I have never liked cauliflower, yet I can’t get enough of my fake mashed potatoes! I boil an entire head, then purée it with a little bit of sea salt, coarse-ground pepper, fresh rosemary and a dab of coconut oil. GW: I love fake food! I make “mashed potatoes” from puréed cauliflower. Don’t let anyone – including yourself – ever tell you differently.=ĪJ: Do you have any healthy treats you’d recommend that are considered a “hack” to the real thing? Usually, tomorrow never comes.ĪJ: What would you say to others that are just starting on their weight loss journey? Today I’m going to stick with my food and exercise plan. Tomorrow I will wake up, eat cake and ice cream for breakfast, pizza for lunch and margaritas for dinner. I tell myself I’ll eat whatever it is I want tomorrow. It’s *never* about the food and always about something bothering me. I know when a slip-up is coming, so I try to redirect my thoughts as quickly as possible. GW: I’ve learned it’s easier to stay on my program than to get back on. Now it sits in my bathroom – without batteries! – And is used once a month. It wasn’t good for my self-esteem or my weight loss goals. When the scale was down, it was never down far enough, or it was down just enough to allow me to treat myself. When the scale was up, I told myself I was a failure and would never reach my goals, and I’d make the excuse it was okay to eat whatever I wanted to at that moment. I never thought I could go without it, but I came to realize I was literally basing my self-worth off the numbers. The scale was the hardest vice for me to stop. Instead of weighing myself daily, I weigh once a month. I still love Richard Simmons’ Dancing to the Oldies and am trying to get into DDP Yoga. (So I’d walk 1.25 miles, then run the distance between the last mailbox to my home, then back it up the next day to two mailboxes from my home, etc.) I now use Map My Walk and C25K along with a Polar heart monitor. I started walking my neighborhood and running the distance between mailboxes at the end of my routine when I first began. I enjoy walking and running, swimming, aerobics and dance. Anything I eat that is processed must have sugar as the fifth ingredient or higher. I do not eat between meals except for sugar-free gum and sugar-free beverages. My food plan includes three meals a day with fresh fruits and vegetables, proteins, and whole grains such as Ezekial bread and brown rice. Each day, I commit my food and exercise plan for the next day to one of my best friends.
I don’t like to diet, I hate exercise, and I always find fault with the scale. GW: Ironically the things I have done my entire life – diet, exercise and weighing myself – don’t work for me. But the number one thing that really keeps me going is knowing in my heart that I can do this.ĪJ: What does your diet & exercise plan look like right now?
Gaye Weintraub: So many things keep me moving in the right direction, from seeing a new me in the mirror each day shopping my closet and wearing things I haven’t worn in years my friends, family and fans quotes I find to notes I write to myself.
