So, it has apparently taken me this long to realize that I have this problem...

[Henne Given Sunday]

Eff it... I'm done... If I can't eat something healthy, I'm just not going to eat... that list is absurd...

would i be a dick if i gave you "pie" right now?

[Darth Urious]

you obviously care because you're making this thread. but the only thing that can change is u. it seems like your wife doesnt give a shiit either no offense.

She does, but I think I have resisted it enough she doesn't even try anymore...

A lot of the problem is that I am too lazy... I love cooking, actually, but often consider it too much of a hassle, and I dread the cleanup... lol

Maybe that is what I should do... get into some kind of cooking thing where I make everything I eat from scratch, and with better ingredients...

[Darth Urious]

I just realized something I left off my list...

Candy... FML.............................................

[CLTPanther]

And don't fry it. If you have a deep fryer, throw the mfer away.

one thing that helped me during my massive weightloss and life changes was cooking myself. i got into it. i really enjoy grilling, and thinking of different ways to flavor meats* instead of mayo and other crap. i love my fresh spices, peppers, onions, things i never used to eat, cause i THOUGHT i didnt like em' but i never gave em' a chance honestly. i went from 293 lardass to a heatlthy 216 now, and im still losing.

i love cooking, my wife is happier, she can wrap her legs around me again, and my 3 year old son is getting to enjoy good healthy home cooked meals from which he wouldnt normally be given the chance to enjoy

* = thats what she said

I don't have a deep fryer, but I do have a food dehydrator... one that I got last Xmas (a huge one, btw) that I have YET to use... Talk about a testament to my laziness... I have something that will actually help me make some healthy food, and let it collect dust...

Damn man you sounded just like I am... I'm approaching 300, but need to badly change it up...

bro i stood on the scale and saw 293 and i said fug THAT NOISE. i didnt gain another pound. im not dying because im a lazy fug. and to be honest, i havent really worked out that much. i still eat good food, just smaller portions of it.

but dont go into it expecting a quick 1 week or 2 month diet. this has to be a LIFESTYLE CHANGE. i drink water daily, enjoy cooking smaller portions, and enjoy experimenting with different foods and spices. humans arent SUPPOSED to be 300 pounds.

Just make a change man. take control.

[CLTPanther]

Learn to love grilling.

[Henne Given Sunday]

grilling is awesome, have a beer (light beer lol) and enjoy making food, cooking it yourself. be a man! hell yes! man food! steaks, and grilled chicken, and all the good poo.

I have always considered myself a very picky eater. It is a running joke among a lot of my friends and family that I'm the "chicken tenders and fries" type of guy, regardless of what restaurant we're going to...

The thread about working out before work got me thinking, especially with how bad I have been feeling physically as of late, that I need to start eating a lot better and being a lot more active...

Growing up, and even still, I am allergic to a lot of foods... This obviously was/is a major factor in how I have been conditioned towards food... I see things as "safe" instead of safe and healthy...

Thinking about what I eat now is actually pretty sad... I could probably list every single thing I eat on one sheet of notebook paper, and the only variance would be the restaurant it comes from or the package it is wrapped in...

My diet really doesn't include any vegetables aside from starches or beans, rarely any fruits even though I love most of them, and is rich in fried/greasy things... It is a joke in a way, but it isn't really funny anymore...

I think I'm going to try and start fixing this, as I think it will make me feel/function better on a daily basis...

I don't know why it took so long for this revelation and for me to want to try and correct it... I just hope I'm not too far gone!

Monk? Is that you?

you can make your own crockpot meals that are healthy but still satisfying in the "meat and potatos" kind of way.

I have a big pot of chicken soup w/apples and spinach in the fridge the broth tastes amazing.

I make my own chicken broth but after that I just threw everything in the pot and simmered for about 45 mins. About 5 mins of labor. The rest was just waiting.

It's not that hard to eat healthy and I honestly don't feel that it's more expensive either. Time isn't a big requirement if you use slow cookers or just do quick stir fry kind of stuff.

It can actually be a really fun family activity.

even the clean up.

My kids like being "little chefs".

We put together something simple but reasonably fresh and healthy, and I clean it up.

Done and done.

Sadly, I find the clean-up very satisfying.

Must be the Kraut in me.

I think the important thing is not to just 'diet' but change your habits completely. Eat whole foods 90% of the time but allow for bad stuff every once in a while to keep your sanity. Go to the farmer's market frequently and make that food a majority of what you eat.
