I know this is an inane post, but I just gotta tell you. I am so incredibly in love with food now. I thought I was in love with food before, but looking back on it I was in love with eating and it didn't matter what it was and I rarely even remembered it 5 minutes later. Who needs tastebuds? Anything creamy, fatty, salty, crunchy...and the more, the better.

I just had 1/3 bagel (I cut it the horizontally three ways...but usually I omit it altogether) with f/f cream cheese, smoked salmon, purple onion, vine ripened tomatoes and capers. I swear, at the first bite, had it been a man, I would have bonked him! I don't gobble anymore, swallowing before I've finished chewing, fork halfway to my mouth before I've swallowed. I actually put down the fork and savor. Probably the fork would fall out of my hand if I didn't put it down LOL!

It's obscene to love food so much.

If you had told me "I will show you a way that you love your food a thousand times over and youl will lose weigh to goal and maintain with relative ease", I would tell you to go to hell. I was going to soften that, but after all of our failed attempts, there is no softening the frustration we felt.

I still can't believe it. So many different foods to explore, so many new experiences around food that don't revolve all you can eat barfets.

I am in (skinny) pig heaven!

WOW! I thought this post was going to be about my favorite movie with Cary Grant and Debora Carr. Imagine my shock. Your post was way better than the movie. I can't wait to experience me some of that. hahahah.

Vicki,

You are so right about really enjoying what something acually tastes like now.
My first bite of my husbands hamburger about a week ago was like pure heaven, and I savored every taste. Hehehehe so much so I tryed another bite. I was then full.....
On the other hand I know I still have that fear of failing, I am in another slump and get get over that 260 pound mark. I so want to be in the fifties!!!!!!
I am going to attempt a very busy walk weekend...maybe that will help.

Thanks for you thoughts, they really hit home with me...

Vicki, you really should think about pursuing some kind of career in writing. You have a deffinate talent for it. Right now I am not to the point where I have much of a love for hardly any foods, but I can understand your point about thinking that before you had an affair with good food when it was simply quantity instead of quality. I thought that when I had surgery it would be a cheaper grocery bill, but it hasn't gone down at all since I am more picky about what I put in my body and what goes down my mouth. I look forward to enjoying eating again...I know it will happen someday...just not today.
