No one is looking... BUSTED!

Following yesterday's post about comfort food I have to say, Damn that was some good spaghetti and broccoli! Here's the issue though - I ate by myself and when there is no one there to watch, no one will know how much you eat. I boiled up some whole grain pasta, heated up the spaghetti sauce, steamed some broccoli and made a small salad. I got my plate all set, not a ton of spaghetti like I normally do - you see spaghetti is one of my all-time favorites! It was probably more than the recommended serving size, but for me it was MUCH less than normal so I felt good about that. I finished it all and I wanted more. It wasn't because I was still hungry, it was because I love it and wanted to eat more of it. NOT necessary therefore I didn't get a second plate. So I started off good...

Here is the problem, the sauce! The sauce is soo good, I can eat it cold and it is delicious. Well I kept getting up and getting a spoon full here and spoonful there. Put a couple pieces of spaghetti noodles on the spoon here, cut a pieces of cheese off and add it to the sauce there... you get the picture! No one was there, no one would know I was "cheating". I can tell people about my good plate, they will never know about the many spoonfuls of sauce I ate afterwards. I realized this and cleaned up the kitchen, put the spoon in the dishwasher and bagged up the extra noodles. Here's the bad part - started using my finger as a spoon with the sauce! I know it's shameful but I have got to be honest about it so here it is. I took a couple of fingerfuls before I literally said out loud in my kitchen "What the Hell am I Doing?!" Why do I feel the need to sneak and cheat and take extra. There was no point! I was already full from dinner, WHY?!

Oh well dinner is over and done with - move on and tonight I am having spaghetti again. Tonight I am going to be stronger and not take any extra sauce. I could be good and put it away right away, however, NO I need to be strong and just say NO! hahaha! BUSTED last night by myself, that's a good start right?!
