If you are like most people, you ate a lot yesterday. You probably had anticipated the meal for a few weeks and you could not wait to eat your favorite dishes. Eating is one of the pleasures of life, and when it is done at a special feast with your family, the pleasure is even greater. Your body can handle over eating at one meal; do not put yourself on a guilt trip and have no regrets.
The problem arises when you use one “bad” day as an excuse to continue to over eat for the rest of the weekend or longer. You did not “blow” it. You made a conscious decision to eat as much as you wanted and to enjoy special treats. Now make a conscious decision to eat what is better for your body and go back to the portion sizes your stomach prefers. The mentality that says, “I was bad yesterday so I might as well continue to be "bad” does not do you any good. I understand that mentality because I used it many years.
Let’s Cook Tonight® teaches a common sense approach to cooking and eating for maximum health, flavor and enjoyment. It makes sense to eat and enjoy a feast, but it does not make sense to use that feast as an excuse to continue to eat more than your body needs. What do you do with the leftovers? Wait a week and repeat the meal. A second feast, one week later, is much better than feasting for seven consecutive days.
Cooking is easier than you think and you are worth the time and effort it takes.
