Missing my old life at the moment!

When my son goes on a Scout camp out, my husband and I would always go to our favorite pizza place.  We would get a salad and a pizza with hot sausage, pepperoni and prosciutto.  Well, tonight is the first time we aren't going and I'm kind of sad about it!

The thought of eating even a bite of pizza is unpleasant but I still miss it for some reason.

I agree with Laurie, time to create new traditions!  

My mom and I used to always go on a canoe trip together when my dad and brother went off to a scouting event.  It was super fun.  Maybe you could start a similar tradition!

No, I get you 100%  I've been thinking the last few days how I miss sitting down to a whole pile of mashed potatoes and gravy- or a stack of pancakes with whatever....  It's the experience- the activity- the event i miss - not so much the actual food.  What is it with that?  I don't know.  What I do know is that eating that way will take me back to a place I don't want to be anymore.  The cost is too great.  I have choices now- I've made mine.  Can't have it all....  I'll settle for some.
