I
happen to believe that God gave us French fries to have a piece of heaven we
could ingest. I LOVE FRENCH FRIES! I think my passion has become greater for
them ever since I began this weight loss journey. However, if you have been doing this weight
loss thing for a little while, like me, you quickly realized French fries were
not going to work so hot at keeping you thin.
This is
the best solution I have come up with: Sweet potato fries! Now, no worries, I am a purist. I like my fries to be French. When I tasted sweet potatoes every time in
the past, I always turned my nose up at them.
But, once you begin doing strange things with your eating habits
(changing them) you will notice you begin to not just appreciate new foods, but
enjoy them. This was my experience with
sweet potato fries. What before was a
poor substitute for food crack became a treat I craved. I LOVE SWEET POTATOES NOW!
This
same process exactly played out with real and diet soda. What was pretty vile diet soda before has become something tasty I treat
myself with on special occasions.
When you change your eating habits, your taste buds change
too. They seem to become much more
sensitive. Go back and try previous “good
for you” foods that you hated. You may
just find you like them, now.
Hehehe you sound like me. I love love love french fries XD
ReplyDeleteYou are right we as people do need to except and learn changed eating habits. My hubby has been telling me this for years but it is easier said than done.
Let's keep fighting the good fight.
