What’s your go-to comfort food?
Hello my friend ,
We meet at such a sad moment, I shall be very brief on this ~ go to comfort food (sob). To make myself heard I repeat ((SOB)).
I was always torn between corned beef sandwiches on white bread with butter and a layer of tomato ketchup, Heinz tomato 🍅 ketchup at that. Always made me feel good, of course only one thing could top that Cadburys chocolate, oh my goodness, now that was the closest thing to floating for me. Those two were my go to comfort foods sweet and savoury.
“There is no sincerer love than the love of food,” by George Bernard Shaw
But now the closest I get to a comfort food is a fresh fruit salad with nectarines or a freshly cooked chicken fillet with a Caesar salad.
Explanation well through life I have needed a lot of comfort food, yes needed, life has been difficult, is the polite way of saying it. Now the need is to lose the residue of the comfort food, also known as FAT, wibbly, wobbly , jiggly excess, surplus to requirements, scale busting, obese morbidly (yes according to the charts). This triple bellied hippo has spent the last 37 days surprising no one but myself, eating healthy food and loving it. No processed or pre prepared food just healthy (boy is it expensive) living.
Drinking water and plenty of it, gone from coffee, white, two sugars to coffee black one sweetener but prefer Stevia (all natural sweetener from stevia plant). Admit I still have the odd zero can of pop/soda which is ok.
I just can’t believe this snuffling comfort eater has changed so quickly. All it took was a look in the mirror and a realisation this is not who I want to be.
So I truly look forward to the next thirty something days to seeing less of me and as I am now 16lb lighter I will no longer be a triple bellied Hippo I will be a double bellied Hippo
Take care my dear
Yours a little lighter
Kim-Louise 😊
