No garbage can here !
I went over to visit a very nice lady this AM. She is so kind and because she is kind she thought she would give me some cookies. They are not my favorite, but of course I accepted them. So I knew if I took one bite of them I would end up eating one, then two and likely all four. I have no problem eating treats if I really want them, but I did not want to get into that kind of eating today. And so as I walked up the stairs I threw them in the garbage. If I treat myself like a garbage dump once, I know it will continue. It was hard because I initially thought I was throwing her kindness in the trash too, but I think I deserve the best. We all do. And so I made some quinoa pudding before work. Yum ! I hope we someday learn for good that these are temples we are building, not toxic dump sites.
(This is an in my head recipe that is different every time. It has cooked quinoa, soy milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, stevia, cornstarch or arrowroot, raisins and whatever else I feel like when I make it. Really, it is just like rice pudding, but I switch the grains.)
I am doing well with the exercise (love those Blue Violet challenges), but I may have to go easy on my poor joints. I am going to treat my joints to some pilates and and/or yoga tomorrow.
Girl. I can sooooo relate…
I can not tell you how much food I have thrown out. And yes. I feel AWFUL for wasting it. I do…
But I simply cant have some things in the house, so they gotta go!!
GOOD JOB!!!

Good Job!
All that woman wanted was to see the gratitude on your face when she gave you those cookies.
I think you did the right thing, you let her give to you and then gave to yourself by not eating them. Well done!
Great job on resisting temptation. I hope to be able to do that too. I bet you felt so good about yourself after bot eating them. No guilt for you! Great JOB!!!
About your pudding where do you get quinoa? I have never heard of it.
