who doesn't love food

I love food.

Sweets are my biggest weakness.

After giving up addictions and then having a baby, I came to love food more than I had before.

Trust me, Adam will tell me (now) how surprised he was sometimes by the plates I would make for myself when I was pregnant. I probably sounded like an ogre when I would say "I'm gonna ENJOY my pregnancy".

I did.

So mom, you were right (again). I regret it.

I have started weightwatchers and I find myself, once again, in a meeting where I must face demons head on. Now, I don't have a problem with unhealthy foods. I was taught to eat healthy and I do. I eat too much healthy food (and candy). The point is, weightwatchers has made me move out of my cooking comfort zone to explore new recipes instead of the simple one meat, two veggie plate.

This week I made beef stuffed poblano with an apple pico and homemade baked corn chips. Adam gushed over it and so did I. It was good.

It probably tasted better 'cause I cleaned and tugged him around at the same time.

Adam would eat fried food that was all the same color everyday if he could, but I think he really appreciates the work, time, and effort I've been putting into our dinners. He never forgets to tell me how much he loves my cooking. I must admit, I don't disappoint.

So, with all this effort I have lost about 15 lbs and I have another 16 lbs to go to get to my goal weight.

I just have to start working out now.
