Had to reply to your response Dr. Hekier. hahahahahahahahah!! I loved it. The other response is this. Remember there are other ways to show your daughter you were excited about her triumphant kill. Mount the horns, blow up the picture I’m sure you have and display it in a prominent place. Food is used way too much today to not only nourish the body but to celebrate triumphs, comfort failures, reward good behavior, congratulate graduates, new moms, birthdays etc. That is when we need to step up, examine the relationship with food and figure out other ways to comfort, celebrate or reward. Remember that it is ok to skip the entree. I can say one thing, If you are going to trip up then make sure it is with something you really like otherwise you are still going to go on a search for that instant gratification that the enchilada’s gave you. OOPS, that was me, I meant deer meat.

Everything in moderation. Next time try a healthier alternative. One bad choice won’t kill you, but recognize that you could have had a healthier alternative and work towards eatier healthier for most of your meals.
Keep us informed with your progress.
BTW, not liking it is no defense, unless your 12 year old had a bow pointed at your head threatening you to eat it.

OOPS! We just had chicken fried steak with gravy. Does it help if its deer meat? My 12 year old daughter killed it. Also in my defence I did not enjoy it. LOL.
