Family dinner

May 20, 2011

For some reason my family still expects me to cook for them even though I am on a 6-week liquid diet  .  But I have decided to do it since I can then control the menu.  One reason I want to have this surgery is to be a good example to my children.  I want them to eat healthy.  That is not always the case.  As they became teens,  my son eats very healthy most of the time but my daughter does not most of the time.  She has issues with carb cravings and portion control. (Wonder where she got that from) .

So I had thawed out some Chile Lime Chicken Patties that I purchased from a out-of-town visit to Trader Joe's.  I bought them with the intention of eating them,  but never got around to it before starting Optifast.  I fry them up.  Daughter asked if she could have 2.  I said yes if you want 2.  She actually only ate 1 1/2.  She ate it without bread or a bun.  She had no carbs with it other than the veggies in the patty.  Maybe she is starting to catch on!
