Easy One-Two-Three Dessert

I recommend you make this easy low carb dish in the morning to allow plenty of refrigeration time. However, in a pinch it can be made before you start dinner preparations.

Have four small dessert dishes chilled in the refrigerator. Haul out the blender. Set your electronic timer for two minutes and have it standing by.

3/4 cup boiling water
1 pkg. (0.3 oz) Jello Sugar Free Gelatin (your choice of flavor)
Ice cubes, crushed is best
1/2 cup cold water (in a two cup measuring container)
1/2 cup thawed Cool Whip Lite (or Free) Whipped Topping

In a small bowl, add boiling water to the gelatin mix. Using a whisk, stir two minutes until the gelatin has completely dissolved. (Yes, use the timer.) Pour the hot mix into the blender. Add the ice cubes to the cold water until it measures 1-1/4 cups. Add the ice and water to the blender. Blend 30 seconds on high. Add Cool Whip. Blend until smooth.

Pour into the dessert dishes. Refrigerate at least 20 minutes or until firm.

No calorie and carb data available due to the optional factors of which gelatin and which Cool Whip you choose.

I finally made this jello dessert. Wow is that easy and so tasty too. I am not sure why it took me so long to make. I am not a jello fan. This was nothing like regular jello. It is like a rich mousse. Thanks for the recipe it is a keeper. Best wishes imaluckydog

Forgiving Myself and Literally Moving On

Okay, I confess. You haven't seen much of me lately because I've been naughty. I fell off the wagon and piled on ten pounds. Could I blame stress? Yeah, but the point is that no one put a gun to my head and made me eat more carbs. I did it. I think the point is to forgive myself and get back on the bandwagon. There will be days like today (Thanksgiving) where I'll indulge. However, I can say no to certain things like mashed potatoes and dressing and say yes to things like more turkey. I had just a sliver of pumpkin pie instead of pigging out. For me, total denial means I get resentful and eventually defiant. Giving in to a little and having what I want in reasonable portions means I avoid a self-hating binge in secret later. So, now I have to come up with strategies to increase my calorie burn when I can't control what I eat. That means increasing my exercise. That's as easy as getting out of the chair. I can take a walk or dance to my MP3 player. I can do a lot of ...

Is Humiliation Part of the Treatment?

Just how much humiliation am I supposed to take? Today was a group session at the surgeon’s. You know what I learned? What an ass one of the surgeons is. That’s it. After the weigh in, in which I gained a whole half-pound, we had the usual and repetitive lecture on how important it is we shrink our livers. I was feeling pretty good about my weight, actually. I’d had a full bladder and heavy winter clothing on, but the scale said only half a pound. I could live with that. I knew also I’d had a few too many macadamia nuts over the past few days and vowed to cut them out. Finally, the surgeon appeared. He was as handsome as rumor had claimed. I had a hard time understanding his accent, since he was from South Africa. The Afrikaners I’ve known can seem to mumble a bit to our American ears. I’d had an Afrikaner teacher back in real estate school and I’d adored him, so I was prepared to like the surgeon, Dr. Cywes. How wrong I was. After introducing himself and matching faces to files, he im...
