Z is eating a brown rice cake slathered in almond butter right now (along with an apple and some grapes).
The rice cake looks good to me. With the almond (or peanut) butter on it.
I wouldn’t have touched a rice cake while dieting since it was a classic diet food. My rebellious side wouldn’t [...]

This morning I shared a delicious meal with Z at our favorite local diner. I wish all my meals were as satisfying. And it was diner food so not the epitome of health but I still walked away feeling good in my body - not low and weak like I am finding myself [...]

I feel like I am making way more progress figuring out foods I do not like (when I had originally thought I did) than foods I actually do like. It is frustrating. Not only did I realize this past week that my “beloved” Starbuck’s pumpkin scones were too sweet for me, but I [...]

I am finding it difficult to actually know the foods I enjoy. There are so many foods I thought I liked but lately they do not appeal to me. And I am not always respecting that, either. Last night I ate Ben and Jerry’s ice cream even though a few bites in [...]

So what are they?
I can think of a several but at the same time I doubt my ability to actually truly know what my body desires. For example, I love chocolate chip cookies. Or so I think I do. But they don’t usually make me feel too good soon after eating them. [...]
