Yes I know it is a strange title for today. I am actually eating a cup of it right now! Even better is that it only has 10 calories, and no fat!!! And other than letting you know that that the past 5 days have had there ups and downs I am not going to spend my blog time today talking about what I ate.
I do have one food related question, however. What do you do when your options seem limited? None of the food is what you would call healthy, and you don't want to be rude to your host, what are options? After giving this a little thought I have come up with a few answers. If you have a hamburger or hotdog, skip the bun; save on the carbs and extra calories. Eat smaller portions! Don't go back for seconds, unless it is offensive and even then keep the first ideas in mind. Choose the healthier drink; none available, choose water. There are probably others that you could think of.
Other tips for eating healthier... One of the biggest that I have learned and still continue to learn is not to deny yourself. Sounds strange, I know, but I don't mean go out and eat everything available; that is no where near healthy eating. What you can do is have a smaller portion. Say you really want a piece of Cheesecake and that is all you have been drooling about for the past week. You can't get it out of your head. Don't completely deny yourself. If you do then you will probably cheat, try to hide it and then decide since the whole day is ruined that you can go ahead and fully blow it. Instead, save yourself the guilt, self loathing, and wallowing and get a cheesecake, but eat it smartly. Share it with friends. Cut it into a smaller piece and give the rest to someone else. Eat a portion and freeze the rest for another day. Maybe your just craving the taste? Buy the 100 Calorie version or cheesecake bites. If you do it smartly you really can have your cheescake and eat it to.
Lord, help me eat smarter!
