Well, I don't know if this qualifies, but given the circumstances... I'm on vacation this week, though I'm taking a "staycation," just doing day trips here and there. But I gave myself permission to eat more carbs than I normally do IF I really wanted to, which honestly I haven't - until I went to an afternoon matinee today! Sorry, I just cannot do a movie without popcorn! I haven't honestly been to a movie since going to LC, so what I had them do was sell me the smallest possible bag and I asked them to fill it up 1/2 way. Got the bag and the teenager basically ignored me and filled it up 3/4 of the way, which is still a LOT of popcorn. Anyway, longish story short, I ate about 1/4th of what was in the bag and then just put it aside, enjoying the movie. Actually I put it aside pretty easily because while it was good it wasn't GREAT - just not worth the carbs.
Did a similar thing the other day while eating out at an unfamiliar Chinese buffet in another city. I stuck, of course, with the speared grilled meat, salmon, etc, but was surprised (and pleased) with how often I tasted something and put the rest aside, because again it was okay, but it wasn't GREAT. My criteria for carbs seems to have developed into it better be AWESOME of just forget it.
