As I mentioned, I'm not a spice girl (never liked the music, ha!). So I make substitutions for meals which, while I'm sure are tasteful, overwhelm my taste buds. Anyway, there are some substitution meals which I drool over. Last night I had stuffed shells. Three jumbo pasta shells stuffed with cheese, covered in marinara sauce and then more cheese. I love cheese. Love it. This satisfies my cheese-need nicely.
I'm still waiting to indulge in the pretzels and cheese I've been staring at since Tuesday. Anticipation. It even let me resist the urge to take a bite from Nicky's mall pretzel today. It's hard to pass up the little treats, especially when it's all about the chocolate this time of year. I just keep reminding myself that treats are a reward and not an expectation. And lo-cal jello with a bit of whipped cream is a treat also. I only get a bit because someone (Nicky) loves whipped cream.
Food tomorrow. I like pulling the meals out of the bag and organizing them. Like I said, anticipation.

You did a Great Job on resisting the children’s pretzels. I know it must be hard multiplied by difficult to be around all those snacks that small children enjoy.
ReplyDeleteYou won’t be disappointed with your DTG pretzels, there’s nothing diet about them.
Keep up the great work.
Hi Donna, I appologize for not reaching out sooner but I am new to this format and just realizing what I can and can't do. I wanted to congratulate you on your weight loss and willpower. With a six year old in my house I found myself finishing off his leftovers (starving kids in china as our parents used to say) I don't think it did me any favors being a member of the 'clean plate club" but I'm learning that what you put into your body is just as important as what you put on it. We all worry in vain about our looks or clothes or what other will think of us but if we can learn to shun that and do what is right for our body and soul we will be much happier in the long run...assuming there is one. Anyway, keep up the good work and don't be afraid to drop me a note on my personal email address. Have a great weekend.
