Tough weekend - I'll do my best!
This is a toughy! I am cooking Mexican for 35 - LOL. I've been making beans
for 2 days! (soaking and cooking and mashing OH MY!!) and while I might trust my cooking instincts if it was just for my son and husband I can't risk it on such large quantities. Meaning - I must TASTE TEST. So - I've been asking DH to taste and I think my tasting such small amounts won't really mess me up. There will be plenty of LC choices for me but there will be 33-34 not LC guests so it's the standard carby fare. I hope I don't start sliding down that slope I always slip on, where I justify eating all the junk "just this once" because it's a special occasion! It's a Birthday Fiesta for my 2 children tomorrow so I am baking a huge cake too, that will be tough to resist! It's alot harder for me to behave when it's food I cook!! |

There are a lot of delicious foods that will cause you to gain weight. Marsha was correct when she told you to "butch up!" You can cook all kinds of delicious high-carb foods for other people, and then justify eating them, but the fact is that if you do, you'll gain weight. Having excuses or your own self-supported reasoning for eating such foods will not excuse you from the cycle. Your body will not know the difference between gorging on such foods or just "tasting" it because you are cooking it for a lot of other people who don't care if they gain weight or not. Low-carb is not a land you visit now and then. You can live it and take a vacation elsewhere every now and then when you are approaching your goal weight, or you can just taste-test it now and then. If you do the latter, I hope you find other ways of controlling your weight. The low-carb lifestyle is not about trying to fool your body into thinking that you haven't eaten foods that you have sampled. Your body knows, and the tape measure and scales directly reflect your diet and level of exercise. |

I read this very quickly at first and though you said that you were looking for a 35-yr-old Mexican -- LOL! I thought: "That's nice, but this is an odd place to advertise for it." pretty funny! I see how you could've read it that way!! The cooking was a smash hit, the party was a blast - -- Saffire 205/140/125 Atkins since 6/14/03 Progress photo: http://photos.yahoo.com/saffire333 |
