FLOWERDUDE's Journal, 12 June 2010

Still getting used to the concept that this is a life adjustment... not just serving my time in the diet pen. :)
I know that I will one day be less restrictive on my eating... ONE DAY. But I am beginning to let it sink in that I need to make the mental adjustment that this is permanent.

I come from a line of good cooks...and from women who loved thru their cooking. I love that image..right or wrong.. So many of my foods have memories attached.. and they are things like pasta or fried potatoes. I think of my mom and grandmother who always made these for me. I can't help but feel closer to them when I made those meals.. and eat them. Those things are (by my choice) "off the table" for the moment, but I honestly believe...the day will come when I can have those restricted foods for a special treat...and then right back on the regiment of eating for health not pleasure. But I do not want to face a future where I can't eat for pleasure. Just sayin'.

That's one of the reasons I am fearing eating off program a little less. Even if I give in a little.. it isn't the end of the world/diet.. just enjoy it.. drink my water...and back in the saddle tomorrow... it's a good thought at least... now to walk it out.

I'm with you Flowerdude. I have always been a cook. I even ran my own catering business for a few years. I am known for my cooking. I have been struggling lately with thinking that I will never be able to cook the foods I used to and enjoy it. I can't live like that. But I agree with you that we should be able to someday enjoy a favorite meal once in a while and then get back on the program. I just can't wait until I feel comfortable enough to do that. But for now I am going to try to keep chugging along.
