(37,648 posts)I've never been a big lover of sauces, and I've always used dressing sparingly. I want dressing drizzled on a salad, not some salad to go with my bowl of dressing! I'm cajun, so I grew up with sauces, but I never cared for them much. I prefer the natural taste of the main food I'm eating.
I haven't cared much for mayo since I was a child and there was a rash of silly jokes comparing mayo to snot. I lost my taste for mayo during those days... luckily, as it turns out.
I save my calories for things I really love, like fried chicken. I just love it. I have it about 6 times a year, I guess? Maybe more. That's one of my indulgences.
You eat out I guess because you like to eat. I wouldn't say that I like to eat the meals I eat. They're ordinary, usu. I love some things I eat, but usually it's a natural food that isn't found in a restaurant. I had mangos for dinner tonight. Nothing else. Fresh, sweet mangos. I can't go to a restaurant and get several raw mangos, and even if I could, it'd cost a fortune. I got these on sale for 44 cents each. But I had a baaaad huge taco salad for lunch (hence the light dinner).
It's a struggle, but I do feel better when I eat closer to the ground (fruits & plants and no sugar or much fat), and eat lightly. Now, if I could give up sugar, I'd be set. That's another weakness of mine, but that's another story.
