I'd rather be....

Diana says>>>The beauty of this diet is that you are allowed one serving of any sweet you want.

Awh, can you imagine what one serving of Diana might be like? Sweet, sweet, sweet Lol

You people sound like your having fun...all the more to ya!  I am thinking along those lines, time to take off what was gained over the last six months.

The diet sounds an lot like what my RN Great Aunt told me the way to live.. last time I saw her.. She said fresh fruit(she liked papaya) in the morning with an homemade phyilo dough and non-fat whip cream  eclair maybe once an week and coffee...the rest of the time, Orange juice in blender, one raw egg white, one tablespoon wheat germ, one banana and give it an whirl. Salad for lunch,,roll....small amount of meat (preferably fish or chicken) and steamed veggie for dinner.She was in her late 70's and the way she "lived". She had an lot of functions she went to as Grand Worthy Matron of the Eastern Star and she had to keep her weight down for all the evening gowns she had to wear during the functions she attended..so this is her own personal weight plan she made to live by.  She could literally make her breakfast ahead of time and take it with her if necessary...and most weekends people expected her to eat something besides her orange juice specialy drink. She said if you took half an papaya and an few kiwi slices and fresh strawberries with the eclair, it looked like an very elegant breakfast also to others. It kept her from the hearty hash browns, meat and grease stuff you'd find in most resruants.From them, she ordered her "coffee"...if she were in an crowd. At night she most the time only ordered an entre to eat...as she said the better restruants usually charged extra to add on an salad in California, up here they ussually think it should come with the meal. She told me that she was not without occasionally eating more, but she never let her weight get more then 5 pounds heavier before she did something about it. She did very little drinking of spirits also. Walking and world traveling were her main excerises.Her favorite "collection" was her Irish Belek (china). She lived very simply.

Now as ot our "Diana" she needs her own desert....Diana's Gigglesnort....with Rum sauce?  Fruit cake made into an bread pudding perhaps? Something chocolate with caramel oozing in it? Wonder what she would suggest it to be.

Richard, what would turn you on...in eating that is. LOL.
