I had one of those weekends where I was really tempted to just snack on everything in sight, but somehow managed not to. On my way home from work I did a little grocery shopping and consciously purchased an oversized red velvet cupcake. I have been avoiding baking in general because I don't want the extras sitting around my house. I can't seem to rid myself of my sweet tooth, but I am better able to control how much I partake of.
I cut the cupcake in half and ate it Friday night. It really did not taste anywhere near as good as it looked. I was rather disappointed in the texture and quality of the cream cheese frosting. I can definitely make it better, lol.
I begged my daughter to take the other half off my hands, but she forgot to take it with her. It sat in my fridge all Sunday. I got home from work today and chucked it in the trash. Can you say "WIN!!" I don't have issues with wasting food, but when I consciously only eat half of something, I congratulate myself for not eating it all and look forward to eating the other half at another time. In this case, I just flat out decided that there were plenty of other treats with far fewer calories that I could enjoy without feeling sick or disappointed, so out it went.
I am leaving Thursday after work to drive to Seattle for my youngest sister's college graduation. I will be at a motel one night (with my other sister) and at my older brother's house for two nights. Neither place really supports my eating habits, so I am packing an ice chest for the trip. To help in that regard, I purchased some smaller tupperware containers to portion out pre-cooked meat, vegetables, and fruit or yogurt. My family will probably give me a fair amount of grief for how OCD I'm being, but I just don't care.
Wish me luck! I've survived a number of vacations, holidays, and weekends in this last four months, so I am feeling like I have this!
