I broke one of my own rules. I went back to the stove and put more food on my plate. I made spaghetti tonight which I think I make fairly well. My family likes it, anyway. This time I decided to try using a few things I had leftover from a previous recipe, and I was very surprised and VERY pleased with the results!! I will never go back to the old way now. I'm going to post the recipe when I finish this post.
Back to rule-breaking. It wasn't that bad, and I won't beat myself up over it. I still ate substantially less than I used to eat, and since I made my own sauce, there are no sugars in it. Whole wheat noodles made it a healthy choice. Last excuse: I had several hundred calories left in my daily allowance! I do not and will not do this all the time, but I tell ya I am fighting the urge to eat another plate of it! :O
If you do fall off the proverbial wagon, don't throw your hands up and revert right back to your previous lifestyle. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, give yourself a firm pep talk, and then move your rear end and get right back on that wagon. Making a mistake doesn't mean you have the green light to give up! Remember, just like anything we learn to do well - we'll mess up and do it wrong and feel very frustrated before we achieve success. Looking back, we'll laugh at our mistakes, and then hopefully pass on to others good advice.
