Days of war

Apr 13, 2011

The past few days have been super stressful due an incident related to my line of work.  My job is already pretty stressful (pretty fast paced and have to be good at multi-tasking) so its been a doozy to deal with.  I've been trying to be more cognisant of my eating habits and I'm not really a stress or emotional eater.  In times like this food is usually a turn off for me.  I see food now as fuel as opposed to items of gratification.  Its a hard balance, thought, cause some nutritionists/dietitcians/journalists/etc...will say its normal for us to love our food and to enjoy eating.  After my first few sessions, particularly after the gastric bypass class, it seems like we're being taught to see food as pellets of energy.  Someone in my class commented about never being able to eat great tasting, flavourful food ever again.  Not so, says the dietician.  I'm great when it comes to baking and ok when it comes to cooking.  I just need someone to give me the low fat/no calorie version of cooking tools.  I know basic things...but what I'm going to need is some of those weight loss surgery cookbooks/recipes.  I've looked at a few different chapters locations and they never have them in store.  On my list is a great book I saw at costco: cooking with Quinoa.  Must buy it!

I haven't weighed myself in a few days now.  Since I can apparently lose and gain 10 pounds in the same week, I'm at super frustration levels.  Time for a nap!
