We haven't felt "deprived" at all though I'll gladly admit missing a nice steak for a few weeks until we were allowed one...<br /><br />It's AMAZING how quickly the fat melts away when you cut out the carbs and CRAP!!<br /><br />It's also amazing how - after the first week or so - you really don't miss the carbs and fats so much, and when you DO have them they make a really nice treat! We've all noticed that food really tastes BETTER when not drowned in butter or buried in excess carbs or grease!<br /><br />We've also re-discovered spices and flavorings to dress up otherwise bland or repetitive items, and found alternatives to unhealthy items... Example: "Butter-buds" (or equivalent "butter-flavor sprinkles") give all the flavor of butter with NONE of the fat!<br /><br />I've no doubt that your foot - like my knee - will feel INFINITELY better with less weight on it... I've come to the point that I can tell without the scale when I've picked up even just a few (one-hand-count) pounds because of the increased pain in my foot... ~20 pounds makes a *BIG* difference in my quality of life!Dedicated_Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375339835638311982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-45615708046197175912011-11-09T08:20:23.832-06:002011-11-09T08:20:23.832-06:00My mechanic shows me a handful of oak leaves I hav...My mechanic shows me a handful of oak leaves I have paid him to extract from my car's A/C fan then says "Try to park your car in a spot with less leaves." I do a quick mental scan of my 100' x 100' yard with the 9 mature live oaks. "Would the bottom of the swimming pool be a good spot?" I ask.<br /><br />Did your doc have any suggestions of where on the planet this "away from stress" spot might be?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-90811732847518483992011-11-09T07:49:36.105-06:002011-11-09T07:49:36.105-06:00Prayers for all of you.
