hang in there, Lee, who has been fighting a migraine all week

I love my GFgrill!!

Trick that my husband found somewhere: When you're done grilling, turn it
off, and put a wet paper towel between the "plates". The residual heat will
create steam and losen up the stuff..
MUCH easier to clean later!

Congratulations Glenn!

Here's an easy chicken recipe for the George. Marinate skinless boneless
chicken breasts in a mixture of 1 part lemon juice, 1 part lime juice
and 2 parts orange juice.  For example that could be 1 tablespoon each
of lemon and lime and 2 of orange.  Season with salt, pepper and
tarragon and marinate for an hour or so in the refrigerator.  Preheat
your George and then cook the breast for 5 minutes.

Grill?!  Recipes?!

I'm so surprised that a NG about weight loss would have so many posts about
food.  Am I the only one who thinks this is contrary to the purpose of the
NG?   What's the point?   Why think about food when there are more healthful
things that deserve our attention, like health or relationships or outdoor
activities or ...?   Obsession with food is what makes people overweight.
Those with the temerity to point this simple fact out are the "enemy".  Want
proof?  Just watch the nasty comments to follow my post.

It's the same thing with weight loss advertisements on television.  WW is
just like the others I've seen.  They parade pictures of "low calorie" or
"low point" food in front of viewers to entice subscribers to join, while
they promise weight loss at the same time.  "Give the suckers everything
they want."  Profit motive doesn't equal honesty.

Weight loss should be about lifestyle changes - about healthy attitudes.
Attitudes by definition are part of our psyche and determine what we do
naturally without conscious effort.  With a positive attitude weight loss
can be achieved by anyone in a way that's natural, effortless and
self-sustaining.

It's a fact of nature that maintaining one's weight can be automatic and
needn't be a struggle.  The only fat animals are pets whose owners overfeed
them to make themselves feel good.  The only fat humans are those who
overfeed themselves for the same reason.  No one is naturally fat.
Normal-weight folks are that way because of their life style, not because
they struggle daily to count points and measure portions.  No one can
maintain that struggle for long, which is why diet program followers
experience yo-yo weigh fluctuations.

Most people on this NG have failed to control their lifestyles and
attitudes, so instead they struggle daily to follow weight loss programs
that benefit only the for-profit program sponsors.  Are they taking the easy
way out?  Actually, NO!  They are exerting huge amounts of effort!  And
those who do physical exercise to lose weight are making even more effort.

What's easier: changing your lifestyle and attitude such that you don't
crave food, or exercising hard for an hour or more to burn the calories from
a single meal that you should not have ingested in the first place?  This is
simple common sense.

Listening to most posters on this NG is truly counter-productive.  These
folks have been here for years and they are still overweight.  To succeed in
life one must listen to winners and emulate them, not listen to others who
have nothing to teach.

The message: change your attitude and control how you think about food.
Think of unhealthful or too much food as harmful (as it surely is) and
associate a bad taste with it or whatever else you need to do in order to
naturally avoid it.  You won't miss it after a while.  Substitute other
activities for eating.  When you see the pounds come off and your lifespan
increase by doing what now seems natural to you, you'll never go back.  Just
like most normal-weight folks.

Please don't reply.  My BMI is under 24 and I have nothing to learn here.
Just follow my advice and you'll be in the same category.
