Toss them now. Then find a restaurant that serves lots of veggie dishes (like an Indian or Mediterranean one) and try lots of them in small portions (ask for a sampler platter, if you can). Find some you really like and learn how to cook them and go from there. Embrace them and you will learn to live happily without what you once craved. And save your health in the process. It has worked for me so why not you?
Did you reduce your blood pressure and cholesterol ??

(assuming they were high before...)

Only allowed 150mls of wine. no prawns

I have three months to get the level down. I could starve

Right! Today I will eat all the rest of the non-allowed food in the house and start afresh tommorrow!
You wouldn't want that morning-cough from smoking again.

That's real ' tough love' that you're getting from your doctor.
See it this way: it's for a good cause ........YOU !!!!
Go for it and keep us posted of every gram you'll loose and every single healthy thing you do..
......could be instructive for the forum.

Yes. I was taking a statin to get it to 170 or so. Now I take half of one a day and my cholesterol is regularly 117. I continue to take it only because I haven't been to the doctor to get her advice. My blood pressure was 140+ over something untreated and is now routinely 115 to 120 over something. Embrace lentils!

Some years I've gotten as far as the day of the Superbowl without discovering who was playing, but this may be the first year I missed hearing of it altogether.

And yes, it's part of a plot to overthrow the government.

That's good gnus.

By the way, I continue to lose weight even when I don't exercise, although a lot slower. And I've had no reversals since I started 10 months ago. 55 lbs down and 10 more to go.

normally I am so tied up with ski season that the only impact that the super bowl has on me is covering for other instructors that don't show up (unless the Broncos are playing) this year I was surprised at the amount of people at the puppy park during the game. and it was COLD!

I saw Vivaldirules' avatar with these beautiful birches, that reminded me of the ones I saw some 8 years ago at an exhibition of Russian landscape painters, Levitan, Sjisjkin...don't remember more names.

Lovely! Thanks for posting their names. I've been pondering trees and drawings and paintings of them lately. And trying to get motivated to draw some myself. Actually, I find that just looking at trees is awfully satisfying.

Well, watch what you wish for, Kenny. I have a couple of pages from my sketchbook on my profile page under pictures or albums or something. Let me warn you I am a rank amateur and always will be.
