My thoughts outside the box


No rice for you!

Ever since we came back from Philippines, I have gained 8 lbs. I know it’s only 8 lbs. but I just feel so unhealthy. Let me tell you, before the wedding I was so disciplined about my eating habits. The day after the wedding, I had forgotten I was on a diet. I am still a pescatarian but rice, rice, rice, rice is all that I ate. By the way, I love rice. It’s the Filipino in me. I may not like Filipino food because of the oil and stuff but I love rice. So anyway, I started this last week – I am going to stop eating white rice! Jay and I went to Fresh and Easy, my favorite grocery store, and bought packs of organic brown rice, veggies, romaine lettuce and seven packs of extra firm tofu. Yummy! I get completely full just after having five bites of brown rice. Unlike white rice, I can eat four bowls and I still want more. Then it’ll sneak up on me; next thing I know I gained 8 lbs.
As for Jay, my meat-eater husband, he’s starting to like the healthy “stuff” but I’m not sure how long he can hang.
