A few bad food habits have been resurfacing. You know that’s always a sign something’s bothering you. Face it head on instead of stuffing it down with cheese and chocolate.
You do realize all your stress is self-inflicted, right? You don’t need anyone pressuring you, you’ve got it covered.
Now, here’s the plan…
take a deep breath.. make your hot cocoa.. go to bed.. wake up and do your best yet again tomorrow.

What's Cooking in my kitchen?
-
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 [...] -
Yup. You read that correctly. BEET as in those red vegetables that stain your fingers pink. Honestly, I have no idea what possessed me to make this. I don't particularly like beets. I mean I like them, but I don't looove them. Two summers ago I made them for [...]
"@Nubiancooki darn! I don't think I have any popsicle ideas although I will tell you almond milk and sugar free chocolate pudding is AWESOME!— RoniNoone

Good for your for bloggin’ it out! Hope it helped and your tomorrow is a bright one!
wish I had read this before I dove headfirst into the candy bowl. (sigh)
Tomorrow is thankfully a new day!!
Amen. Sometimes I feel like a bird who keeps making runs at the runway without taking flight (i.e. saying today is the day that I will___________ (exercise, drink my water, not snack like crazy)), and then I crash land. But I think victory is believing that you WILL ultimately succeed even if today is crap. I just keep taking runs at the runway and eventually I take flight and go for a few weeks before I crash and burn. Like a phoenix though right?! Tomorrow is a new day and I’m gonna keep running at it!
Your notes to self always resonate with me. I feel the same! Never ever ever give up!
Thank you for posting that. We all need encouragement not only from others but mostly ourselves :)
Dealing with problems head on starts with a good night’s sleep. Good night everyone!!! :)
Someone once asked our Weight Watchers leader, “Al, does it ever get easier?” He replied, “It doesn’t get easier, but it gets more manageable.” I think that we need to remember that we will always be waging a battle against these destructive food habits – but we learn stategies for how to deal with them. We’re deceiving ourselves if we think that when we reach goal weight that the battle will be over.
I so needed this note to self the past two weeks!! It’s a great one.
you are so right that bad habits signal something else is bothering you. Good reminder for me! Thanks for sharing!
100% agree. I have to stop myself and often and think about what the real problem is. Sometimes i can fix it, sometimes i have to just breathe. Thanks for the reminder!
I’ve been experiencing the same food problems. I am getting better, but there is work to be done. I just wanted to tell you thanks for the snack free evening challenge you wrote about at BTL. Even though I failed several times, I finally succeeded. I took it almost 2 years ago and it is still a habit today. Even on the days I go off course I still have “no snack evenings”. I’ve been using your son’s lunch box ideas lately too. Raw turnips and butter beans have been in my lunch box too. Keep the good ideas coming because they have really helped me.
Hi Ronni its Angela I love your blog and I have followed it off and on for a couple of years about 3 years ago I lost 65 lbs. Got pregnant and had a baby lost it quite quickly but now have gained about 10-15 lbs. I feel like rebelling sometimes too so loved your video about that I found this article that I thought was awesome about a study. I really enjoyed it anyway you made me think and then the article was great too http://www.angelaluvnlife.com I wrote about the article. Anyway I love your blog and thanks for the food for thought!
If you don’t BUY it in the first place, you can’t EAT it. And if you are BUSY and working, you won’t have TIME to stuff your face. The end.
You’re SO SMART Cheryl. I’ll just remove all food from my house. GENIUS! My kids and husband can fend for themselves and I’ll fast for the rest of my life while working myself to the bone. THANK YOU I would have never thought of that.
Angela – Your link isn’t working. :( Would love to see the article.
Hey ronni sorry I bought the domain haven’t linked it yet I guess still trying to figure it all out, but my full website is http://www.angelaluvnlife.wordpress.com It was like two posts ago. Hope you like it :) It was just so interesting.
you are WELCOME- just here to help. (will correct spelling/grammar too if needed!)
Your’s or mine? Unlike you, I share myself (imperfections and all) to try and inspire others, not tear them down. If you have something constructive to say without being mean, negative and downright insensitive, feel free. If not, then please leave. I don’t understand why you bother visiting blogs at all. For someone who’s SO busy working and living the perfect life you have an awful lot of free time on your heads spewing your self-important, know-it-all opinions on blogs.
You have it all figured out. Why don’t you use all this free time to educated us all on how we can be more like you by starting your own blog.
It’s not “work” after all because, you know, us lazy moms who are home with kids can handle it and if we can I’m sure you, superwoman, can.
THE END.
Hi, Roni,
Just ignore the flaming poster. I (and countless others) have gotten so much information, encouragement, joy, inspiration, and humor from your posts. You can’t please all of the people all of the time – but you certainly please a huge majority of us!
I look forward to Worldless Sunday every week – you are a dear cyber-friend!
With love and blessings,
Lori
It’s amazing how a few simple words from you can give me such a change in attitude. I’ve noticed my eating habits are slipping and there IS something bothering me! I’m not facing it, just eating it. Thanks for the words of encouragement and permission to give myself a break and start over.
LOVE this. Hate the pit beef, french fries, 4 chocolate granola bars from yesterday AND the fast food lunch today. Hmmm…someone needs to face it instead of eating to avoid it!
