My mom showed up with some cute little mini multi grain croissants yesterday when she came for coffee. It was one of those times where it was just easier to have one with mom than explain why I didn’t want to eat one. When she left, I threw the remaining four away. I really liked them and I knew that I would end up eating all of them.
I had plans to meet girlfriends for a birthday celebration, and right when i pulled into the parking lot, I had decided that I would order something point friendly off of the menu, and that I would drink coffee, not wine.
When I walked in, they had a table in the bar, and the waiter had just filled up three glasses with wine, one for each of us. I drank 1/2 price wine and shared 1/2 price appetizers.
I didn’t handle the unexpected very well yesterday.

“love the life you live, live the life you love”
I finally did learn to feel good about throwing food away, but it took me awhile. I used to feel guilty about wasting food, and frustrated with myself for not being strong enough to have it in my house and not eat it.
I’ve learned that by knowing what my trigger foods are, and throwing them away if I feel tempted, is actually a sign of my strength and it shows me that I’m learning what works for me.
Love the coffee ground trick!
Don’t you just LOVE the feeling you get when you throw something that you know you’ll eat later into the garbage? I know myself so well, that I usually follow that little accomplishment up with covering the goodie with some used coffee grounds – as with George in Sienfeld, digging thru the garbage for the ecalair that only had 1 bite taken out of it – I have been known to have second thoughts… so I came up with the coffee ground trick!
