We (brisket & myself) were reunited once again at lunchtime today. Actually, I was reunited with many friends...brisket, Ken's chocolate chip cookies, pizza, baked potato, sweet tea, and banana pudding (not all at the same time, but snacking throughout the morning). And damn...I am feeling the effects. I have not consumed that much in 2 months. The cookies came and went like a hurricane...destructive, leaving me spent and tired. Epiphany time...I cannot eat like this anymore. I feel gross and extremely overstuffed, and when I look back and realize that the lunch I ate today used to just be a blip on my daily meal intake. No wonder I was a fatty. I know now that this is no longer a casual meal, but a MAJOR splurge...calorie-wise and stomach-wise. It is just not worth it to me anymore. For the last couple of weeks, down the home stretch of my two month sabbatical from everything delicious, I realized that I am OBSESSED with food. Why?? It is not like the food I eat is made by Flay/Deen/Morimoto, garnished with black truffles/fresh microgreens/best cheddar money can buy. No, it is prepared in a flash, with little or no thought, or taste, for that matter. I am not just a foodie, but I have realized I am an EXPENSIVE foodie. I crave the menus from Top Chef and the Food Network, not Chili's or Taco Bell. I need to curb this obsession and find something else to drool over.
