Guest guest Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Hi, Patti. I'm not laughing, but I wonder about the choices you must make. How do you choose?

You guys will laugh because whole wheat and spinach and beets are bad for me but I can have wonder bread and vanilla ice cream. See, healthy is relative. ;)Patti Ohh! I love them with PB too! I haven't had that in a long time. I need to add PB to my shopping list. Why no PB Patti?RainSubject: Re: applesTo: IntuitiveEating_Support Date: Wednesday, July 6, 2011, 7:42 AM Funny you should mention apples. They seem to be one of the 'love-hate' items of dieting and IE too. Long associated with 'health' etc. I know I used to enjoy them but when I really had a choice (IE) I didn't want them. But after a while I found that I did enjoy them again - for some time, until I'd had enough and stopped eating them (again). I find that this is quite normal behavior regarding foods. They are so tasty when first in season, loose the allure as time passes and can easily become desirable again after backing off for a while. This has to be nature's balancing act - variety! A single focus just does not create a nicely rounded life ;-) Katcha IEing since March 2007 > > You are quite right, Katcha. Food has become the enemy or adversary, yet we have to eat. Our bodies and minds remind us that we have to eat. Writing about food makes me think about food and eating. sigh. I think SIMPLE magazine had a piece in it where it said that patients who ate 3 apples a day lost weight. Who would want to eat 3 apples a day? Maybe that's what's wrong. I don't want to eat 3 apples a day. I don't really want to eat one apple a day, but I could try. But that would be a diet mentality, wouldn't it?

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 That is such an interesting point, Katcha. I would love to try all the different varieties, and know how the seasons and growing conditions affect the taste of food. I am going to be more conscious of the taste of apples and grapefruits and try to notice how much do I really like them. thanks.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Apples with Peanut Butter. or Apples with Almond Butter. or Apples with Cashew butter. YUM YUM YUM!!!! I like apples with cheddar cheese. It makes if feel indulgent rather than diety, AND there's the added protein and fat to keep me satisfied longer.Rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I just look at the list when I buy food. As a general rule, I have to be careful about many fruits and veggies, chocolate, coffee, and whole grain. I can have small amounts but not a lot. Hi, Patti. I'm not laughing, but I wonder about the choices you must make. How do you choose?
