I don't finish everything. I don't finish up after my kids, and I didn't push them to eat a full plate, either. In one side of our family, the moms were always doing that, and I didn't see the sense in it. I hate throwing things away, but if me eating it makes me heavy, it's still a waste, right? So I changed that old-world habit because it didn't make sense. (And ask if I got scolded? Go ahead, ask, I double dog dare you, LOL!) <br /><br />I'm a Yankee. <br /><br />I learned the art of smile and nod and make my own choices, but boy, it took a while!!!!Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-52182579331154169522016-02-04T13:33:31.385-05:002016-02-04T13:33:31.385-05:00But Tracey, I think it's okay for us to have a...But Tracey, I think it's okay for us to have a little padding!

I don't have a huge appetite, and I get full easily, so those things are nature's control, right? I do love sugar, so I have to ignore it and pretend it's not here, and I give myself a goal. (Ruthy and goals, SHOCKER!!!!) :) Like if I can eat carefully for 2 weeks, I get a Sunday to let loose. Or my holiday "Pre-emptive" strike, as Beth calls it. That way I don't end up gaining weight over Christmas because I took off a few pounds before. But mostly I think I was born with a frenetic metabolism. <br /><br />Frenetic has its own built-in bonus!!!! :)<br />Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-2126103941420334842016-02-04T13:08:32.231-05:002016-02-04T13:08:32.231-05:00Rigatoni....

I'm trying to get off some of the holiday lbs. and RUTHY is talking about my favorite foods, yikes!<br />And now you've enlisted the help of Finn to tempt me with cookies and cakes. <br />It's all virtual at this point, so whew. But I do see all of the above in my near future.<br />One question, how do you managed to cook all the good stuff you do and not eat it all or gain weight? If I make it I have to eat it, I even bought my husband his birthday cake last month so I wouldn't be tempted to lick the bowl or frosting beaters. I'm still trying to figure out how to cook good food without tasting everything, eating everything and then finishing off everything!
