Eating More Fat At Home Resolution

January 6, 2014 · In: LIFESTYLE

Hamburger and Fries

So, this could be the pregnant woman talking but I’ve declared a “fat-zone” in my kitchen recently. Normally I cook VERY healthy meals at home and when we get the urge to eat something “bad,” we go out. Over the holiday, it seemed that we wanted something “bad” a lot. So in the spirit of saving more money this year as well as our waistlines, I’m going to be incorporating a few fat-tastic meals during the week. 

***Let’s get real. I see you at the Whole Foods salad bar making that raw vegan bowl of greens, sans-dressing. I know you go home and inhale a gluten-free, dairy-free ice-cream-donut sandwich every once in a while. Yeah, me too. 

I figure that making this stuff at home can’t be nearly as calorie-horrific as any restaurant. This is mainly because my butter knife hand has an automatic cut-off point. I physically CAN’T kill us with lard (except on holidays or when having guests over). It’s not in my DNA-possibly because I’m half Asian and my mother most likely did not eat anything like butter or refined sugar until her late twenties when she was living in the U.S. 

I hardly ever bought milk, cheese or cheese-like thing (i.e.cream cheese)…until I become pregnant. I want dairy like a newly skinny girl wants miniskirts. 

So I will buy some cheese, red meat and ice cream so I stop spending 4 times as much for it at restaurants. I’ll tell you how it goes…well, just look at my photos (or lack there of) to see how I’m “wearing” the new plan. I’m also one of those Paris-Hilton-esque weirdoes who if I have tons of food or “bad” things around, I have less of a hankering for them. That is the opposite of a roommate I once had to told me we HAD to hide all of our junk food in a basket, on a shelf that required a ladder to reach it (I gained weight while said basket was out of reach).

What do you think of THAT!? Does it make you feel:

a. Worried about our health

b. Excited about a miracle fat-diet

c. Hungry

d. Like you would rather be watching a Selena Gomez movie

P.S. Stay tuned for a new easy homemade salad dressing recipe this week.

    Love this post, Christina! I’m totally the same way 🙂 If I want something unhealthy, I try to make it myself (while also trying to make it sliiiightly healthier) But sometimes you just can’t help it! I say everything in moderation. I know it’s probably tough as a pregnant woman, but hey, I always say to feed the urge because if I don’t, I end up eating everything else just to find that same satisfaction I would’ve found in what I originally wanted! lol!

Comment READ and I’ll tell you where this motherho Comment READ and I’ll tell you where this motherhood stress comes from and what I’m doing that’s made me so much happier.

This is for my overachievers!

Once I realized what was going on underneath all of the over planning and prevention, I found a way to relax more.

Comment read and I’ll send it to you.
I had to believe that no matter what I was looking I had to believe that no matter what I was looking at in front of me (a dusty ranch style house that looked like an abandoned outpost), this could be my dream house. 

I kept reassuring myself that it could happen even though I had no idea how that would be possible unless I completely rebuilt the house.

Then I let it just sort of appear as I kept staring at the house.

Staring as a big part of having the vision come to you.

It took many years, but I’m very excited to come down the driveway each day.

paint and lime wash were absolutely transformational for the exterior renovation. 

As we play around the house, or drink coffee outside, I look at the house fondly and appreciate the beauty and how it serves us. 

Changing your beliefs we’ll set off a chain reaction for beautiful things to come.
Comment REWIRE and I’ll send it to you. I decided Comment REWIRE and I’ll send it to you.

I decided it was time to focus on my health so I started exercising and by week 3 I was quitting-this is from someone who used to be in the military and loves fitness.

Being a mom is different!

I decided to start with mindset. I did a specific technique and weight loss started and just got easier.

Being healthy became automatic.

I didn’t need more hours in the day and it wasn’t another job to add to my list.
I started this window treatment transformation yea I started this window treatment transformation years ago and I’ve been avoiding this part ever since. 

I finally ordered this curtain rod from the same company in a different size, but the color ended up being the wrong “gold/brass” tone.

Then I ordered these curtains and the color is not at all how I expected. I was thinking fresh spring and these have a dustier tone. Gorgeous just not the same vibe I had imagined.

It’s taking imperfect action that gives you clarity.

I could scroll until the cows came home but I just had to start with something physical I could look at and decide if it was a go or not.

Tell me what you think in the comments! I’llsend you all the details of this project.
This summer I took a break from keeping up with my This summer I took a break from keeping up with my own high expectations and then a newsletter that I write in the margins of my life ended up on a list with authors I’ve admired for years.

Coincidence?

“Top 100 Rising in Faith and Spirituality,” on Substack.
For a hot second I was a list with the author of Eat, Pray, Love! What!

I have to constantly retrain my mind to know that good things happen no matter what. I don’t have to toil to have what I want.

Yes, we have to signal to the world what we want to attract but it doesn’t have to feel like a burden. 

We create the reality we experience.

What would you allow yourself to receive if you believed that you were allowed to rest?
