I had a taco. Sort of



Recommended Posts

My kids took me out to lunch. Happily they didn't have to waste money on my meal. It was taco day. I ordered 1 hard shell with sour cream cheese, lettuce and Tomato.

I ended up only eating along the sour cream/meat line and removed all the shell above it. So less than half of a whole taco. No problems it tasted wonderful. I know the person waiting on me was thinking wth? I finally enjoyed being out at a restaurant, I felt comfortable. For once I didn't think about food. I enjoyed the conversations MORE than I paid attention to food.

This is so major for me. I was the only one that cleaned their plate when out to eat.

Now I'm the only one leaving food on my plate (taco), giving it away or boxing it up.

I may eat a little. Dog has better chances with the leftovers, lol.

The inside of burritos and enchiladas are delicious too!

Tacos work for me. They are a treat. Two crunchy taco supremes with no shredded cheese are only 340 calories.

As a rule, corn tortillas, even crunchy corn, are better than flour.

I keep my carbs low enough I can spurge on a little taco shell, bread or Pasta. The only thing that gives me cravings is straight up sugar added products. I avoid them as much as possible.
