Tonight for dinner Mom wanted Chinese food and I was starving and thinking ok, this once won't hurt if I have Chinese and so I went to go get the food and then I went to SaveMart and bought a zucchini, thinking I could make an omelet tomorrow with it. When I came home I gave her her food, and then I made myself an omelet with veggies in it. Now I do admit I ate one of the ribs that came with her meal and it was really good, but other than that I was a good girl and I just ate my omelet and drank my glass of milk.
On a good day I do not really care for Chinese food but today because I was hungry it really looked good and she certainly had enough to share. And let me just say the price was pretty phenomenal too: $7.95 for three full size ribs, a good size helping of almond chicken chowmein and pork fried rice. Plus the requisite fortune cookie of course. Anyway, a lot of food for the money, and she still had a lot of leftovers she can have for lunch.
And tonight sitting here I wanted something sweet to eat and there is ice cream in the freezer (no, I did not buy it, a friend of Mom's did) so I got out the vanilla and really after just a few bites I was fine and put it back. Now believe me that is something. Then again maybe it was because it was just vanilla and I'm not a big fan. I usually like something with nuts, like Rocky Road or Baskin Robbin's Nutty Coconut or Pralines-n-Cream or Jamocha Almond Fudge, stuff like that. Pretty sure if those had been in the freezer I would have eaten them in a heartbeat. But I am really trying not to buy sweets to have at night as that is my biggest downfall. Just the other day Mom said she wanted me to buy Snickerdoodle cookie mix to make cookies. Oh yeah that's a GREAT idea. Not. I don't have a good track record with cookies. I'll just have to buy her cookies she likes that I don't.
So, so far so good. I've resisted.
(Pssst....did I tell you Pumpkin Spice Lattes come out tomorrow?)
