Eating the Emptiness

Posted by Loricious on 10/12/2010 in Main with No Comments

A post written during a lunch hour last Friday:
——————————————————————-
Although this is sort of ironic to even post about this, let me tell you one of the things that I absolutely must improve on: negative self talk.

I still have moments of self ridicule, of treating my body so poorly despite the fact that only moments before I was swearing that I would treat it better.

But I don’t. As soon as the wave of compulsion hits, I drown in numbness to awake to a painfully full belly and a sinking feeling in the tum as well.

“I did it again,” I think.

Some times, more often than not these days, I don’t get that sinking feeling; I just am happy that I enjoyed a meal even if it was too large. Still… I am not immune to self-destruction.

But when I eat to avoid feeling, to induce the numbing coma that makes life bearable at that point in time, then I just feel awful about it.

And the Circle of Crap is complete.

*sigh*

I’m trying to find a life line when I find myself slipping away from reality, when I want to bury my head in the ground and not acknowledge that I am a part of this world but rather imagine myself what I should be, what I could be.

What I am not.

*deep breath*

I am sad because I miss my Mr. H. He is back in the Midwest for a few days, and even though I am enjoying my Me time, I’m filling the emptiness of his absence with food.

I need to embrace that discomfort of his absence. I need to feel it, know it, acknowledge it, because the effort of trying to ignore the feeling tends to destroy me.

I deserve better than that. Mr. H deserves better than that.

I love him, I love me. I forgive myself for my imperfections; I will love myself because of my imperfections. It’s ok. It isn’t the end of the world, and much of the weekend is left to sit back and truly worship who I am and what I can accomplish. He will return, and in the meantime he will be inside my heart as always.

It’ll be ok.

Hm! I already feel better!

Losing Faith Science

Frankly eating clean is not easy when you are governed by a strong desire to instant enjoyment and bagels and cream cheese. Lately I've been really making the effort to eat "clean", i.e. the cutting way back heavily processed items. If I want to bread, tea of it. Rice can I do it old school – minute rice. In short, to force yourself to do it takes a lot of junk food independently and more effort than ripping open the tool pane. I've been having a home grown spaghetti squash roasted whole garlic chicken cutlets, Clove and yellow Onion chunks drizzled and served in bed in olive oil, fresh spinach, on top of each other. Actually that sounds like the Holy healthy, do all the food elitististä sniff-for himself and I think for itself all high and mighty dish. Fortunately, it tastes darn good because regardless of how the elite a show, if there is taste good I do not have anything.

But I have not received, you should be able to do your own bagels or even if I know how to do both of the cream cheese.

And the ability to create healthy, fresh food and not as a matter of fact, Wipe off Stouffer a convenient and pop the desire to call it a night.

What's wrong with instant food?

Two weeks ago, I have responded with, "Meh, no Moderation, see." But now I wonder if it is, what is the killing of our nation. Because we are * i.e. * Moderation but we will not be able to do otherwise. Also, more importantly, we have not really eating real food anymore.

Blame Michael Pollan and his manifesto In Defense of Food. His motto: EAT food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

Sounds easy, right?But it is not really if you think about it. Farmer's markets and the "clean eating" has just saapuisivat vogue; Grocery stores continue to try to lure you to the bottom of the page, you can quickly and easily with meals, there is little real food sections.Read the label (I know, you can do anyway). but not in the "nutrients".Read the ingredient label. Sara Lee and the feast of unleavened bread, such as Bread is really only should be a combo box, flour, yeast, water and sugar (if the milk, you do not even need sugar). [1] [2] Sometimes the eggs are Tossed the composition of the flavour, salt, but it is really is it now on your bread. see.

You'll then what is it? Bread is not the case. It is designed in such a way as to give maximum PLEASURE for us to remove the quantities of nutrients in the process of untold this science experiment.

Retrieving the matter shall be referred to the meat:
Book blew my mind and finished jäännösnäkyvyys fragmentation on any confidence, I have all the size of the face value of science, taking in particular nutritional science. [1] [2].One day, we are supposed to eat the eggs, then would not the bread is then more bran, then, is not to win but the margarine but now margarine is intended to kill us all.

You can only Sigh. Not only the PROCEDURE is not tired that they know nothing nutritional world?It's like biology community, than the fact that they have discovered the last species on Earth, for each, and then hold a brand new very next day.Of course they will not make these outrageous assumptions, but it is a nutrition and food science area does. they take the whole, natural foods, some of the ridiculous to the some of the overall content of heart disease (saturated fat), take it with food to replace something "better" (transfat) and stand there and wonder why heart disease continues to increase.O it is transfats.

Whoops.

No I am tired, that is to say, I'm ready whoopsies. "f-" for every last piece from the opinions of the scientist, that is, that they have it all figured.(Is anyone wondered why keep throwing down the card each time bullshit-scientist will tell you that global warming is human induced problem?GROWL!)

Do you know what is likely to not kill me? the entire Food originating from farms foods. [1] [2], which will lead to an increase in grass fed cattle Garden, food.

OK: so what to do if to go out and get myself to eat it, McDouble? goddammit. Cuz I like me sometimes, some plastic food.

But not for a long time. [1] [2] I'm not sure whether my eating choices of their own health affect too late (i.e., the damage is already done?), but if we start to face up to the family of my choices affect our children.

Some of the toughest choices for an extended period of time.

It is fun. (I) rely on the absolute truth and mathematical yet I know sometimes the 1 + 1 is not the same as the 2. My I believe everything I've Trusted ' m loses. Does that suck or is that the ability to inject the imagination and creativity, and the color black and white, in the light of current scientific universe?
