Tasty....

[Guest guest]

I'm posting a lot today too... 1/2 day off... I was just getting some lunch

together; mashed up some local strawberries and tasted them for sweetness. They

tasted so good my knees literally went weak for a moment.

So... rather than put them away and focus on a more balanced meal, I sat down

with the whole bowl to go where I needed to go with it. Ate two or three more

bites and then I was done. Just didn't want any more. That's so strange; I

thought I'd want to eat at least half of them. But apparently my taste buds got

what they wanted, now my body wants something more substantial.

Am working with re-learning all of my hidden food rules. Last night I'd wanted

this green bean salad I've been making a lot and eating lately. Then I

thoought, " this doesn't have enough protein in it " and didn't really want to

figure out what would go with it. So I started to fix a stir fry. The minute I

put the meat in the pan, I knew that wasn't what I really wanted to eat.

But.... I made myself into a garbage disposal and ate it anyway. And, it

totally didn't work for my body.

Even though I have it in my head that stir frys are a good meal; they don't

digest well for me. Foods that don't work for me throw off my system and then

I overeat to try and quash weird food feelings I get from them. Anybody else

relate to that?

I'm also working with the idea of forbidden versus " really messes up how I

feel " . I've got a ton of food rules in my head and am working to sort out what

works for me from what has rules around it. It's gonna take some time as

they're all jumbled up.

Just ate my bean salad again... Yum! Gotta run; now I have to go work.
