Food is for fuel ONLY!
I do too, Kim. Preparing food is an important part of who I am, I absolutely love preparing recipes, creating new recipes and feeding others. I eat everything I cook, just in smaller quantities. I find great comfort feeding others AND they don't complain either, lol.

Yes! We're having a pie baking competition at work today because it's Pi Day (3.14) and I was thinking about baking it all day yesterday. I just kept thinking of all the fun ways to make it really special and delicious. It's a shareable form of joy and those are the best.

I love what you just said. Some folks would have you think it's evil for food to be a way to show love to another person. It's so not! Food is not evil. Maybe our use of it was not the most beneficial at one point but food is not evil!

I also bristle when I see "XX pounds lost forever!". I did that myself after my first WLS because I truly believed that. I was wrong :( I had to eat my words, along with all the other crap I was eating.
