Hi!
I saute my cabbage with onions too.....yum yum!!!
Thanks for the complements.....I'm still not used to people saying I look good......I like hearing it, I'm just not used to it.
My past relationship with food was very unhealthy. I used it to fill many voids. Food was my best friend, it was my comfort. I ate when I was bored, happy, sad, worried, mad, depressed, or to celebrate. I used food to make friends, make others happy, make myself happy, and try to make some things feel better or go away. I can remember being VERY young and hiding food (candy and chips mostly) in my bedroom closet........my mother eventually found it.....I had to find another hiding place. I often would say that food was an addiction for me but I think it was also an escape. One of my biggest mistakes was I would lie to myself....I would delude myself into thinking and believing that if nobody saw me eat, the calories did not count. I would sneak my food. How foolish I was.....ugh.
During the last 18 months I learned that I don't need to eat to feel better. Now for me food is only nutrition needed to keep the body going. I never say "I lost another 5 lbs, lets go out to dinner".....in the past all my celebrations revolved around food but not anymore.
I now find more joy in reading a book, finishing the daily crossword puzzle, solving the Sudoko, calling a friend, seeing the sunset, getting up early to go for a bike ride (I hope I can wake up early tomorrow, I have not been able to ride for more than 2 weeks and I can't wait to get back out there).
Let me know if you want to chat more about it.......

Thank you Ruth,I am sure we will talk more. You will unfold like a rose as we all share more.
It is interesting to me,the terms people use to describe their relationship with food.
In the end,it seems our childhood added up to the same actions.
I hope you go on your ride tomorrow.
....smile.
