Have had two back-to-back days with eating out & not being near home. I've still eaten Vegan (as nearly as I can tell), until last night. I had a weak moment & bought a loaded potato pizza for the family from a local place we like. It is one of our family favorites, but is a little pricey, so we don't have it very often.
Even though I knew this wasn't part of my lifestyle change, I told myself I could pick off the bacon & if there was any cheese, I could find pieces without much. The pizza gets here, and it's covered in cheese...but I persisted with my mouth watering! I grabbed the piece and the corner that I felt had the least bacon, picked it off, ignored the ranch dressing & milk that is undoubtedly in the mashed potatoes & sunk my teeth...into the most bland, mushy tasting concoction I think I've ever had. Yuck!
At the same time, I was thrilled that my taste buds have changed to the point that this pizza that used to make me salivate now holds no power over me. Makes quick meals out less enjoyable and frustrates me a little that I can't really have any restaurant cook for us anymore, but it will definitely save us money and the family's just going to have to enjoy fruits, veggies, breads, etc. as the alternative for "Mom's not cooking night"!
