I have found another recipe using Nutella that I really want to try! I will share once I have tried it out, but it is basically a Nutella/banana wonton that is baked. Everyone is raving about it on My Fitness Pal, so I'll try it out. Maybe even tonight if I have the calories to spare. :~)
You may be wondering why in the world I keep talking about Nutella on a weight loss blog? Well, my philosophy is that if we deny ourselves completely of the food we love, then it will only lead to bingeing on it later. I even went a whole year without any sugar and was convinced that I could not control myself when it came to sweets, so I should just cut it out completely. That worked for a while, but only temporarily. I am finally learning how to savor and enjoy a small amount of the things I love without overindulging on them, and it is so much better. I am still losing weight and haven't felt deprived at all. Yes, I have not eaten nearly as much of the sweet/salty snacks that I love, but I have learned to eat them slowly and really enjoy the taste rather than just wolfing tons down without even really tasting it. I am also learning to pick and choose what I really enjoy, instead of just shoving in whatever is on hand. I have been stopping to think, is that really worth the calorie content to me? Sometimes it is, but often times it isn't. That has been a big help. I've still got a long way to go, and I'm sure as I get closer to my goal weight I will have to be even more careful about what I eat, but for right now this is working out great for me. I am losing and feeling better every day. 100 calorie packs are my friend.
Plus, Nutella does have some good nutrition in it! It's not all just empty calories. :~)
