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... |
Oh my god it is good to know I am not the only one who looks at cookbooks and cooking gadgets the same way! I thought I was just a bit sick in the head!!
My motivation for this is to feel better about myself. I love having to hitch up my pants because they are getting too big. I love the way my mom keeps calling me "skinny bitch". I know she means it in a loving way! I look at a
fat picture of myself taped to my desk at work as my insperation to lose it all.
