My Group Therapy

A group of bloggers and food lovers got together last night for our second "let's read a good book, have some great food and get together to talk about it all" meeting last night. We had a blast!

For me, these get-togethers are sorta like therapy for me. From time to time, I worry that I've got such a scary love/hate relationship with food. (It's evil. It's necessity. It's delicious. It's fattening. It's fun. It's fuel. I want it all. I'll never eat again.) But getting to visit with people who love and respect food in a healthy way makes me feel good.

Getting Over the Weekend

Time to buckle down.

It amazes me sometimes how quickly the scale turns on you after a weekend of not counting points. There was too much meat and birthday cake and fries at the theater. And, I started reading The Omnivore's Dilemma this weekend. Although I haven't gotten into anything scary quiet yet, I'm sure this book with cause at least a small shift in the way I feed my body. I'll keep you posted...
