(1,353 posts)I have to admit to being a bit of a sauce addict. I mean, when I make spaghetti, I'll take a half cup of spaghetti and a cup of sauce. I'm not that fond of pasta or rice...I'd rather have more of what goes on them than the pasta or rice. I make a light homemade spaghetti sauce with diced tomatoes, fresh basil, a little oregano and garlic. Then I make a spaghetti squash. I fork the squash out of it's shell, put a lot of sauce on it....and I can have a ton of food for very few calories. I like Ken's or Newman's own lite salad dressings. If I'm eating a full fat version of a creamy dressing, I use the old trick of dipping the first 1/3 of the tines in the salad dressing, then spearing the lettuce. It really helps cutting down on the amount I use. If I eat pizza, I blot the slice...you can easily remove 25-50 calories a slice that way.
I really dislike excercise, too. I find I have to force myself to go, but I do. It is drudgery. I never feel "high" after I do it, I envy people who do!
