Birthday’s and Planning Ahead!
Ok, everyday can offer you challenges especially when your a stress eater. My daughter turned 14 and we had a small party of 15 people. Some family, neighbors and friends. I was keeping it simple and serving pizza and ice cream cake. An hour and 1/2 or so before the pizza’s were coming, I put a large sweet potato in the oven. While everyone was helping themselves to the pizza, I unwrapped the sweet potato from it’s foil and began to eat it. It filled me up. While I served the ice cream cake, I felt satisfied. I have learned that I can’t even taste what I shouldn’t be eating so I washed my ice cream coated fingers instead of licking them and I got through this very difficult day easily.
That’s amazing when the pizza and ice cream are right in front of you and you can eat a sweet potato. It makes sense because sweet potatoes are very satisfying if we could just think ahead and plan, etc. Good job!
