OK - I am going to level with you guys because I have nightmares of this being a problem, me keeping it a secret, and ending up munching down a huge prime rib.
I have been Vegan for about 5 months now. I went cold turkey, and have, over the past months, worked out all of my consumption of animal products, even the honey issue, and my attitude towards eating fresh gathers eggs from hens who run around this farm and roost in the trees. I have had no problems with this at all.
BUT
I do have a problem with Macaroni and Cheese. I am not around it very often, but when I am, I can't resist eating some. This goes against every single feel that I have - ethically and mentally. Usually it isn't much of an issue, because it isn't here at home. However, in the past week, it has come by me 3 times, and I haven't been able to stop myself. My daughter likes to M-n-C when we go out to this buffet occassionally. Usually, it is one of the few things of which she eats the whole thing. However, on Tuesday night, she just didn't want it. I couldn't get out of the fast enough, and I DID eat a few bites. It didn't even taste good.
Then, unbenounced to me, my husband bought home KFC (damn him) and got MnC as one of the sides. I threw it out, but not before I had eaten some. $H:T!!!!
MnC is a big comfort food for me, and has always been one of my greatest downfalls. I just don't know what to do about it. From what I can tell, there is no decent substitute, and, besides, I really don't want to eat it at all. It's not healthy, and it doesn't sit well with me. ;(
Please, please help. What do you do when confronted with a fatal food? I'm not talking about eating a bite of cake at a birthday or a mini milkyway at Holloween, I am talking about a food that is everywhere that you can't seem to ignore. It calls to you.
BTW, I like ALL MnC. The good the bad and the orange. I also tend to be a perfectionist. However, this goes against all that I believe and am trying to accomplish. I can keep it out of the house, but I would really like it to be a non issue, like all the other stuff that I don't care to eat.
HELP!!!!!
