Why did you need two Notes to Self this weekend? What is up with you?
Good job going to bed early last night to "stop the bleeding." You’re cravings where insatiable! Even though you didn’t make Sunday completely Sensational let’s shoot for a Marvelous Monday. Yes, you’ll be out all day, just plan, pack your snacks, and journal. These feelings shall pass, you know that.
Oh! and never… EVER buy baked Doritos again!! Didn’t you learn your lesson already? You just can’t be trusted! They are your crack. Stay away! and stop using the husband as an excuse he’s got more then enough snacks that don’t tempt you as much.
Now get over this weird mood and get on with the day! Every choice IS a new one!

What's Cooking in my kitchen?
-
Finally my first Farro idea! I have to say, I love this stuff! It's chewy and yummy and, well, fun! I tossed it with what I could find in my pantry and it made a wonderfully satisfying lunch. Filling but not heavy, tasty and quite nutrient dense. According to NutritionData.com this [...] -
I've seen it mentioned in a few of my clean eating and healthy cook books but honestly, I never even thought of Farro as an option for me. I refuse to shop at specialty stores and I try to use only common products that I can keep in stock and purchase from a typical grocery [...] -
I've never had a tuna melt. Is that weird? I guess that's what happens when you grow up not liking mayonnaise. I never ate tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad. Honestly, they always kind of grossed me out. Then I realized.. hey.. why does tuna salad have [...] -
I have no idea where this idea came from. I was hungry. It was lunch. I had Brussels Sprouts. That was all the catalyst I needed.:) I decided to use a slice of real bacon to add flavor and little fat that would help sauté the sprouts. I'm trying [...] -
WOW was this good. I mean seriously good. It's not vegetarian so don't start throwing stones. I'm calling it a Garden Vegetable Burger because I use the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. It was this recipe on Allrecipes.com that inspired [...] -
I drink water 99.9% of the time but every so often it just doesn't cut it. I want something else. Something more. Something slightly sweet. Today was one of those days. I decided to make a refreshing drink based on the famous Arnold Palmer, half lemonade and half iced [...] -
The other day I made a whole chicken on the grill in pieces. It was delicious! Just a little BBQ sauce and an open flame is all I need to make The Husband happy in the dinner department. I also picked up a few ears of corn from the grocery store. They aren't in season [...] -
Let me explain so you don't think I'm making a chili recipe and just put it on pizza. I'm calling this vegetarian Chili Pizza because chili is what inspired flavors. I think I told you. Little Bean is really into, well, BEANS! We go through a can about every 2 days. Yesterday [...] -
I've confessed my inability to follow recipes here on GreenLiteBites many, many times. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I can barely follow some of my own and I wrote the darn things! I think most of my problem stems from not having all the ingredients listed and, [...] -
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza. I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I've used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off [...] -
This isn't a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can't believe how good it was! I've never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn't occur to you to cook it. [...] -
I whipped this up for lunch on a whim today because, well, I have a baby who's obsessed with three things… Cheese, Beans, and Avocado. No, really. Look... It's my go to meal for him so I find myself with beans and avocado readily available. [...] -
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives? Yea. That's the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it's suppose [...] -
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there's a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home. I don't have a beef with beef (omg The Husband [...] -
I'm a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one [...] -
The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...] -
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better. I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it... UNSOLICITED! Here's the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn't going to be enough for us [...] -
This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...] -
Did you hear? The Laughing Cow recently launched Smooth Sensations a line of 5 cream cheese spreads. There's Classic Cream, Classic Cream Light, Strawberries & Cream, Garden Vegetable and my favorite… Cinnamon. It's a sweet wedge of creamy goodness! Today I decided to use my new favorite flavor [...] -
Confession time, I recorded a 30 minute video making this with both kids (partally) 2 nights ago. I miss videos. I really do but they seem so much more difficult with 2 children. I'm also having technical difficulties with my video recording and audio syncing making it VERY time consuming to edit. [...] -
A couple of years ago I shared a modified version of Sloppy Joe's I made for a party. Everyone loved it but I've been wanting to try to make something similar for the family on a smaller scale and without the pre-made canned Manwich sauce. I don't particularly have any issues [...] -
Yesterday I was dreaming about a salad. Not just any salad, but a chickpea filled, cucumber, and red onion salad with a fun, tangy dressing. Unfortunately, I had no cucumber or red onion. Well, that's a lie. I had a half of cucumber but it was a mushy mess and [...] -
Dinner meals are getting harder and harder for me to share lately. I've gone back to just whipping things up without really measuring anything (this meal was going to be one of those until I realized I still had enough light to take some photos.) I've also instituted a few brainless meal nights [...] -
Three years ago I posted a video called "Makin' Hard Boiled Eggs" where I shared my system for, well... making hard boiled eggs. Genius name, I know. I'm smart like that. Anyway, since then I've gotten tons of feedback and comments thanking me but all the information is locked in a long winded 10 minute [...]

Of course you know that you are not alone. I am an empty nester whose husband works a second job 3 evenings a week. Last Wednesday evening, I went to bed at 7:15, simply so I would not eat another thing. Actually I ended up enjoying myself very much because I read about 5 chapters of a book before turning off the light!
Have you tried the teeth-brushing trick? That can usually stop you from eating more if you’re not quite ready for bed. But sometimes going to sleep is the only hope:

Note to Roni: OF COURSE those feelings will pass. The important part is that you already know that :) You know the saying ‘crazy people don’t know they are crazy’ ? Same principal. If you really were turning into a big, terribly lazy couch potato you wouldn’t stress so much about it!
Keep positive and good luck with your Marvelous Monday!
I hope your weekend was awesome! :)
LOVE the baked Doritos – they are like crack to me too. And Trader Joe’s sesame pretzels, I just can’t have them in my house anymore!
You have sworn yourself away from Baked Doritos like 50 times now over the last 2 years! I think you’ll be ok as long as the binges don’t happen everyday! ;o) I beat myself up over stuff like that too. . .but you wouldn’t have this successful website and be 70lbs lighter if you didn’t keep track of it. . .so write the post, worry about it then, and then cut yourself a break, you lost 70 lbs and have kept it off for a LONG time now!
By the way, I noticed you have an Ann Taylor ad on your page! WTG on the publicity! I love that store and I’m sure they’ll get a lot of business advertising on here! :o)
Merry Christmas!
Like you, I know I can never, ever snack on any of those baked/100 calorie snacks. I really can’t be trusted. Those things throw me off track quicker than some really fattening, decadent dessert. I would be like the queen of the baked crack house if I even let myself have one bag.
I’m impressed that it was the Baked! I think I would have “accidently” purchased the Buffalo Wing and Blue Cheese combination!
I am just starting out on this weight loss journey. Instead of starting with WW I have been participating in a program offered through my local hospital. I have been doing great – last Tuesday i celebrated 51.5 pounds lost since September. I have been working hard, sticking to the diet, increasing my exercise and working all the homework, attending all the sessions and learning. I see all my old habits now. I see how much I ate, before I even sat down to eat. I see how I used food to compensate when I was hungry, tired, lonely, sad, happy, whatever the emotion, I had the craving for food to cope. Now, it has been 14 weeks and I am learning, but I am still so unsure of myself. I know that I would go buy those durritos and eat them. and eat them. and eat them. Will I ever find the will power?
I linked to your site from my site for Menu Monday Planning as I am stealing your Salisbury Steak recipe for my family. I modified it by adding a cup of chopped up spinach…yummy!
I need a note to self for last week! Yikes self, stay away from holiday baked goodies. You don’t need them and half the time you don’t even LIKE them!
My hubby’s weakness is popcorn which never tempts me. However once I take the first handful I mindlessly eat more. Stay away from popcorn…unless it’s air popped with no butter added =)
