I love food! Any kind of food! But the most tempting of all is junk food!
Now I’m trying be a new and improved healthier me! I have been visiting a lot of health bloggers to discover their tips and tricks for staying on the right track.
The key for me is to find balance with my diet and recognize that when I am having a bad day I should opt for the celery sticks instead of the ketchup chips. I know I need to find my happy food medium!
Do you have a positive relationship with food? How do you stay on the healthy track?
I think I have a positive relationship with food. But I have an especially passionate, highly intimate (though not kinky, I promise) relationship with junk food. Especially chocolate things, and salty things, and fried things, and sweet things, and *swoons*…. I suppose carrot sticks are okay, too.
Carrot sticks have their place just not next to the deep fried oreos
Make sure dark chocolate is on the list.
It is good for the heart. Isn’t it? And I should add red wine too!
My food desires are all over the map because I don’t have any idea what I can eat and what I shouldn’t. I would inhale potato chips until I was bloated like a an overfull balloon… Chocolate I would eat daily… maybe. Coffee – especially iced coffee or a peppermint mocha – I’d drink that all day everyday.
I think until doc and I figure out what my system is unhappy with – my relationship with food will be all over the map.
I have an addiction to coffee it is my guilty pleasure especially when I indulge in a latte with cool whip. I know my relationship with food is over the map so it is just a matter of getting it back on track and back to me.
I think I have a healthy relationship with food and my motto is “everything in moderation”. I don’t deny myself anything but try not to over do.
Moderation is key! And I just need to get back to that
–can I have it ALL?! X
Of course you can! Can’t we?
Carbs – bread and pasta are my comfort foods along with non candy sweets. I’ve been doing pretty good with Weight Watchers. Tracking so that I’m aware of what I’m eating helps me. Otherwise I’m noshing all day and not really aware of how much I end up eating, healthy food or junk food.
I love the weight watchers points system is a great way to stay on track! The best thing about it is it teaches moderation and it works. I made it back to my BMI since joining but lately have been eating very poorly. It goes in phases for me and I have to recognize that healthier choices for me in the long run.
Moderation…….I think is best
It is always best! It makes you put your best foot forward when stepping into that polka dot bikini
haven’t been in one of those in years..lol:)
Polka dots are all the rage
Gah, that just made me hungry! Let’s just say that my relationship with food is… complicated
I know the feeling
I’m sorry, but I gotta tell you, popcorn without butter is almost exactly like sex without the orgasm…
You know! I totally agree! I just devoured a the best bison burger of my life and it was better than chocolate
I’ve been on a major change of lifestyle. Down almost 20 pounds. I am not calling it a diet, because it is a total change of my relationship with food. Because, left to my own devices, I would have an orgy with food in a xxx porn film.
Hahaha! I know the feeling! Give me a cream puff and it’s out of this world!
For the last few years, I haven’t been eating much junk food or snacks (except for ice cream or my cookies)… It was hard at first, but once I gave it up, I found I couldn’t eat it anymore…
It’s funny it goes in spurts for me. The key is not have it in the house and it is very less tempting.
Genius, Belle
My relationship with food is similar to yours. Willpower is such a tough acquisition.
It is very tough! If there is a fresh butter croissant on the table in front of me. How do you walk away from such delicious pastry?
Very, very rarely
I think it is impossible
This thought keeps me Fighting the Good Fight: that the only thing keeping us going is the heart. It is a solitary motor that works without stop and needs all the help we can provide it. Actually, a healthy imagination can go far in keeping us healthy.
Also, I luckily have no passion for sweets.
Cheese, unfortunately, is another issue altogether.
I love cheese! It is wonderful! I just love food is my problem
You are right a healthy imagination and heart can get us very far in this world!
Wow, that first snack list looks like mine! I basically let myself eat whatever I’m craving. If not, the cravings just get worse. I just adjust calories some other way to compensate, and boost up the workout regimen!
I have started ramping it up and it feels good! I don’t think I will ever be able to give up my bag of ketchup chips!
Seaweed candy! Ewwww! I guess I qualify as a foodie since I love to cook. I stay away from processed food and cook lots of vegetables. I try to stay away from snack food but its hard as Jack loves it.
I do love my veggies at mealtime! But when it comes to snacking I am all over the junk food. The best thing for me is not to buy it
what are ketchup chips? never heard of them but they sound interesting.
It’s all those stress hormones that make us crave that junk food. less stress needed.
They are delicious and tangy! You either love them or hate them! I have a love affair with them. I need to cutback on the stress and get my waistline back
What is seaweed candy? I’m afraid. Very afraid.
I’m not sure. I suspect it is baked in the sun and is extremely chewy…
Strong black coffee, chips, chocolate and beer…perfect diet to strive for
Strong black coffee should be the staple of any good diet
Sweet words to savor and delight in!!
Good food and good friends. What more could a girl ask for?
somewhat uncomfortably, Food and I are very fond of each other and find it hard to stay apart
It really is! So many wonderful foods to taste and enjoy!

I ‘positively’ love food! I love all of it and love to try new things, new dishes, new recipe, new new new. If it is a dessert I will try to share it with the neighbors so that I can have some, the family can have some…but the rest gets shared and is out of my grasp. I started microwaving popcorn in coconut oil (just a small amount). I’m trying to cut down on portions and make smart(er) choices on menus. If it turns out that I need to be gluten free, then I’m going to revamp my diet and start a new blog. Also, my daughter & husband are on a healthy kick and really want to eat well….since we love all kinds of healthy food it shouldn’t be that hard. We’ll just go out for the decadent stuff and as little as possible.
I am the same way! I love food and trying new recipes! I’m sorry to read that you do have celiac and I know it does take away a lot of options. But there seems to be a lot of great options out there and I look forward to reading your new blog!
