Cleaning the fridge
In the back of our fridge, is an unopened box of petit fours. You know those little squares of cake that are dipped in chocolate, decorated, placed in a pretty liner and packaged in a gold box. We receive this gift every Christmas. The box is unopened because in past years we have tried them. The cake is a little dry, they taste a little sweet but not that good. I sent the box with my husband on a mountain bike race but it came back unopened and I put it back in the fridge. I have know vowed to throw the box in the trash but it's made me wonder why I kept it in the first place. I've got to a point in my life where I cannot afford wasted calories. In the past, when I trained 2-4 hours a day I could pretty much eat anything and, so not to waste food, I would have eaten the petit fours. Now when I eat a treat, it's got to taste great! My husband has known this all along. If it doesn't taste good he won't eat it - perhaps that's why most men don't struggle as much with extra pounds. They are much more discerning in what they eat. So let's all vow to become food snobs and eat only the best tasting food. I'm signing off now to get up and throw that gold box of petit fours into the trash!
