The salad was just an appetizer
I had a nice and appealing dinner, thank you. I don’t eat salad for dinner. There are salads you can have for dinner – they tend to have meat, eggs, and cheese in them and they can be quite nice. But this was a lettuce salad with a few olives and a bit of feta. I thought it went nicely with the main course, the skillet strata. That’s a kind of a poor man’s quiche with no crust. It was so good, actually, that I am planning to make it again.
That’s my way of looking at the world. I have to eat and I want to be in control of my body’s weight. So I make sure that I am eating for the right reasons and that the food is worth the wait.
There are people who learn to think of food as just fuel and don’t care much how it tastes. That’s probably an advantage for weight control. But I have trouble doing that. I like blueberry pie too much. And too many other things. I have made that work for me by emphasizing the importance of physical hunger and its fulfillment. It’s no good eating a whole pie in one go. Instead you have one piece a day, and learn to look forward to it. Then you will avoid other foods so that you can enjoy the pie properly.
Learn about yourself and you can achieve!
