Change your mentality about food

I like to change I can't have or shouldn't have, to I don't want. I always feel so powerful. I am taking back the control. Sometimes I have to say it out loud, but I say it less and less everyday because I have found myself actually not wanting the foods I used to drool over. (I work in a grocery store)
As for rice, pasta, and bread, I do not substitute. I always feel like I am cheating myself. I know how good it could be and I don't want to slide back into that can't have mentality. If you load up on lots of seasoned, well cooked, veggies and the delicious protein you prepared with it. Once your full you won't miss the starchy sugar/carb bomb. You also won't get the after meal crash. Although I do miss afternoon napping.

I was startled to see that my mom wanted more whipped topping on her jello than I did. I have always been the sugar junkie, lol. I had one third the amount, and the jello was still almost too sweet for me. But i am having an apple fritter for breakfast. After seeing how many calories it is, it will probably be my last one. It's not worth it.2
