Am I obsessed?

courtclerkkris

I had a bowl of Kashi Go Lean cereal this morning for breakfast and then my husband and I ate at Arby's for lunch. Sooo for supper seeings how there had been absolutely NO veggies or fruit logged in my journal I thought I would slip some extras in supper. I added some celery, carrots and onion in my sloppy joes. My husband says he has NEVER had carrots in sloppy joes. Then I began to wonder if I was obsessed. Have you all ever tried to pull such tricks?

I don't think wanting to try new foods and/or add vegetables to a meal is obsessive.

Of course! Sometimes you have to be creative to create healthier meals. Very crafty of you

Edit:
The "of course" was for the fact that I do the same thing. It's not obsessive, just a great way to be!

I have kids.. almost every vegetable they eat is hidden in the food, and then there is a serving on the plate. So even if they don't eat the serving on the plate they still get the nutrients but I don't want to not offer them something because that teaches them to make poor decisions later when I'm not around to sneak it in their food.

No you are not obsessed......I add veggies to meatloaf and other things too!!! We have to get our families the veggies that they need. Way to go!!!!

I don't think it's obsessive but if my wife ever slipped carrots into my sloppy joes I'd be like BISH? Whats duh f you think you doin puttin carrots all up in my Joes son?































No I don't think it's obsessive. But you could always eat them on the side and have normal, tasty sloppy Joes.

I don't think it's an obsession at all but if it is at least it's a healthy obsession . Nothing wrong with adding veggies to your meals!

Edit: LOL @ Sidesteal! I'd say the same thing but only because I HATE carrots!

This is something I normally do. You might think it's obsessive since it's new to you. I thought I was obsessive for weighing my portions using a scale, but now that I do it with foods I'm unfamiliar with ONLY, it's part of my normal day and it doesn't seem as odd. Good for you for noticing you needed veggies and actively making a change to your dinner!



(P.S. Flamers/topic inflamers: don't flame this thread for people using the term "obsessed" like you did a thread earlier today.)

I think it was pretty creative to add carrots, sometimes we need to remember to think outside the box.
