Moi?

I’m just grateful everyone’s having a good howl at your blog. I can write about oatmeal! (Expect howling tomorrow.)

I need protein, myself, so bring to GA high protein meal bars (South Beach brand are my current favorite). I have one for breakfast and keep one in my bag so if there’s nobody around to eat a meal with, I don’t have to buy or consume food. Since I’m convinced that even the “lite” restaurant meals will put instant pounds on me, I don’t go into a restaurant without a really good reason (socializing with friends.) The last few GA’s have had fruit available at food stands, and that’s great, too.

That’s very close to what I bring to conferences. I find that having food on-hand, including breakfast fixings and fruit, really makes me more emotionally stable and less likely to gorge when I have the opportunity.

The desired effect here is not to drink regular Coke (as in 1993.)

Re: diet coke

I understand that there is no scientific evidence of relationship between using artificial sweeteners and loosing weight. The stuff might actually hinder the effort. I once drank oceans of diet soda and it never did me any apparent good. The only thing that worked was to fill up on vegetables.

“Don’t do what my younger self did at 1993 GA: live on Coke for three days”

Tee-hee.

2004 GA: I knew no one there and lived on Balance Bars the first two days. Unfortunately, then I began eating at the California Pizza Kitchen.
