire. Be warned that once you do you won't be enslaved to it any more.

I am tossing white food on top of your virtual bon fire, Dave. First on, refined sugar, and then pasta, white rice, white flour and all products made with it, potatoes, and finally I am adding my beloved hot rolls, bread, cinammon rolls, pancakes, waffles and biscuits.

Shoot, that was one hot fire, Dave. I didn't save anything.....I was hoping to fetch potatoes back off that fire, but nooooooo-oooooooo. You made it too big and too hot. I guess I will just live without syndrome X and Type II Diabetes.

If I throw on my Pepsi will it put out the fire?

I was able to save some of the potatoes for you. Plain baked potatoes with a little pepper and a little hot sauce or BBQ sauce.

Naw the fire is hot with the desire to break the chains of addiction. It can consume them all, but you have to mean it. "How bad do you want it".

Here's some more items, Dave! Real pitfalls for me.

Cheese dip and chips.

Egg Rolls.

Big restaurant-size portions.

Late night snacks.

Eating mindlessly while on the computer.

Cheese dip and chips.

Fried foods (southern favorite)

Cheese dip and chips.

Wow! Look at those flames now.

Thanks for the reminder the Mexican Restraunt Chips and salsa, only one basket for Erica and I.

Yes I live in the South and there are several Restraunts that serve nothing that's not fried. I love catfish, with fries, coleslaw and hush puppies but I get my fish blackened with a plain baked potato and steamed veggies at Red Lobster.

Susie I had to back away from the fire a bit, wheeee, that cheese dip is some potent stuff!

"Back in the day" sugar was a big component of solid rocket fuel, so I'll just toss sugar on it. It's my drug of choice.............

Jim, I'm like an addict to sugar, I avoid it but there ain't nothing better than a big hand full of chocolate chip cookies.

Can I toss my Mother on there?

Just kidding - I love my Mom. She is 82 years old and lives with me. But she's been a cook all her life, with a specialty of baking. When she's home all day and gets bored, she bakes. So I come home from work and there may be 2, 3 or 4 cakes and pies.

What's a person to do?

I take some into work, try to give some to my sister and her family. I just can't get rid of it fast enough. Plus, I LOVE my Mom's cooking.

Terri, I feel your pain. My mom loved to cook also. Unfortunately being a southern woman lots of stuff was fried. I love fried stuff but had to give it up. A plate of fried potatoes, fried pork chops and black eyed peas with corn bread is hard to beat in the taste department. Wonder why 60% of the people in my state are overweight. The Red Neck beer gut is alive and well in Southern Ky.

I've never been a big snacker, but I sure do enjoy a glass of wine or a beer after the kids go to bed. Nothing quite like empty calories at bed time


POOFFFF! Now we a have flambe' bonfire!

Frosted Cherry Pop Tarts. May those crunchy little sugar sprinkles writhe in agony as they go up in smoke!

Edited to add that I'm glad you weren't burning the old singing group the Temptations because I really like them!

Can I toss on some take-out Chinese food? I really miss my crab rangoon and pork fried rice with lots of high sodium, sugary chicken dishes.
