And guess what? I still eat potatoes and lose weight, but I gotta like not eat ten pounds of fries and chips.
Instead I take A potato, that's right ONE single, lonely potato and serve it to both hubs and I.
I chop it up into cute little pieces, take a weeee bit of olive oil in a pan and saute them up with some Mrs. Dash.
I don't believe in totally getting rid of a food, but I will say I don't eat potatoes every meal, even though I'd love to!!
So even though I want to chow down on some starchiness, I rein it in and I am trying to adhere to the quarter, quarter, half rule.
What's that you say?
Well, here's a lovely pic of last nights dinner as a perfect example!

Now, obviously I am not a dietitian or some nutrition goddess, but this seems to work for me. I roasted the green beans in a bit a olive oil (not a lot!), sprinkled on some salt, pepper, and garlic salt (heavy on the pepper) and tossed about half way through cooking - roughly 15 min.
The other veggies were frozen in a California Blend (whateva the heck that means), sprinkled with Spicy Mrs. Dash and tada! Pretty tasty. My two little potato slices were left overs and I didn't eat them really cause they tasted like poo. Bleck!
Gotta admit - for a reformed picky eater - I was pretty proud of that dinner and it tasted damn good.
I read somewhere that we are used to eating when we grew up with. To change that, we have to at least eat something like 7 times before we can think of it as a staple in our diet. So..that's my goal - change my staples. I eat like zero fruit and that's gotta change. CHANGE I SAY!
So yeah, that's it. That's what I got today folks - I had one great meal that I feel was 100% healthy and that I'd be damn skippy about if my child grew up liking and eating on a regular basis.
Here's me and Sprout now!
I'll be so happy when I don't hate photos of myself. Sigh....
