Low Carb Feta Grill Patties

Ingredients:

1 pound ground chicken or turkey
6 ounces crumbled feta
2 tablespoons ground oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions:

These are great on the outdoor grill, but equally good on an indoor grill or under the broiler. Mix all ingredients well and form into 4 – 6 individual patties. Grill or broil for about 5 to 7 minutes each side. The feta cheese gives these a particularly wonderful and unique flavor. If you’re using an indoor grill you might need to spray it with a bit of nonstick spray because they to tend to stick a little. Enjoy!

Self Worth And Weight Loss

When you think of losing weight, you probably equate it to moving from a “bad” state (fat) to a “good” state (thin). You may view your extra pounds as evil, disgusting creatures that have no right occupying space on your body, and you may even feel a bit disgusted with yourself for gaining the pounds in the first place. This is a common feeling, but it can be incredibly damaging and continue to perpetuate the cycle of “bad and good” – even once you have lost weight.

In order to achieve truly lasting, healthy weight loss, you need to be thinking and acting from a core of worth. Your core of worth is the foundation of belief that you truly deserve to be healthy, strong and happy. Do you currently have such a foundation? Or do you think about yourself and your weight along the lines of good or bad? You may think that punishing yourself into losing weight by thinking of your fat (and yourself) as being gross and out of control will be effective, but it actually creates more resistance within you.

As a result, you continue to feel bad about yourself, treat your body poorly and eat more than you should. If you then try to use that same mind-set to lose the excess weight, you will only make yourself feel worse and find it harder and harder to lose weight.

To achieve a healthy body and mind, you need to begin loving and believing in yourself as you are now. You need to believe that you deserve to be healthy and happy, and let your actions flow naturally from that belief. You need to act from a core of worth that says, “I deserve better than what I’ve been givng myself up to now.” When you approach weight loss with this type of attitude, treating yourself kindly becomes much easier. Keep saying to yourself every day, “I deserve to be treated kindly. I deserve to eat foods I love and that make my body feel good”. When you do this, your whole life becomes much more balanced and you don’t have to fight those inner and outer “demons” that kept you tied to unhealthy habits for so long.
