Last week, I kind of hit the salad wall. I've been eating salads at lunch every day because they are low in points, tasty, and pretty easy to get together in my short lunch period. I change it up with different toppings and veggies and dressings, so it's not like it's the same thing day after day.
On Thursday, I was cutting up a pepper for my salad, and my co-worker came in. She asked why I was hacking at the pepper like Lizzie Borden. I hadn't realized it, but I was directing a whole lot of repressed frustration at that poor pepper. I got to thinking about what I was doing and I realized I was just PISSED OFF at the thought of eating another salad.
What I really wanted was a big fat juicy cheeseburger. I hadn't realized how bored I was getting with my routine, in spite of changing ingredients. So, I took a few days off from salads over the weekend. I don't think I had a great food weekend, for sure, but it did break up the monotony.
Yesterday, we went on a field trip with school. The sack lunch that the school provided would have been about 18 points, and had no nutritional value that I could see. I chose not to eat it, and didn't break down and get something out of the vending machines. When I got back to school, I made myself a ginormous salad...
You know what? It was really good.
