Is it cultural?
As far as I can remember I could associate good times with good food. When I think a little deeper whats helped me through hard times? Good food.. I can even tie religion and my worshiping God to good food.. Sunday Dinner, Family get together, Graduations and funerals all had a bad ass meal that went with it. Now as adult trying to change embedded traditions has been the hardest part of this journey. How do I ensure that my daughters don't associate good times with food.. I guess recognizing it is a start?
Today
The day started with plenty of promise meetings and allot to keep me busy however all that charged and the day went down hill. Whats the first thing I noticed ? The food that's got me by and kept me full on most days was not enough today ... In being honest is it because I'm Hungry no I needed comfort for the adversity.. so on I push .. After lunch I met with my boss and he gives me great news about my job the to best words I could have heard extension and expansion. Now I'm coming back up the hill and feeling better but where does my mind drift ? My mind drifts to the smell of someone having a late lunch and it smelled amazing now im hungry agian.. Nahh Not hungry I want it because it smells good sooooo easily said than done.. So for the first time instead of turning to the comfort food Ive turned to prayer and my blog.. Enough Said..
