Hello everyone!!!
So I know this may be a little bit late and it has been a little longer since my last post. Not going to lie I believe I have mostly been lazy! :) Still training but just a little bit lazy when it comes to writing.
But today I get to talk about food and who doesn't love food?!?!
Food is actually a tricky subject for me as I constantly battle the lingering affects of an eating disorder that took over my life my sophomore year of college. While it is something that I have overcome it is still a battle every day to remind myself that I am healthy and strong just the way that I am. It is still a struggle to look in the mirror and like what I see or step on that scale and not worry that people aren't going to "like" me because of a number. Despite that food has always been a joy in my life; I love to bake (I make a mean batch of brownies, cook, and try new recipes.
I have come to love food again and found my joy of baking and cooking again because I don't feel guilty for actually eating the food that I create. That being said I do have some favorites:
Salad: Yes I know technically it is rabbit food but to me there is something so satisfying about a HUGE salad (especially restaurant salads). Now when I say "salad" or "huge salad" I don't just mean some lettuce out of a bag with a little bit of cheese and drizzle of ranch. I want a salad with STUFF!! Cheese, crumbles, nuts, fruit, meat, avocado, etc.
Ribs: I LOVE RIBS!! Fall off the bone pork ribs that have been slow cooked in the oven for 3 hours, finished off on the BBQ with sweet honey BBQ sauce--oh and maybe a side of corn on the cobb.
Peanut butter toast with bananas and honey: There isn't much else to say about this it is just fantastic.
Power bars (nutrition bars): Alright don't laugh. Yes I know that power bars probably aren't the kind of food you were thinking off when I told you I was going to talk about food today, but they cannot be left off my list. I could easily eat three or four power bars a day if I thought it would be a complete nutritious diet plan.
Watermelon: In reality this should say fruit in general as I usually don't go a day without eating some fruit but watermelon is high on the list. I can easily sit down and eat a whole watermelon in one sitting--I usually feel very bloated and fully of water after but its totally worth it. I remember in high school my friend Jess and I would buy a half a watermelon grab two spoons and just go to town on the thing. Tasted so good!
