I'm disappointed in myself. I came home exhausted from work and my husband had made pasta with turkey meatballs. It wasn't whole wheat, only like 50% wheat. I let him make me up a plate because I was too lazy to make my own. He put about 2x as much as a serving on my plate and I ate it all.

Pasta is a big comfort food for me, I used to eat it all the time in law school and expanded and expanded.

I broke a lot of my "rules," eating carbs at night, part white flower pasta at all, too much, letting myself getting too tired and hungry before dinner, and eating until it was all gone with out paying attention to what I was doing.

I have no idea how many calories I ate and am disappointed in myself for such disassociated eating.

Tomorrow is another day, but I really have to be vigilant to avoid erasing the work I have put in.

We've all been there, it's okay to slip-up. Life sometimes gets the better of us. You realized your slip-up and can work extra hard tomorrow to remedy it. I know pasta is always the one food I can eat without thinking about the calories. Good luck!

Pasta is my biggest downfall too. I could eat it all the time, in insane quantities if I let myself (in fact, I have!). Good luck!

Me too. I try to avoid it totally. It totally triggers me especially if it has marinara sauce on it. I can eat a huge dish and then afterward something in the tomato sauce makes me want to have chocolate.

My BIL invited us for dinner tomorrow night......guess what he`s making?

You guessed it - Spaghetti.

Pasta IS love but only to my hips!

Pasta is my weakness too. And after I eat it, I always want to eat a big bowl of ice cream (growing up, whenever we had pasta, we always had ice cream as dessert). I totally understand about being tired - pasta really is a comfort food - something about the tomato sauce, meat, and cheese on top of yummy (and unhealthy) white pasta just makes all my rational thinking go out the window and just dive right in.

It sounds like you've clearly identified the lessons-learned and can make a plan that will avoid you falling into the pasta-trap again!
