simulating shit

i've found a few foods that help me look forward to my meals but i still stay healthy and "on the wagon"

butternut squash + sugar free ketchup = french fries

grilled tofu + spices of your choosing = cheese

egg nog tea + sweetener + milk = egg nog

oatbran + spray butter + sweetener and cinnamon = baked good

plain fage greek yogurt = eating sour cream by the spoonful

plain fage yogurt + strawberry polaner all fruit spread = icecream

coffee + fat free half and half + sweetener = dessert

canned pumpkin + egg whites and milk + cinnamon, sweetener, and sugar free maple syrup = pumpkin pie

these are just a few ideas. but i think the key is getting your head straight. if you're grumpy and pissy about having to eat healthy and get rid of the junk, you won't enjoy these foods. but if you're grateful and you realize that it's a choice to eat well and take care of yourself, you will look forward to these little perks.

happy eating! xo

halloween, thanksgiving, christmas, and every day in between

this time of year is so hard. each holiday brings special, traditional foods that i always looked forward to.

halloween: reeses peanut butter cups, every type of candy created by man
thanksgiving: warm biscuits, pumpkin spice lattes, apple pie with ice cream, ginger snaps
christmas: egg nog, egg nog, egg nog, egg nog, lox and bagels, cranberry muffins, christmas cookies, glazed ham, chocolate

ok so now that i've tortured myself... actually it's kind of freeing to just get it out there. this is all the shit that makes me CRAAAAAAZZZZY. once i start, i can't stop and when i can't stop, i turn into a lunatic. so the goal is to get through all these holidays and every day in between without picking up the shit that makes me fat and crazy. if i don't ever start the ball rolling, i won't go plumeting downhill to sure and certain death.

halloween: check.
thanksgiving: on deck.

happy eating! xo
