I want to eat the cake...
| Thu, 05-06-2004 - 3:59pm |
Yesterday was my son's 16th birthday. He got his drivers license. He is driving a car around in the great big, cruel world right this very minute! I want to eat the rest of the birthday cake...it will make me feel better... I haven't yet, but I WANT to!

That's twice.
Now just because the body does that with extra food doesn't knock creation. Goodness, look at the machine God made this body to be. Who knows if we have even find out all about it yet.

Yay on avoiding the cake! Retail therapy is always lots of fun. I have such a thing for shoes and purses. A great pick me up!

food has made people feel welcome, loved (hence the housewarming treats, new neighbor treats..)
Maybe gnome is not programmed to think that way.
BWAA!
So, in summary, for me food is often more than just a way to stop hunger pangs. It can be a celebration, too!

Yes, but the trick is learning how to have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too, in other words how to have the celebration and eat things that taste wonderful without making bad food choices. Some are better than others, is all.

Moderation, yes...but not just moderation. I think there **are** some bad foods, or at least foods which are not too healthy for us and could even shorten life. Eating trans-fats (which you'll find in most packaged food) is a good example. I mean, who needs artery cloggers! I don't, and life not only tastes better without a lot of prepackaged stuff...life might even last a little longer with the simple elimination of them. Anyway, I try hard to do that.
And I'm all for having one's cake AND eating it too. Cake is a good example. I wouldn't eat cake very often at all, but for a birthday or something like that there's nothing to quite compare with a **homemade** angel food cake (low in calories, and ABSOLUTELY NO FAT) and then you poke holes into it and top with berries which, maybe, have been marinating. There are other ways, of course, to enjoy one's **cake** without blowing the calorie bank, and without eating unhealthy foods, but I kinda like that one myself.
