Super Bowl

Super Bowl!!! 

Normally Super Bowl is a day that I eat all day long.  My family used to make stuffed bread, appetizers, and a big meal.  And of course, I would eat everything.  I love my family's cooking, but it can be very high in calories.  

I knew Super Bowl would be a challenge to stay within my allotted calories, but I was prepared.  I realized that in life you're going to have high calorie days.  Sometimes you are going to have to let yourself be able to eat or else you will resent yourself and your diet.  This is a life style change not a diet.  I don't want to resent my new life style. 

Here was my plan:
1) I decided to make better food choices.  I didn't let myself run wild.  I ate healthy filling food first.  I had chicken chili with a small piece of cornbread.  It was amazing.  
2) Eat the appetizers within reason.  I had chips and dip.  However, I tried to exert portion control. I only had a handful 
3) Eat what was homemade.  This was a tip I got from Weight Watchers.  I only ate things people made themselves.  You can always go to the story and buy junk food and desserts.  I might never get the opportunity to re-try homemade snacks.
