I have to say, I have come to love plain rice cakes as a 'blank slate' for various toppings: almond butter w/sliced bananas, canned drained tuna mixed with salsa, Laughing Cow cheese w/ homemade roasted red pepper slices....yummers. But, they are for my snacks, not my meals. I'm totally on board with 'real food eating' - I just make better choices and consume less of each thing than I did when I was steadily gaining!

Definitely been there. I've been doing Weight Watchers since right after Christmas, and I told myself when I started that the only way this was going to happen is if I could do it without sacrificing my food principles - in other words I was not going to buy specially engineered products, I was just going to eat good food and keep track of how much fat I cook with and my calories. It's been completely easy to do so, too. It's interesting to see the difference in the way my mother and I do WW because she buys all the special no fat, Splenda-sweetened WW yogurt (which is NASTY and has strange chemicals in it) and I buy Fage 0% which is made with exactly two ingredients, skim milk and bacteria, and add homemade jam to it. As soon as I find the time I'm going to start making my own yogurt but I'm happy with that for now. I'm also skimming the raw milk I get and using the cream for special projects that I can share with people. Keep doing what you're doing and don't be afraid to tell people about it. I think when women who are on silly diets hear about people losing weight while eating real food, it gives them hope that they don't have to live on rice cakes forever, and what better way to inspire people? .-= melissa´s last blog ..<a href="http://the-wynk.net/?p=1032">I’m baaack</a> =-.

But having the extra weight feels worse. When I am at a healthy weight I eat whole foods.

I totally agree with you. There's no way I'm going to lose weight eating rice cakes and egg whites. Why? Because I'm going to quit 2 hours into my diet. I want to lose weight the realistic way, while eating realistic food. I can commit to a lifestyle change, but I want it to be a realistic one. Give me real food, please!
