We have a little market in town that I visit occasionally for fresh produce. I don't go there very often since I usually do my groceries in one fell swoop and this place only have fruits and veggies,no meats and limited dairies. My mom and I went this afternoon and I got green peppers, cucumbers, lettuce, onions, grapes, apples, and pears. Everything came to under ten dollars! Wowza, I think I need to go there more often.
This afternoon I made this recipe to bring over to The Sisters. I do my laundry there every Thursday and she usually makes me a nice dinner while I'm there so I thought I'd return the favor. While it isn't inherently Diet Friendly I've decided not to sweat it. I think every food is Diet Friendly so long as you eat it properly. Besides, this isn't a diet. Right?
I think that's the best thing about the way I've been eating. I haven't been depriving myself of anything that I want. Every indulgence I feel I deserve I give myself, but in a responsible portion. Maybe that's what's different about this time around, usually I swear off bread, or chocolate, or everything remotely tasty, and this time I'm eating, well, normal. I know that this is a long term thing I'm trying to do and there's no way I can live my life without the occasional cheeseburger.
Somehow, I feel like I've discovered a dieting secret. Or maybe just finally understood one that was in front of me all this time: Moderation.

Amen, to moderation!
I think not depriving yourself is a key. When I deprive myself it usually leads to me binging.
The chicken lasgna sounds good. I will have to try it.
holy cow! i was just thinking today how it's been DIFFERENT this time around, and prolly b/c i dont cut things out and finally understand control and moderation, and youre so right, it's NOT a diet, it's a lifestyle change...
hey, i had to add a little props to you on my "239" entry: http://sha-diggity.blogspot.com/2007/01/239-already.html
Amen. Moderation is definitely the key. So simple and yet not always easy... At least not for me. :)
Right on... Moderation is the key to success for me. Like alea said, so simple, but not so easy all the time!
And that lasagna looks great!
Amen sister! All things in moderation! You can have your cake and lose weight too. Just don't be like me and eat the entire cake! LOL!
Yep! Diets don't work! Lifestyle changes that include moderate portions, healthy foods and physical activity are the way to go!
YES!! I love the idea that every food is diet friendly!! But, where do I learn this "moderation"? ;) Have a great weekend!
