My goal for today is to "only" have two servings of the tapioca pudding (I usually have FOUR). But, I've already HAD the two servings, and it's only 1:33pm. I thought about not MAKING any of it today (brilliant thought, huh?) but I knew that if I didn't make it, I would spend all day eating LOTS of other things trying to fill the tapioca-shaped void in my life! It's weird that I've been addicted to it - usually, if a dessert doesn't have NUTS in it, I'm not even tempted (exception is cheesecake). Cookies, brownies, ice cream -- if there aren't any nuts, I can easily pass them by. I don't know what it is about Tapioca that has ensnared me. This new obsession just started a couple of months ago.
I SOOO enjoy eating tapioca pudding. I savor every bite -- the way it tastes, but also the way it feels in my mouth. Nothing is quite like it. I made a startling discovery today! When I had originally put the recipe into my cookbook, I had inadvertently put granulated Swerve instead of granulated sugar into the stats. Turns out it's a whopping 50 calories more than I thought it was! 249 calories for a 3/4-cup serving!!! It's ridiculous!
I'm going to try something different. I'm going to put the other 3 servings into the FREEZER and just take them ONE out each night to put into the fridge for the next day. If I can get by with just the two servings today, then I can try to limit it to ONE serving a day. Of course, every day that I eat it, I automatically forfeit my "30 Net Carbs" goal because it has 32.08 carbs per serving! I also make it VERY hard on myself to stay within my RDI.
In spite of my Tapioca problem, I still consider myself to be doing MUCH better than I have been for the past month or two! At least I'm recording what I eat again, and drinking my water again. I'm also keeping the house tidy and the kitchen clean, and I've even been helping out my daughter lately - by watching the kids more, and I actually even went over and helped HER clean one day! I've been trying to concentrate on whatever positives I can find instead of on the glaring negatives.
Off I go to put those Tapioca puddings into the freezer! That should help me to stay away from serving #3 today! Besides, I need to eat an Atkins Endulge Chocolate Coconut Bar to get in 9g Fiber to try to reach my 20g for the day.
