Everyone has a downfall. Something that, when they see it, must have it, especially when it comes to dieting.
For some it’s chocolate. For others it’s ice cream (not the healthy kind either!) and for yet others it can be junk food (i.e. fast food).
Mine? Gourmet!
My FBH is Italian and it is hard to go past any style of spaghetti she or her mother cooks. 2 or 3 bowls is not unusual. Then again, when I was in India last year if what was in front of me tasted good, I just wanted more.
Now that I am “Jenny Craiging”, I’m doing okay because the meals are set out for me.
As I move off Jenny’s dishes I need to begin to prepare my own. Tonight, FBH is making a curry. I’m in trouble folks. One bowl is never enough!
Why I write this is because I can easily pass up chocolate, ice cream I can take or leave. In fact if the ice cream is really rich, it’s easier to pass on. Fast food? Only once in a blue moon.
But gourmet food? (“foreign muck” as some say) oh dear! 
So, what’s your sin and how do you deal with it?
I’m keen to know. I’m about half way to my goal weight, my exercise is up but when it comes to gourmet food, I go weak at the knees.
Will I be strong enough to say “no”?
Will I treat it with disdain and maintain a good eating record?
Or will I be able to say: “Yes, one day a week is something to look forward to and indulge”?
How do you do it? Does it work?

Bread is my kryptonite. And my wife is upstairs baking some as we speak…
I try to avoid it in my day to day routine but occasionally I will indulge. The key is moderation but boy…for me one bit of bread tends to lead to another…
