What this Blog is Not..
This blog is supposed to be fun. It is not meant to be diet advice or advice of any sort. One of the things I am realizing is that I depend so much on the advice of experts or of diet websites, that I have stopped listening to myself and my body. And when that happens, when all I think about is what I should be doing, or that I should(n't) be hungry, or that I should eat this and not that, I become unhappy. I need to do what works for me, and you do what works for you. So consider all of these playful suggestions, and nothing more. Fun ways to add variety if you so choose. You certainly don't need ANOTHER person telling you how to eat or live. BUT I may however sometimes mention things that I do, like what I like to eat as a pre-workout, or how I trick myself into drinking more water. But I will never, ever, ever say these things in a didactic, condescending tone, or in one of authority. After all, most of us are in the same boat of trying to live and eat well (without gaining pounds) :)

Oh how I love you (not in a creepy way) for saying that!!! Thank you!!
For some reason what you said clicked with me! I have been reading so much stuff that I really did stop listening to my body, now I am listening to it and it is hungry! I'm going to have some cereal! Heehee!
Thanks again!
I'm so glad that you understand what I mean! There is just no way for me to know what works for you and vice-versa. Science only goes so far; we're unique in our bodies, digestion, metabolism, and attitudes towards food. Enjoy your cereal and I hope that you continue to read and enjoy (and comment on) this site!

YAY someone who feels the same way I do. Sure there are many of us out there, but we don't tend to come together enough. I am tired of people saying, 'because you are a runner you need to eat X amount of calories' but then others being mean and saying 'you shouldn't be eating that much'. I eat when I am hungry and that is what everyone should do!! Sure, I do wish that people would eat more healthy foods, but I can't change the world, but I have noticed that we can inspire others and that matters. We just need to inspire them properly, not with crap (not like we would), but by telling them to listen to their bodies. If you are tired, you are tired, take a rest, if you are sick, lie down...and if you are hungry EAT!
Ahhhh...I feel a million times better today! I have had about two months of struggling with what I read and what I feel. For some reason everything you said in that post made me realize!
Thank you for that!! I will be back here tons because I love food and I love experimenting with it!!
Thanks :)
