2 parties this past weekend. One was a surprise 30th for cousin - had pizza, salad & cake, but only 2 squares of pizza & literally a sliver of cake. I didn't overdo it & felt satisfied but not gross.
The second party was my own - we have a "goodbye summer" party every year. There was a lot of food there, but after I think about it, I really didn't eat much. I snacked a bit, I had one plate of food (chicken breast shishkabob, hot dog, potatoes...I think that was it.) No cake, instead I made rainbow ribbon jello, which was a huge hit (it's different colors of Jello layered in a glass 9x13 pan.) I did, however, drink about 30 beers (OK, not really. Maybe 25
)
But I threw most of that up the next morning, so I guess it evened out.
Heeee. Yesterday was typical hangover food (ie: grease) but portions were small, and I'm back on track today.
As a side note, why is it that if I see a piece of fruit, I'll tell myself "oh, I already had some fruit today" and turn it down without a problem. But with snacks & bad starch, I could easily eat more that I should. What gives?
I love fruit, but it doesn't tempt me like a big fat bagel & cream cheese or a bag of salt & vinegar chips. I wonder if in 20 years, we'll find out that Frito Lay put something in chips to make us crave more - like nicotine.
