Thanks to all for their super tips about the cooking. I plan to try each and every one :)
I want to talk a bit about food today. More specifically my little epiphany about food I had yesterday. I've discussed before that my relationship with food isn't "normal". While it has been my longest relationship it's also been the most dysfunctional. I started to think about that dynamic and realized, " Hey, I wouldn't stay in a disastrously dysfunctional relationship with a guy so how come I put up with it from food?" Next part of the thought: I have imbued food with magical powers. It can relieve my stress, comfort me, cure boredom, heck - cure the common cold, put a man on Mars... who knows. But the thing is... it can't. IT'S JUST FOOD. I have weighted (pun intended) food down with a whack of emotional baggage and honestly... it's just fuel. I certainly don't have deep seeded feelings about gasoline or propane. It's... just... fuel.
Sometimes I feel a bit of a dope that I reach these conclusions that, once reached, are sooo frickin' obvious. But there it is. I think I'm slowly but surely altering my approach to food and this can only lead to a more healthy me.
This being Wednesday and all if you're keeping score at home it's a total of 5 lbs now :)
