Summer salad

So I was re-reading the BDS section about writing down your sabotaging thoughts so you can recognize them and respond to them. My problem with this is that when I eat things I shouldn't/don't deep down want to, my thinking is just "I don't care" which is a lot harder to respond to than something like "if no one sees me eat it then it doesn't matter. I know that I really do care, but I still can't ask myself what false thinking is going on there except for just not caring at the moment about something I know I care about in the long run. Thinking about this a lot will at least get me to stop and think some more about what I want to do when I say to myself "I don't care. I want to eat it." in those situations.

Summer is good for eating healthy because all I want to make is yummy salads.

Food log:

Dinner last night: quinoa from a box with seasonings (was mediocre, I would rather plain and spice it up on my own from now on) and taco-seasoned pinto beans with canned diced tomatoes in a sprouted grain tortilla with a delicious summery salad with mixed greens, scallions, cukes, sprouts and carrots with a dressing of lime juice, Bragg's and olive oil.

Dessert: two homemade rocket-shaped sandwich cookies.

Breakfast today: it is the morning of the month-wide company breakfast where there are free bagels and cream cheese, muffins, the standard continental breakfast stuff. I had a banana and a half of a whole wheat bagel from that which I topped with lemon pepper hummus and sprouts from home. It was a great way to have some free food and also take part in the firm wide breakfast while still eating well.

Snack: vanilla soy protein shake in rice milk.

Lunch: leftover quinoa and beans and a salad with baby spinach, scallions, sprouts, baby bellas and lemon pepper hummus. No need for dressing with the hummus! Two homemade sandwich cookies for dessert.

Snack: a half hand full tamari almonds.

Dinner: I was thinking of having some whole wheat angel hair with shaved carrots lightly cooked, lime juice, Earth Balance buttery spread, shoyu and cilantro and using up some old brussel sprouts as a side. That pasta dish is one of my favorites but one of those things I only think to make in the summer. I'm getting really excited about summer food. Brussel sprouts are not very summery, but they are very good roasted with garlic.
