Re: Mistake at pizza restaurant
In Response To: Re: Mistake at pizza restaurant ()

I never used to get appetizers because I had to leave room for dessert. (I used to check out the desserts first before deciding how hearty a dinner to order for the same reason.) I remember thinking after I stopped eating sugar that now I could order appetizers. I usually don't, though, except perhaps a salad. I will order extra sides or change the side that comes with my order to another side that I see on the menu.

There's one nice restaurant that we go to for special occasions, and they will bring around a dessert tray, and I appreciate how pretty some of them are.. If my husband asks me, I will help him make a selection (he doesn't always get one) and sometimes I will sniff his dessert. I enjoy the smell, unless it's sickeningly sweet, but it doesn't occur to me at all to want to eat it. That is a change that just happened naturally from doing the program. I didn't have to work at it at all. If you keep doing it, the temptation just goes away, and fancy desserts become works of art and not foods. (Same thing when I watch The British Baking Show - I appreciate the skill and imagination of the bakers but it doesn't make me want to eat anything sweet.)
