Eat a whole burger? Perish the thought! :D

ground beef very well. It's just too heavy in the pouch!

This might sound kind of prissy, but I wouldn't know, because I've

never actually tried! I guess I am still mistrustful enough of my own

body's ability to out-eat almost anything to want to push the

boundaries very much. Tonight I'll be having a low-fat beef tenderloin

dish I found in " Cooking Light " , a magazine I happened upon a few weeks

ago. I think it'll be the first beef I've eaten (other than the extra

thin-sliced stuff in sandwiches) in a few months. I'll be interested to

see how it goes down.

It scares me to read about people who are able to eat more and more

with their little pouches -- I keep thinking, " If they can, I can...and

I don't wanna!!!! " I've never been this thin (well, except for on my

way up, in my early teens) or had such a low body fat ratio, and I

really really want to keep it that way. I do succumb to certain

temptations now and again, but the thought of regain always seems to

stop my hand just before it grabs the piece of fudge or whatever. I

just hope I don't start to get complacent, and let bad habits slip

back. Brr...the thought of it gives me a cold shiver! (not that I'm

warm at all these days, anyway....anyone mind if we just cancel winter

this year?)

Take care, all...
