FOOD ENEMY OR FRIEND

Too often we got through life believing food is our enemy It didn't start out that way.Your Mom or Dad or someone made you the food and you ate it. There were things you loved

and things you hated

It was usually the same thing over and over. Then as you got older, you discovered new foods and found out some of those foods from the past were not so good for you. We mustn't forget the guilty pleasure foods

All and all we must stop letting food control us
I KNOW I AM
Now I'm not going to go crazy and start eating giants bowls of rice, but if I do decide to have a bowl now and then, I will make no excuses. I'm still not going to eat any peas (yuck)
But I will make it up in spinach, green beans, collard greens and broccoli
Not to leave out carrots, cauliflower, salads, etc
My highest weight in the last 10 years has been 283
With a change in eating habits Not dieting, mind you, I dropped to 233 It keeps bouncing between 233-245
Perhaps because I do indulge in some pleasures now and then But you know what I make no excuses for it. No one will make me feel guilty and I will not feel guilty for it.
I applaud those who can stand steady on a "diet" or a regiment of good eating
But please stop with the comments.
You know the ones
"Oh, this is so fattening"
"I really shouldn't eat this" ( as you eat more and more)
And for gosh sakes EAT YOUR DAMN BREAKFAST
