Just a funny thought

Whenever I have fruit, now, I sort of feel like I'm cheating.

I just ate a pear I bought at the farmer's market and was actually thinking I would have to confess that to my nutritionist...  A year ago I'd have swallowed a pint of Haagan Daaz without thinking about it.

It's funny how things change for us, isn't it?

It is really weird.  Now, I feel guilty if I eat 4 oz of chicken parmesan and a few macaroni . . . a year ago I would have eaten two bowls!  At least your guilt is about a pear . . .

A year ago cheating was a whole bag of chips or a box of chocolate or yes, a pint of Ben and Jerry's.

Now cheating is an extra strawberry in my protein shake or a few pieces of SF hard suck candy during the day.

It is funny and yet I'm nervous about the fact that I'm not perfect!!! Guess I NEED to get over that huh? LOL

I admit, I have soy ice cream in the freezer. A pint lasts me a month. Pre-op... it would have been either Ben and Jerry's or Hagan Daas and would have been gone in one sitting. My cheating now is NOTHING like before. But I hear ya about feeling bad.

Sometimes, when my husband and I are eating out, I move my food around so that I have smaller portions that I'm actually going to eat and I ask him, do you think I've over eaten.  I don't know, it's funny the way we get these guilts and insecurities about normal food intake.  I suppose we should be happy that our mind is working overtime.  Once I ate a half a cup of nuts and felt so guilty that I threw the nuts away.
