I love to eat, cookbooks and cooking magazines are my porn - cooking gadgets are like my sex toys ... Cooking has been someting I've loved to do since I was tall enough to reach the knobs on the stove... Eating is something else I enjoy very much.. Some people eat to live... I'm one of those that lives to eat... to try something new, or to play with a spice combination I haven't played with before is fun and totally enjoyable for me... I don't see me ever being apathetic about food... I have, however, over the past year, learned a lot about portion control and moderation.. There's nothing I won't have anymore, but I will go for quality over quantity, and am still teaching myself to slow down whilst eating so i can enjoy yhe flavor and appreciate the quality... rather than shovelling the food i as fast as possible.

It's not been an easy thing to do, and it challenges me every single day... but the rest of my life is a long time - well sort of anyhow, so I can be a little patient...
