Wednesday food log:
yes, yes, I've fallen behind.
Two cups of Irish breakfast tea with milk
One blueberry muffin
One relatively small mixed vegetable roti
One cup of tea with milk (some kind of black, caffeinated tea, but I don't remember what kind)
Two cups of caramel tea
One sip of French vanilla milkshake
1/2 piece of rhubarb/strawberry pie (shared with lumo
Spaghetti with homemade tomato sauce that totally had beets in it
Two pieces of baguette
Three cups of vanilla rooibos tea
Several (I didn't count) vanilla sandwich cookies
One thing I've noticed is that a lot of people are feeling like they're being judged on what they eat, or like they're being "bad" for eating sugar, fat, large portions, whatever.
My issue is different - I sometimes use eating as a coping mechanism, but more often I use NOT eating to cope. It's not a very effective coping mechanism for me, because when I don't eat enough I have a harder time functioning. So when I write these lists, I am looking to see what is missing - what am I not eating enough of, how many meals was that, etc.
I am also aware that I am a feeder - I often express my love with food, or bring people treats as a sign of affection (or to make them like me - as with my pet rats or the cranky cat in my house).
One question: the Thunder Thighs icon - how do you feel about it? Be honest.
