Food Log: January 10, 2016

Black coffee, 2/3 naval orange (shared 1/3 with Shadow, the guinea pig.)

Around 3 PM: 10 oz. plain, non-fat yogurt, approximately 10 oz. pineapple.

I deviated from diet at about 1 AM: Ms. D wanted tuna salad. That is a characteristic I do not share with her. Specifically, she decides sometime early in the day what she wants to eat later in the day. If she decides on pizza, she will eat pizza later. If she wants Chinese food, she will eat Chinese food later. Never mind what is in the refrigerator. Menu planning is impossible because it is impulse that determines what she eats every night.

My diet is determined largely by economics. I hate to throw food away. If leftovers are reaching the mature stage, I will adjust my menu and even deviate from my weight loss plan (read: diet) to protect my investment.. Ms. D does not share my perspective at all.

So, Ms. D wanted tuna salad and she wanted it prepared the way we usually make it. I was not about to make two salads, one with mayonnaise and one without. So we made the salad and I ate about 10 oz. of tuna (house blend of white tuna and chunk lite in perfect proportion) with spring mix, onions, tomato and mayonnaise.

One of the biggest challenges of staying on a diet is socialization. Like must be simple for hermits.
