And this is how it starts but fortunately I nipped it in the bud before it bloomed! God, I love metaphors. Without them I'd have to cut through the crap and get right to the point and what fun would that be?
The other day I recognized it's not so much the 'emotional' triggers that led to my poor eating as it was the total 'lack' of it - boredom, comfort, complacency.
Today I was preparing 'chili cheese dogs' for MH's lunch. I already had my 'RDI Survival Soup' heating (a low cal / low fat delicious concoction of vegetables and broth specifically created to help me through days I want to eat frequently without wrecking my RDI) on the stove as I started prepping his lunch.
Stirring the bubbling chili inbetween grating the cheddar cheese I found myself thinking 'Eh, screw the soup... this looks good... one is okay .. it's the day after Christmas and you didn't eat all that much yesterday and ...'
And I caught myself BEFORE I turned the flame off beneath the RDISS.
"Are you crazy? You HATE canned chili (the only kind MH will eat) and you REALLY HATE hot dogs! You didn't even EAT hot dogs when you ate all the other crap like pizza and nachos and on and on! Why would you eat one NOW?"
"Because, it looks good?"
"The hot dog looks good?"
"Well, no, the chili looks good. And the cheese..."
"Okay, add a LITTLE of the CHILI to your soup and sprinkle some Parm Cheese in the bottom of the mug before pouring the soup in. You'll get the same wonderful taste without the 'crap'!"
"Well... you know what ... you're right!"
Slip of the Subversive Sabatoger Stopped. Yay.
I actually poured the chili in on top of the parm cheese and then added the soup. When I reached that part of the mug, I'm SOOOO glad I did NOT have a whole serving, cup, mug whatever. Yuck. I Hate canned chili. Maybe my chili days are over too? I made some a couple of weeks ago and barely finished a cup of it. Maybe I never really did like Chili, just liked all the cheese and jalepenos and chips? It's either that or I'm just a really bad cook?
Oh well. ONE single customer so far today. If I'd have closed the phone would have rang off the hook. Thank goodness for the internet ~ keeps me amused while I'm passing time out here.
Thank you for reading!
