Getting over my love affair

That's right, I am calling it out, right here on the internet.

You see, I had two major events happen today and it made me realize something. I have been having a very unhealthy relationship, but all I knew is she always made me feel good. At least I thought she did. She is a lovely lady, many people look at her with lust, wanting the taste of her on their lips.

Tonight, I had a much more subtle lady, as I have always had, but tonight, I realized she is the right one for me. Tonight she was amazing, full of flavor and I would want nothing else to cross my lips. Although I will always have an addiction for her, and she may break me from time to time, and I may have to taste her again. Now, I know what's good for me, and I know it will be hard to break the ties with her, but I have made a life decision, to keep from tasting, or thinking about her often.

Okay, I am assuming everyone has figured out I am being vague here. Two things worth pointing out with my above statement. I am not a slick talker, but the above two paragraph's explains how people will talk. Now, I will tell you the above statement is true, but you never asked who, or more importantly what, "she" is. I deal with this a lot in business. Usually it is not this coy and blatant, but sometimes it is not far off, and it pisses me off. However, I love to use it too, for fun. I usually use it very blatantly, and jokingly, and hopefully don't get myself in trouble someday by someone not detecting the BS meter pegged to the right.

So, what was "she". Well, she is carbs, breads, pasta, etc. Tonight I went to TGI Fridays and had a pecan crusted chicken salad, and it was amazing! At the end of the meal, I was thinking to myself, now that I have quit carbs for a couple months, I notice the flavors of whole foods has become so rich and whole. The flavors are amazing to me. Also, I have found that breads and other things have definately been lost for me. I think I have finally kicked my carb habit and I am over "her".

Now that I am not eating carbs I find that my mouth tastes the fullness, as well as the subtleties, of the food I eat. I now could tell you the difference between a good olive oil, versus a cheap one, or compare a organic apple to a heavily processed apple and I will sit on the soap box and explain how the organic tastes so much better. I enjoy my meals more than I can ever remember, ever. I used to eat until I was stuffed, and then would feel good, I guess. Now, I can eat a modest meal, and I have no desire to stuff myself. The taste of the food is so rich and sweet, I am completely satisfied.

I know it will be easy to fall back in to bad habits because there are some things that will always taste good, but I am so much more satisfied with food today than I have ever been.
