sunday sins | second helpings

boy am i glad those two weeks are over! i think i might need more time to fully wean myself off the concept of "dessert" however. as soon as i finish a meal - i crave something sweet! it's the strangest thing because no matter how full i was, i still wanted chocolate or sweets. i did really well in the past six days though. i bought fibre granola bars with a bit of chocolate in them and ate one of those after dinner. at least then i wasn't going to the store to buy a pack of dibs or a tub of chocolate swirl ice cream...

mmmm chocolate swirl ice cream...

see that little boy?* (girl??) that's what i'm like. if there is food still to be had - i'll have it! it doesn't matter that i already had one bowl of cereal, or one egg sandwich. i'll get right up and make another! in order to train for the next two weeks, in which i will not enjoy second helpings, i've been cutting whatever i cook in half as soon as it's done. i put half in a tupperware container for my lunch at work the following day. once it's in the container, i feel naughty going back for more. i know that seems like a no brainer for most of you but i don't come from a leftover household, and though my husband and i valiantly save leftovers, we rarely (remember to) eat them.

i think i just need to let my stomach catch up to my brain. because chances are i'm full, or at the very least - satisfied.

* i love how the mothers face just says "now billy, do you really need that grape?"
