Can you really turn orange ...
from eating to many carrots? :OP
..... seriously! ... I have been eating a lot of carrots .... I love carrots .... but I am worried about the effect it will have on my colouring. I don't want to be orange! I would look too funny!
.... so apart from eating more raw carrots today I had quite a successful Monday. I tracked everything again and at the end of the day I am 5 1/2 points under. Might have some dessert later but I am so full! Walked for an hour and 5 minutes today which I was pleased with. At lunch time I needed to by apples for my boys for their lunches - instead of walking 2 minutes from work to the supermarket, I walked to the one about 20 mins away (and up a hill!) Yay for me.
My weight loss has been the start of many conversations at work ... sometimes I like it (especially the compliments) but sometimes it pisses me off ...... the local bakery brings around baskets of food at morning tea for people to buy and eat ... I eat carrots ... the person beside me (no names!) buys three things usually for morning tea alone .... cakes, sausage rolls, pastries etc ... typical conversation .....
Neighbour 'Oh you aren't having anything again .... you are doing so well' (devouring her sausage roll)
Nancy 'Thanks'
Neighbour 'How are you managing to lose so much weight?' (munching on a cream donut)
Nancy 'I watch what I eat'
Neighbour 'really?' - totally bewilderment on her face - looks confused as if she can't figure out how I can lose weight by watching what I eat .... as she inhales a custard square!
or ......
Neighbour 'why are you eating carrots again'
Nancy 'because I am still trying to lose weight'
Neighbout 'you should have them with dip or cottage cheese ... they are much nicer!'
Nancy ... smacks her head against brick wall!
Are some people just stupid? ... or is it just me .... can they not understand that I am losing weight because I am jumping up every bloody break to walk around the block and that I no longer go to the snack box ... I don't even go in the same room as it .... I don't buy anything from the bakery ladies anymore ...... ! Sheesh it ain't rocket science!
Anyway ....... can I really turn orange? ... am kinda worried about that one!
catch yas tomorrow ..... :-)

Ahh but the question is "If you turn orange - will you weigh less?"
LOL at your neighbour. People are just like that. But you are doing well so just keep on going. Though I have been known to either scoop out 1pt worth of ww cream cheese, or 1 pt of hommus to have with a pile of carrots and celery. Does help with the celery I must admit LOL. Have a great day :)
When my son was younger, I wanted to feed him on carrots to see if he turned orange but he didn't fall for it, damn it.
I like my carrots with low fat yoghurt and sweet chili sauce but then every calorie counts.
The girl at your work sounds like a bimbo.
Nothing much you can do about people who won't see what is right in front of them - just laugh and carry on with the carrots. Good luck for the last 10kgs - with the motivation and inspiration you receive through blogging, you will be there in no time !
Take care and have a great week !
