a new day, a new lady

until I can wake up in the morning and NOT think about food! I’ve been wanting to blog about this for some time but just put it off for some reason or always had something else more pertinent to write about. A fellow blogger’s post got me thinking about this again and I decided it was finally the perfect time to post about it!

I can NOT wait until I wake up in the morning and don’t think about breakfast, lunch or dinner. What to eat, what to pack, what to lay out to thaw. And it’s not even so much the preparation side of it that annoys me, I just hate that some of my first waking thoughts are about food. I want to find a time in my life where I just co-exist with food and it’s not an issue, it’s not a waking thought. It kind of makes me feel like my life is consumed by food. And while it’s not really consumed by food because, I wake up - fix my oatmeal and berries, prepare my lunch for work and then go get dressed; then get to work and get busy until I feel those hunger pains around 12:30 or 1pm and I usually don’t think about it in between; there are some days where I count up 4 hours from whenever I ate breakfast or lunch to find out when a good time to eat is, and sometimes I’m just waiting until the clock tells me it’s OK to eat. Thinking about food. I hate that!

I don’t know, as much as I do love food and enjoy eating it, I see the art in good food, blah blah blah - I sometimes wish I could just take a pill (not a diet pill) but like some food pill - like the chewing gum in Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and just have my food all at once, it’d be done with - I wouldn’t have to worry about it anymore! I could concentrate on all the million other things going on in my life besides food, lol. Ahhhh, a girl can dream can’t she?

Do any of y’all face the same issues? Food is just always there on your mind? Thank goodness I don’t dream about food! lol…THAT would just be too much!
