I remained in control
So, tonight was my special family Christmas plan. I made a very decadent Alfredo lasagna with 4 types of cheese, sausage, chicken, 2 jars of sauce, fresh herbs. it has TONS of flavor. I only had a tiny piece where normally would have been 2 large pieces, 2 thin slices of garlic bread, normally it would have been 4 pieces(I use a very healthy buttery spread called Nature Balance) and a cesar salad with a dab of Kens Light cesar dressing. I didn't fill stuffed after dinner, it was hard not to fill a little deprived because while the body was comfortable, my taste buds wanted more. After dinner, and the kids opened their gifts we had apple pie and ice cream with caramel sauce. It was a small pie and cut in to 8 pieces. before i would have cut it in to 6. I also only had 1 scoop of ice cream instead o 2 or 3 and dabbed the caramel sauce on it, not drowned it. I realize that I most likely at more cals that I needed to but to limit my portions, and assert my control over them was a HUGE victory for me. Any other time before, I would have eaten till I was sick.
