So I have always had streaks of food oddness. Sometimes I lose my taste for coffee for several weeks, gasp! Or all I want is blueberries, for weeks. Or sometimes it's cheeseburgers. And there was the three-month grilled-eggplant-for-dinner-everyday incident of 2002. So I'm no stranger to odd cravings. But in the last couple days I've noticed I have no desire to eat meat. Meat is currently grossing me out. Yes, last night for dinner I defrosted some home-made steamed pork dumplings at J's request, but I really didn't want them at all. And I put egg in the fried (brown) rice. But today I find myself looking for a way to make dinner for both of us that will allow me to skip the meat. During the day it's easy, but I know my beloved omnivore will want meat with his dinner and I guess that means no one-dish meals for a while, at least until the current anti-meat craving passes. I'm okay with dairy: milk, cheese, yogurt. But actual meat? Gag. Weird.
Side note: weigh-in tomorrow night. This morning the scale said 186, we will see what a day and a half brings! I need to hit 186.4 on the WW scale to make my 15 lb loss and get my reward haircut. I'm thinking about going a little shorter, somewhere between chin and shoulder-length.
Have a fab day!

Hmmm...I have not a clue about the meat situation. I, my friend, am a carnivore. I have to tell myself, "Corletta, eat something other than meat!"
i know, it's weird, i love meat! usually. oh well, just another weird food phase to get through. though if i'm not careful this one might stick. that would not be a bad thing.
Ha ha!!!! "Eggplant"? Are you crazy! LOL
When you get your hair cut please post a pic so we can see. I have no doubt that you'll make it to your goal! :)
@afg oh my god i am so not kidding. i would cook a ton of it every night in my little forman grill, with zucchinin or yellow squash, and big onion slices. lots of greek seasoning. i was obsessed!
yes, i'll totally post a pic when i do. the 15 lb mark is when i'll post my first progress pics, too, though i don't think i have any of me at my peak weight.
i'm glad you're back, the blogosphere was not the same without you!
Egg in fried rice is amazing!!
Sometimes I think our tastes change on the journey. Things we used to like no longer become appealing. Or maybe it's just a phase?
WoohooO! I am rooting for your 15-pound loss! Definitely post a pic of your new super cute haircut when you get it! :)

I eat the same things over and over, too. In the heat of summer, I've noticed a tendency to avoid meat, but this definitely isn't summer! :)
(Pssst--if you cut your hair *before* the weigh-in, it would be that much more weight lost. :))
Yes, please post a pic of the new haircut.
I am always lighter after a haircut -- seriously. I wonder how much hair weighs..?
I have never had a hamburger or a stake in my life, Liz. Weird, I know. But I do eat seafood. And I love cheese and yoghurt and eggs.
Grilled eggplants for 3 months? Sounds GREAT to me!!
@chubbygirldiaries, yes, maybe it's a phase. i don't mind, it's just weird :/
@cammy, i like the way you think!
@agnes, i have a cheeseburger addiction that it would not hurt me to stop indulging in for a while :)
@everybody, the haircut won't be a BIG change, but i am way in need of one! hopefully i will like the new lady and so will have a regular person to go to from now on. i've been a hair-cut-lady orphan for going on 3 years now! just trying this salon and that one, or asking family to give me a trim, or running into one of the haircut mills. no more!
Red meat grosses me out since I read a book called "Fast Food Nation" that described the way the beef industry operates.
@karen, i've heard about that book but am afraid to read it. and i'm an animal lover, so i am not minding my current aversion to meat. i'm hoping it pushes me firmly in a direction i have always thought about, going veggie.
