Italian Food Porn!




Glad you all enjoyed Who-gives-a-frack-day! hehe Sometimes I say frack instead of the other.....yeah....sometimes.

Alittle sunshine today...not much though. Band isn't too tight today. I decided to add some yummy blueberries to my maple and brown sugar oatmeal this morning and it was really good. I read that blueberries are really good for your metabolism and they help stabilize the effects that carbs have on blood sugar. :)

And though breakfast was a triumph...lunch..well...not so much! A new Italian restaurant, Fratelli's, has opened in town and everyone wanted to try it. So I went and got menus and brought them back to work to check out and oh my goodness! Talk about tempation....they have everything I absolutely adore in the world of pasta from manicotti, lasagna, baked ziti, chicken alfredo, ravioli, basically in pasta dish ending in a, i, or o. Yeah. So I tried to be good and I ordered the eggplant parmigiana and Mary and I ordered some fried calamari to try out and split. The lunches came with a side salad and gorgeous butter garlic rolls. I ate one part of the eggplant (very tasty) and I got rid of my spaghetti and didn't eat any of it. I ate quite a few calamari pieces and 1 tiny bite of a roll. Saved the rest of the eggplant for later. Then it happened....

That guilty feeling I get when I feel I have eaten poorly. Then my all-or-nothing kicks in and poof, today becomes another who-gives-a-frack-day. So I went ahead and ate that slice of banana nutbread that a friend's mom bakes and brings to work for everyone. Boy, was it delicious. Then I got snacky feeling and went down to our breakroom and got a package of vanilla creme cookies from the vending machine and ate all but one of them. Now my mind is reeling thinking about what gosh awful food I will end up eating for dinner since "today is messed up now". I have got to get a grip people! I just hope it's sooner than later. Some how....by some miracle, I managed to lose about a 1lb in the last 2 days of eating pure crap! I did manage to get in a pretty good workout yesterday, maybe that did it. All I know is I have to try harder to get my eating under control or I am gonna lose it!!!! Straight jackets aren't flattering at all, IMO so yeah, I need to get on the ball before insanity takes over.

  7. Do you think if you hadn't felt guilty and had permitted yourself to feel satisfied with the meal you would have stopped eating?
