A TALE OF TWO SPINSTERS

Made these lovely sandwiches for dinner and only ate half....chicken cutlet, sharp provolone, red peppers, and broccoli rabe with garlic on a crusty roll:


And then ordered all of this crap for dessert:

 

I'm practicing self-control, Dearies, but staying away from the Corn Nuts is going to be a challenge! 

And the Crunch 'n Munch.

And the m&ms.

And the ice cream cones.

Time to thread up so my hands (and tiny brain) are occupied!

  1. I'm right there with you, Coni. But I'm worse about snack eating if it's not around, I have to go buy it then eat twice as much! Debby in CO

  2. I have started prepping my snacks! I put single servings of nuts, raisins, or cranberries in separate tiny containers (like the dressing cups at salad bars), so I can grab and go.

  3. Why order all the crap dessert stuff that's not good for you ? Remember your belĺy bean.

    1. Agreed…it breaks my heart to see that junk food. Coni, hugs, but you just can’t do this…

  4. Your sandwich looks fabulous. I have to limit the junk desserts that come into the house otherwise it would be one smorgasbord all day long. Have a blessed weekend, Coni!

  5. I’m hoping that the 2nd pic is a joke, because I can’t even imagine how much money was wasted on all that fat, sugar and salt! We’d all love to be able to eat anything we want and call it a study in self control, but it’s not the reality of life after 50, but hey, it’s your blog and your health. You put it out there, so, here’s my comment, don’t ask readers to do the hard work of being your conscience, as we are all working hard at being our own conscience and keeping our own “houses” in order. Do the hard work and reap the rewards…that’s the “secret” to success.

    1. Exactly, don't buy it or have it available. You want to eat healthy don't undo it with Carl food.

    3. That cracked me up. From now on, all sugary, processed food is Carl food. 😁

    6. Kind of harsh, no? I didn't read anything here that says she was looking for anybody to be her conscience.

    7. Sweetheart relax you are only responsible for you
      don't waste energy worrying about strangers because they really don't care what you think some thoughts are better left unsaid

  6. We don't buy Crunch N Munch anymore. We inhale it before dinner time!

  7. Is that a bag of Gardetto’s snack mix hiding??? Oh that stuff is fantastic!!! Eat and enjoy. Life is short and if you are digesting food properly, enjoy it!
