I got called back to work with my truck last Thursday.
Scheduled for Thursday and Friday only.
My Coleman Propane Camp Stove is broke so having already eaten Thursday(Bacon), I bought two Golden Plump Rotisserie Chickens to take along with me for Fridays eating.
No problem there, everything went as planned.
Then I got a call to continue working Saturday and then Sunday.
What to eat without a stove.
Saturday I stopped at McDonald's for breakfast.
I had six orders of scrambled eggs for $1.19 plus tax each.
About $7.50
I usually get the sausage patties too but I decided they were too much money and probably had a lot of carbs besides.
The eggs probably the same but I had to eat.
I'm getting tired of Spam as an emergency food.
Low Sodium or Regular.
I'm sick of Spam.
That leaves Walmart Delicatessen Sliced Beef and American or Swiss Cheese.
$10 for one pound beef and one half pound cheese.
I don't like eating cheese so I opted for McDonald's.
Trying to stay perfect because I had been doing so well.
So eggs only in the morning and then I got hungry about lunch time.
Something that never happens when I have my stove and meat only.
I stopped at a grocery store and looked at their spam and was going to buy two one pound rings of baloney when I spotted the cut up chicken pieces at the deli.
On sale and with a coupon both and looking great.
It looked as good as Kentucky Fried.
Usually it drier than that.
So I bought the sale deal and had her give two more thighs for the breasts.
So two legs, two wings and four thighs.
Big juicy great looking and great tasting chicken.
$5.55 after discounts.
Hog heaven except I knew they had been wallowed in flour before deep frying.
The same thing as wallowing in pure sugar.
I ate them without giving it a thought, thinking a now and then would work in an emergency.
They were great.
Down the road again.
I had bought a fresh gallon of spring drinking water to go with it.
Next round a few hours later and I am hungry again.
Something that never happens when I have my stove and eat a nice meal of steaks.
It is now Saturday.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
I stop again at another grocery store.
I buy three 12 ounce packages of Fun Dogs for $.99 each but not before looking at everything else quickly and becoming instantly overwhelmed and almost buying ice cream or candy or Little Debbie's Nutty Bars.
I knew I was in trouble.
I had progressed from Golden Plump Rotisserie Chicken's on Friday to this fiasco Saturday and Still had Sunday to go.
I narrowly escaped a binge but what was next.
I was relieved I had bought the wieners even though they are something like two carbs per serving.
Eight servings per package so about twenty carbs per package with the plus and sixty carbs or so for the three packages.
And I had damn near bought a gallon of ice cream and went whole hog.
What's going on here, I thought I was well again.
Sunday I get up and was almost going to buy that deep fried chicken again from the same store.
Instead I bought a twenty ounce Ambassador Salami for $5.49.
Zero carb's the nutrition label said.
That means less than one carb per serving.
I got off early from work yesterday afternoon (Sunday)about 4:00 PM and stopped and Coborn's Grocery on the way home to look at their meat and get some eggs for today. (Monday)
Bone in Rib Steaks with lots of fat were $6.99 a pound so I bought ten of them and had them packaged two to each package in butcher wrap.
1 1/4# or 20 ounce steaks each.
I broiled two of them when I got home for supper and froze the rest.
They were good, not great.
Had I not eaten all of that other crap they probably would have been great.
I had drank a lot of water and gained seven pounds from thursday night until sunday night.
And almost binged.
I remain alerted and on guard at all times.
The wink of an eye and I can become overwhelmed again.
One small slip up.
I don't live in fear but I know for sure how easy it is to let down.
Being hungry every day and eat a really good and satiating meal that tastes great and then being hungry at bedtime is where it is at for me.
I food tastes great, I lose weight, and I feel good all the time.
That's my schedule and I love it.
I sleep good then too and my mind and feelings and senses all work good.
No roller coasters.
I love it.
Have a great day.
Probably meat and eggs for breakfast.
Damn, it feels good having almost done it and NOT having done it.
The DANGER ZONE and WALKING ON THIN ICE has passed.
But only slightly.
Buyer beware.
Least the devil slip up on you.
Addictions are demons.
No doubt about it.
That's why it's so hard for everybody.
We can overcome them but we must remain vigilant to do so.
Our bodies and minds crave their fix.
We have to overcome that with our spirits but they are addicted too.
A real dilemma with anything but perseverance.
Have a great day.
