Hello Lobstermom and welcome!
Thanks for the great advice. It´s amazing what you do for a living. I have never heard about it in Europe, but what a smart way to work!
I have to try the dip. Juls, I went to the market today and got 6 pears and I´m eating one as we speak. I stuck out the hunger last night, although it became almost unbearable. I don´t know how I will feel tonight, but I will eat more fruit.
The problem is, Lobstermom, that I start work at 11.00 in the morning and finish late at night. Sometimes I have to work till 3 AM and then getting a hard boiled egg seems more practical then making a scrambled one. Is it too fattening?
Another aspect of my problem is that 2 years ago I went on an extended trip to the Far East. I had to take malaria tablets for 8 weeks and let me tell you, it´s a guaranteed dietpill. I´ve rarely felt so nauseous in my life and you just don´t want to eat. I became fashion model thin - which is not what I want to be anyway - and when I starteed eating like a normal woman I ate like I´d been starved for a year, which in a way I was.
I hope I´m over that and the fruits will help me to get these 14 pounds off. I´m dedicated and haven´t strayed since yesterday.
I hope others will share as well. Thanks for all this great advice!
