When it comes to junk food, this is one of my favorite sayings, though I find it hard to live by as I hate wasting anything. I was craving chocolate today, and had room for it in my calorie count, so I bought a bag of cookies from the vending machine. But instead of eating the whole thing, I threw out half of it before I even started. It was hard to do, but I'd much rather use those calories on a healthy side at dinner, and a hour later I didn't miss those extra cookies one bit. So that was my NSV for today :smile:

    "A moment on the lips, forever on the hips." This reminded me of this. I should start doing the throwing things out BEFORE I start eating it. Sounds like a good plan

    what about sharing half of it with someone else. my husband and i share junk food so that we can satisfy our cravings but not eat all the calories.

    No, i can't fathom wasting food like that...If i'm not going to eat all of something then i either don't get it, save the rest for later or a different day or give it to someone. Not going to waste food while millions starve just to save myself some calories..

    "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels" Kate Moss.... -.- LOL. I have been known to take one bite of a cupcake and chuck it out after that, I'll take 100 cals over 400 cals, have your cake and eat it too. But I agree, I try not to throw food out, I just don't keep in the house in most cases, and shop responsibly, cake is one of those special things I never make unless its a birthday, or I was bored, wanted to get creative and the kids need a treat.
