I may never eat pasta again. Seriously.
Last week, I picked up this little contraption, called a Veggetti. I. Am. In. Love.
To be honest, even as I stood in the checkout line, I questioned how much I would actually use the thing and whether or not it was actually worth it. Yes, I’ve been eating much healthier lately, but I’m very self-aware. I know how many times I’ve gotten on these “kicks,” only to retreat to my old habits quickly. My inner Fatty was telling me that my money would be better spent on a cake pop kit. But, I’m not listening to that b*$@& anymore. Look where she’s gotten me! Besides, this is the longest I have lasted with any weight loss and health endeavor (4 weeks and counting).
I have made Veggetti more times this week than Lindsay Lohan has been in court.
Tell me this doesn’t look yummy!
We seriously may never eat pasta again at home. My five-year old picky eater agreed. He LOVED it. It’s that good. We had it twice with spaghetti sauce and lean beef, and once with sun-dried tomato pesto and chicken. I can’t wait to try it in stir fry. Plus, it’s good just sauteed in a little olive oil, without anything else.
After a month of eating better (more whole foods, less processed foods, less fast food, etc.), I am finding that my body has fewer cravings. I love the way I feel when I eat better. Those first few weeks of change were tough. I wanted to have some serious make out sessions with Little Debbie. But, I stuck with it and am definitely starting to see that reflected in the way I look and feel. So, if you’re struggling with making the changes you want to make- I know it’s hard. I have failed more times than I can count. But, don’t give up. Never give up on yourself. Don’t listen to that inner voice who tells you that you’re just going to fail again. Show him/her what you are made of. Kick her butt. And every time she screams for a cupcake, tell her to shut her pie hole and smother her with zucchini.
