Yeah, , you nailed it -- I was being silly (because I like to have fun

with things) but postWLS I have become much fussier about food. PreWLS I

ate like a shark: prowled the kitchen with an open mouth and swallowed

whatever fell into it. Like German Black Forest Cake or Banana Cream Pie: I

hate

them both but if I was over someone's house and that's all they had, down

they would go, and in quantity. Now, every once in a while I will " treat "

myself to a bagel (has to be whole wheat too, and it has to have a certain

texture

of freshness and not be soggy feeling), and if I can't have it with real

butter, then I won't eat it. Before, you could top any kind of bagel in any

state of freshness (if I could throw it against the wall and it didn't crack the

plaster, it got swallowed) with just about anything, and I would eat it.

Recently we went to a favorite restaurant of ours and there is a salad that I

love that is usually on the menu, but for some reason it wasn't this particular

night (grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!), and when the waiter told me that I really wanted

to throttle the poor guy! LMAO! So I ordered something else, and while it

was good, it wasn't " THE " salad, so I left most of it over as it was just not

making my mouth happy. I still wanna say that all this has not been

intentional or deliberate with me, like I sat and rationalized things

consciously,

but I guess deep down I developed some " rules " or really ironclad non-negotiable

uncompromising preferences, and for me it's not so much that having

preferences is a " new thing " , but that NOW I am adament about enforcing those

preferences, whereas before, I didn't. Weird!

It's a GOOD thing, for sure!

Texture. It seems to be all about texture. You can surround me with

chocolate bars and they only need to be dusted. Do NOT put a vanilla cream

covered with dark choc down anywhere near me. Texture.

Peeps are now safe with me, for a minute, because they are poisonous and

will make my clothes explode off my body. But it was the texture that caught

me leaning before.
