Getting Started

Now that I've decided to start a blog that my friends can read & keep updated with me, I can't seem to think of much to say. Go figure.

Earlier this week a complete stranger wrote on Evan's Facebook account that I should sell my weight loss secrets. Um, I got lucky & have a body that doesn't like to put weight on. I don't have a comforting relationship with food--when stressed I lose my appetite. I don't like to feel full, so I only eat until I'm no longer hungry. Aside from occasional munchies, I rarely eat when I'm not hungry. I stopped drinking regular soda & don't sell myself the quackery that diet soda cancels out a candy bar. I understand portion size. There are few foods I find irresistible, and those I do I keep around on a limited basis only. I eat snacks in dishes rather than straight from a bag so I can keep track of how much I've eaten. I fidget quite a bit. Really, making food tends to appeal to me more than eating it does, no matter how good it is.
