RQOTD~ 5.12.18

Post by Tamara »

When you have guests over and plan on feeding them, do you take healthy choices into accountability?



I know this is a funny question but twice now I have PAID for dinners at a scrapbook crop and There hasn't been one thing on the menu that isn't completely covered in sugar and carbs. I know I have cheat days but it seems like everyday is turning into that. I understand if I knew the menu in advance I would bring healthier choices. I just need to get better, but I would still have to pay the dinner fee to crop. The first time last month they served: pulled pork sandwiches, coleslaw(which contains sugar) baked beans, potato salad but no green salad.
Last night the main dish had pineapple chicken, mandarin oranges and coconut all mixed with a sugary base whip cream. The drink was fruit punch, pineapple juice and sherbet with a fizz pop. Then giant rolls that were delicious but since everything was carbs it didn't help me. The dessert was strawberry lemonade cake and every place had a snack mix stirred in like caramel sauce. It isn't like I didn't try it, I tried to have a small serving of the main dish but I was hungry when I got there and the snack mix was good to just try a bit but it is like pringles...you can't eat just one. haha I passed on the cake but had a stomach ache the rest of the night with a total sugar high. I've had this for over two years now and I am still trying to "be good" but this meal was no chance for me!

I plan like if it was for me, since I'm very picky and there are foods that I don't consider good healthy choices. The only thing that I splurge is on dessert, but then again portion control is important. I like making desserts, especially when I share with others, that way I don't end up eating the whole thing. Hahaha.
I'm always sure to carry my own water or sugar free green tea when other people are hosting.

I do. My bunco group we have a mixture of both healthy food and non- healthy food plus dessert. I would have ate the pulled pork but skipped the bread etc. If it is nothing something I absolutely love I skip it anymore
