| Such creamy goodness! |
I have had an
aversion to tomato soup since I was a kid. As I said previously, it was one of
the only things my Dad knew how to make on Saturday morning. He paired it with
grilled cheese, a hot dog, or a peanut butter and jelly sammy and that was the regular
lunch on the weekends. I also developed an allergy to raw tomatoes as they made
me itch. So I was worried about making this dish.
I am admitting that
I was dead wrong. This is not
anything like the red and white labeled tomato soup of my childhood. I made it
with petite diced tomatoes so that maybe it wouldn’t bother me as much if I ate
a bite.
Not only did it not
bother me, but this was amazing. You just MUST try this soup. It is restaurant level and creamy. This
is definitely a first for me.
Why Weight?
Saboteurs
are everywhere. They are not intentionally cruel or mean-spirited but actually
trying to be encouraging. They make suggestions like, “It’s okay to try just
one,” or “today doesn’t count because you’ve been so good.” What they don’t
understand is that when you have to work so hard just to lose one pound, a set
back can be devastating. I appreciate that they are being thoughtful, but there
is some advice that is not always appreciated.
I
have thought long and hard on how to handle this better than I have in the
past, and I’ve decided that the way to go is to graciously thank them but pass
on the offer.
