Blah Blah Blah!

It was shared with me today that if I simply ate really dull flavorless food, I wouldn’t miss it so much. That doesn’t even make sense. Some people can really eat just to fuel their bodies; I am not one of them. I like food, flavors and smells. Maybe if I ate meat I was told it wouldn’t feel so much like I was missing something. I even had someone argue the meat/protein issue with me. Like listening to some daily cow inhaler was going to change me. Really it felt like she was trying to convert me like the people that knock on your door with their special flyers…yes, like that! Some of my friends do make small attempts at this for fear I am not getting what I need from my diet. I think I was getting too much of what I needed and wanted and that is what got me here to begin with.

For starters-Since I was a roughly 3 or 4 years old, I have had issues with meat, it is not the cruelty to animals that made me do, it is my stomach that made me do it. I like sea food and will eat roasted chicken and turkey burgers, and really don’t feel I need red meat or pork to be healthy. I have eaten tons of red meat in my life and cook it for my husband all the time. It just doesn’t sit well with me. I also don’t think it makes my diet more boring than it is either. I really do miss certain foods and I know everything in moderation and that is true for most people.

Can anyone really eat just one cookie? This is what is making me nervous, not if you can eat just one cookie, but can I? It is almost time for my weekend Christmas bake-a-thon and I fear I will jump head first in to candy land so to speak. I am thinking of skipping this years baking, but think my husband will greatly miss his most favorite cookies that he only gets once a year.
Being healthy or trying is really hard.
