OK, Be Honest *****What Did You Just Eat??????????

[roseylovestosho]

I just had a bite of a pineapple to satisfy a sweet tooth craving. And before anyone congratulates me on a job well done...there wasn't anything else in the house so I didn't have a choice.

[yorkietalkjilly]

That's me! Mostly I have to be "good" because there is just nothing bad in the house to eat! Right now I have those measly little Honey Buns right that I got the other day to eat occas. for breakfast but they are tiny, only 180 calories and hardly worth it. I also have the most of a Hershey bar, sugar and that is it as far as stuff that is bad for you! Oh, I do have some Dove Toffee pieces but got those in November and I think they are too told to eat and they are way out in the hobby room, anyway. But still, congrats on the pineapple. It is good for you.

Had the same old Honey Bun this morning but this time had 1 1/2 with my morning coffee. Sooooo good. Now am already starving for lunch and it is a looong time away. I am still in that mood where I want something that tastes really special rather than healthy!

Walked Teddy this morning for an hour and a half and just had a tasty mango!! Still need to finish my morning coffee lol

I'm sorry to say I've already broken open a Diet Coke!!!! That is my morning snack and it is going to have to see me through till noon somehow.

I love diet coke Have you thought about buying Fiber one or other types of cereal bars to have as a snack? Also, don't be so hard on yourself while honeybuns taste good they don't have any calories that will keep you full (fiber, or protein). Maybe next time you can try making 3 eggs (maybe even 2 slices of bacon...it's healthy!!) and have a piece of honeybun on the side and I guarantee you'll stay full longer!

I just love your post on this thread.I just baked a German Chocolate cake, could send you some but don't think it would get there before lunch.

I'm ashamed to admit I had a bowl of fruit loops and a Dr Pepper for breakfast.

German Chocolate Cake?!?!?!?! I love German Chocolate Cake! And fresh-baked!!!! My salivary glands are working overtime. I'm just like Tibbe when he watches me eat something that smells really good - you can tell the little guy is just salivating for his bite! Oh, if I could, I would transport myself to your house for just a slice of that heavenly cake. That tiny old Honey Bun is so long gone it is a joke and my stomach is sooooo growling. Am starving.

Try making something with Oatmeal! I improvised an oatmeal "pancake" because I wanted to eat oatmeal in a different way, more like a finger food. Anyway, take 2 egg whites which are low in calories (17) and high in protein (3.5 grams) 1tsp. cinnamon (regulates blood sugar) 1 tbsp. ground flax seed (does lots of different stuff) and ½ cup oatmeal. I mix in a small food processor and add enough low-fat milk or water to make more like pancake batter. I also add 1 tablespoon of Splenda. I cook it in a preheated nonstick pan that has been brushed with a little butter. This really adds to the taste in my opinion. After placing batter in pan, I add a few blueberries, if I have them, and cook just like a pancake. This is less than 250 calories. I don’t add syrup, because I like it this way, and it’s great with my coffee. Lots of recipes for healthy oatmeal cookies that you make with applesauce, egg whites and splenda. Oatmeal doesn’t have to be eaten in a bowl. The absolute best about this meal, is that it gives me plenty of energy and I don’t feel hungry till the next meal.

Now that sounds wonderful. Bet that would be filling, too. I plan to make that as soon as I get some new oatmeal, realized mine is old. Thanks for the good recipe. It does sound like that is something even I, in my present rebellious state, could enjoy just for itself and its oaty taste without anything sweet on it. I do have some potatoes, so maybe I will bake a potato for lunch. I eat mine quite plain, usually, with just a few grains of salt and fresh pepper and good old Land O' Lakes butter - but not much. I just love the plain potato taste so don't fancy it up too much unless am eating out. Then I'll add some goodies.

Ohhh baked potato sounds delicious! I just ate chocolate oatmeal...Nancy's fault

But do you love SWEETBREADS??

Lol, I don't think oatmeal goes bad unless you have bugs in it. You guys are a lot younger than I am, but in the last few years I've been trying so hard to find something that evens out my energy and moods, and eating plays such an important part on how you feel each day. I don't think people notice it that much when they are young, although, I always knew I couldn't eat "sweets" for breakfast, without have a big crash, in mood and energy level. I believe Oprah’s said it before, it’s kind of rethinking your relationship with food, and looking at it as “fuel” not fun. I still think we can have fun with food, but probably not as much fun as when we were younger.
