NSV Cheese Biscuit & Pasta Salad

I eat a buffet lunch daily provided by my employer. Normally I keep it simple and enjoy a grilled chicken breast, steamed veggie of the day, and a starchy veggie or bread, with fruits for dessert. It really makes it easy to eat well when someone else is doing the preparing and there is a variety to choose from.

Today, however, was different. I got all my regular food choices, then added to it (because they both looked so good and are not normally on the menu) a serving of pasta salad dressed with mayonaise, and a Red-Lobster style cheese biscuit. Couldn't resist.

So here is the NSV: I ate only one bite of the salad (determined that it looked much better than it tasted, and was NOT worth the calories I would have to skip later in the day) I also broke the biscuit in half, then ate only half of the half. It was lucious, like a cheese flavored cookie, but I filled up on the healthy foods and passed on the rest of the biscuit (which I could have easily consumed)

I threw the remainder of the pasta salad and cheese biscuit in the garbage. What makes this an NSV is I am a former member of the clean plate club, and this would have killed me to throw the food away just a few months/weeks ago. Its a major change for me to be able to determine whether it is worth eating or not, and if not to toss it out.

Thanks for reading my brag, just had to share my victory
