Food has always been a big part of my life even when I was a little girl. Food is my own form of expression. I love cooking for people and seeing their faces of gratitude and thanks. Food can be representative of every emotion: normally Id eat when I was happy to celebrate and sad to comfort myself. My three favourite times of year are Valentines day, My Birthday and my most favourite is Christmas....all of which involve ridiculous amounts of chocolate.
This afternoon I was having a conversation with my partner and we quickly realised that alot of our time is spent thinking about food...creating food, critiquing food, cooking food, shopping for food, talking about food programmes on TV and so on. Ever inch of our being is occupied by thoughts of the substance that could some day kill me if I continued the way I was.
I need to stop thinking about food as much without actually sacrificing parts of my own identity or my own self. The fact is my interests lie in cooking and the programmes I enjoy watching on TV are often things like 'Come dine with me' or 'Hells kitchen'.
Dieting is all about training the mind, preparing my body for a new lifestyle (so far my body's not adjusted as its day 4 of this new eating plan and Iv done nothing but let off peculiar smells.
Its day four of the new me and I'm extremely optimistic about the forthcoming weigh-in Monday, fingers crossed those scales don't let me down because I know apart from the cup cake Iv just treated myself to Iv been on it 100% and pushed myself to the limit.....
