Grandma doesn't love you just because you eat her cookies
WHY do we waste calories on foods we don't love? I just ate 4-5 coconut oatmeal cookies that weren't even good very good. But grandma made them and brought them to me saying "Merry Christmas" and the next thing you know, I'm eating them. For some reason, my brain said, "You HAVE to eat these! Your sweet grandma made them for you!" UGH! I'm going to brush my teeth and go to bed! Lesson learned: "If you don't love it and if you don't have the calories for it and if isn't good for you, get it OUT OF YOUR HOUSE!"

'Get it out of your house' - This is my approach. I can't have bad stuff in the house. I have cleared it all out and the kids eat the same as me. Luckily I have great kids and they have not grown up eating or craving junk food. My daughter baked a cake a couple of weeks ago and then took it out of the house when she left to go to her mothers.. loved that she did that :)
ReplyDeletelol the false sense of obligation... it gets us all the time... throw in sweet little grandmas and its all over.
ReplyDeleteYup, we've all done it. Ugh. I find that if I can't get rid of the item, then I freeze it and I often find that I forget about it and it ends up in the composting months later - no guilt then! ;)

Admire the cookies, give thanks and oddles of love to granny while you put them in the trash, feed them to the dog . . . .Tell how how delicious they were. It is a lie that you will never be called on the carpet for when you go to your Maker. LOL
ReplyDeleteI too do this eat something people give me because I don't want to insult them. I also think it's cause when I was little my mom and dad would always say just try a piece, Grandma cooked it just for you..old habits die hard.
