The salad for dinner is sitting on the counter. My dad is at the gym. He expects that I will eat while he is working out, because it is dinner time and he saw me putting salad into a bowl. But then when he left, I just walked away and the salad is just sitting there. I am in the family room watching TV, trying to decide whether I am going to eat it or not. I just had a pickle. I feel like Snooki. LOL.
On the one hand, I feel bad wasting fresh vegetables and lettuce, but on the other hand, I don't really want the calories. I know I haven't eaten much today, but I still feel like I have eaten too much. And I know the salad will not have much calories, but it will still have some, and I don't know that I want to add to my calorie count for the day. I will probably just end up throwing it out, because I know that the guilt that I will have over actually eating it will far outweigh the guilt I will have in throwing it out. And I will also feel a little good too, in having the willpower to throw it out. I will have a sense of relief, too.
So I think that about settles it. Throw it out, and drink some water. Writing it out helps :)
Love you, Skinnies!

When I lived alone, I had the worst time trying to buy fresh veg...I'd get some and bring them home and then not want to eat and/or eat only a little and let the rest go bad and then feel horribly guilty about wasting it.
ReplyDelete...yeah. I ate a lot of canned veggies that year.
I usually consider fresh veggies like a salad as free foods. It's the dressing you have to be careful with... use sparingly or none at all.
ReplyDeleteBasically I just ask myself, "do I really want it (hungry)?". If not really, I just don't eat. No big!

I'm glad you came to a decision :) Good job! Writing it out helps me too.
