  Low carb...............high protein diet

  by vitty in

  ok so now im more confused than ever.................... i have found out information that says you should eat 1gram of protein to every lb you weigh...............ok i can do that , i thought.

  4oz--100gram chicken breast, thats not a lot, but that is not how its calculated .

  100 grams of chicken is only 14 g protein.. so if i ate only chicken for a day say 10oz--300 gram................= 1,120 calories ( my limit ) its only 42 grams of protein.. can anyone explain it, have i got it wrong .

  Maybe it will upset them, maybe they will just discard...

  it is my parents wedding anniversary saturday and every year since i left i have always sent them a card.

  i wondered whether i should or not this year.

  on balance i wasn't sure what would upset them more - waiting for a card that never came, or receiving a card at all, especially since i said in december that i wouldn't "bother" them anymore.. anyway it felt right to send a card so i did and i decided to put a little note inside, folded and bearing the message: "my news, but don't read it if you aren't interested".

  Maybe you should not have contact with at all, see how that goes

  You maybe feeding them with a drip , drip drip of information about yourself. If they never hear from you from one month to the next, they may well contact you.

  I had a family member who I didnt speak to for a couple of years, I felt bad but thought I was being faithful. It got to were I asked myself what was the point in NOT speaking to him, I missed him and knew he wouldnt come back. So I phoned him and apologized for shunning him. That was a few years before I left the truth. I told my other JW family members that I was now in contact with him and they just shugged and never said anything more.

  Im so glad I started talking to him before we left the borg.

  They will be hurting.....................let them hurt and worry about you a bit more................they may turn around

  Thanks Lisa.

  Im really struggling .................ive lost 14 lb ( I put on loads after 2 holidays close together, then xmas).

  I know im a carb addict, the more I eat the more hungry I get, but I just seem to lose my way !!

  I used to eat eggs for breakfast instead of cereal, or an omlette for lunch, but have had to cut them out cos my cholesterol rocketed. Its back to normal now but I havent touched an egg for weeks. They were my lifeline

  So now ive been eating cereal for breakfast, wholemeal tuna sandwich and then a stirfry for dinner---------------ive cut out alchohol but im stuck.

  Its hard to know what to eat for lunch, and breakfast. I can manage dinner.

  I will pull a chicken breast out of the freezer for lunch and have a salad with it.......................no bread.

  Im not surprised that you are a JW......................I also used to presume to know what ppl thought and believed when I called at their doors on a Saturday morning, so I think you will be forgiven !. the difference now is I take ppl as individuals and never presume I know " all about their ridiculous ideas on religion"

  What a know all bitch I used to be too

  perhaps you have been reading this board for awhile, and you may believe some of the things we have been saying, however you are still gripped in fear of armageddon.. .

  the wt society has been predicting armageddon for well over 100 years, and when the prophecies fail, they blame you and say "we never said that".

  if i can impart any words of wisdom to you, it's just this:.

  My husband told a work collegue that he no longer goes to meetings, hes had many disscussions with him in the past and we thought he was a RV, he was quite surprised and my husband thinks he maybe more involved than hes said.

  My husband told him to go on this forum, I hope he has i feel so guilty that we may have encouraged him to think it was the "truth"

  I think the advice about letting it dry in the sun is a good one.

  When I get a stain on my clothes .................yep Im a very messy eater.................if I put it out in the sun it generally bleaches the stain out.

  Hi and welcome

  I stopped going to meeting nearly 3 years ago..................I was in it for 20 of my adult years.............what a waste. I wish I had left when my children were young, now I have the pain of seeing my daughter stuck in something I know she hates ( but still believes in the concept). if it wasnt for her husband I know she would be out. Shes expecting her first child in the summer, so the legacy continues.

  Please think about your future and your children future. Those who would shun you will not help you when you watch your children being turned into drones, they are not there when YOUR children are missing out on normal childhood memories please dont do it.

  If someone had told me to be courageous and do the right thing years ago, I wouldnt have the bigger problems I have now.

  My extended family may shun me yet but im started not to care if they do ................my daughter isnt shunning me at the moment but her hubby could at any time to do so. And I know what would be worse...................I could except my extended family not speaking to me but my daughter is a different matter.

  So my advice do it now you can fade slowly over time.

  Phrases that control the mind and thinking

  by Gill in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some of the words that i always look out for in watchtower literature are the following:.

  without doubt...... evidently...... obviously....... we can conclude from this......... can you think of more?.

  a lot has to be learnt from blondie's watchtower studies and some of it is that when the wt society has no evidence for a supposition it plants one of these phrases that suggest stupidity on the part of the reader if he/she doesn't agree with what idea the watchtower society has come up with!.
