My 90 day "no snacking between meals" habit I'm developing.
Day 1: Restart
Restarts: 2

Excellent insight, cogitation and right decision making. Yeah for me thanks to you guys being here. Last night before bed I was cooking bacon for the greese and scraps. I cook these giant walmart 'bits and ends' things. maybe 4 pounds. Anyway, I cut them in half and realized I needed to cook the other half that had been sitting in my fridge for a while. It was just starting to turn a little bit. Not bad. Should I cook it? Why not, maybe the grease will be ok. So I went thru my long cooking process and it looked and smelled fine. As it cooled I checked a chunk for taste. It tasted ok too. I literally saved the bacon
Before I slept the thought occurred to me, "Hey dumby, you at something not a meal. Was that a snack?" I thought, "Umm, I don't think so! Let me sleep on it." (ps I love talking in third person ha!) I got up this morning and tried to justify it as just tasting and was almost OK with that until I thought about other chefs, even chefs here, that cook with carbs for people. They taste too. It's part of cooking. What the DO do, I think, Is SPIT IT OUT. This was my insight. It didn't occur to me to spit out the bacon after tasting it. Not doing this could lead to a branch of behaviour that I don't have to want to unlearn.
So I called shenanigans on myself and am happily starting over, a wiser person.
See, restarts aren't so bad, they are only if you poke, prod and shame yourself
