Confessions of a Food Lover!

Okay, I'm going to out myself right now. I'm sort of a vegetarian, SORT OF. Most of the time! I LOVE healthy foods! Given the choice between fresh fruit and artificial sugar, I'll take the fresh fruit! I love salads! I CRAVE produce! I do NOT like beef. I love almonds, beans, grains, juice and all that "good for you" stuff! MOST DAYS!
At this percise moment, however, all of that has gone out the window; I'm sitting here in my beautiful living room enjoying the Sunday morning sunlight, a gorgeous cup of delicious black coffee & perfectly cooked, cripsy BACON! Oh yeah, you heard right, BACON! And it's so damn good!

Most of the time, I don't care for meat; my body feels better all the way around when I don't eat meat! I have no desire for beef what so ever, and the thought of most meat makes me go all yucky. But, I do love my pork! A Jewish girl I ain't!Bacon and coffee, in my opinon, is one of the BEST flavor combinations EVER! The crispiness and smokiness of the bacon together with the strong, bold flavors of a good cup of coffee!!! Oh, it just doesn't get better than that! The simpliest things in life make it downright enjoyable! Oh Lordy! Here's the REAL confession though, I also ate bacon yesterday too! *Shh... When I woke up, my sweetheart, Colin, had breakfast ready & waiting for me downstairs! Eggs, Bacon & Coffee-what a sweetheart! First off, any meal that I don't have to personally make or clean up after is a meal I'm all over! (I do enjoy cook though, very much!) And the fact that Colin and I are not really breakfast people to begin wtih, the gesture was rather sweet! I devoured the bacon yesterday and I'm back at it again this morning! I know it's NOT healthy, and I know my stomach will seek revenge on me later; but right now, oh, who cares! It's so yummy! (But because I'm doing this with the knowledge that it won't feel good later, I now have relinquished my right to complain!) I love my french fries too, and Frosted Flakes and doughnuts! And I like candy, not as much as I used too, but a good piece of Dark Cholocate or a handful of Skittles--yum! I like those doughtnuts and french fries, especially, A LOT! Nothin' like 'em!

So, 90% of the time, I'm all healthy--even a health nut, some might say! And the truth is, my body forces me to be that way. When I eat great, I feel great, and when I eat crap, I feel like crap. I've spent a lot of my life feeling like crap, so now , most of the time, I do whatever possible to avoid feeling that way. But, sometimes, once in a great while, you have to LIVE!
Life is just too short to NOT enjoy and induldge occasionally! Food is my indulgence, my luxary and my treat to myself! That is what I do for myself; I don't get my hair or nails done, or house cleaned or a professional massage. I don't buy new clothes or shoes (very often) and I'm fairly low-maintance. But, food, that is how I treat myself. I ENJOY MY FOOD! And without a doubt, food is one of the greatest pleasures, and comforts in my life! That may be wrong or dangerous, but I don't care! I keep it healthy and in check most of the time, but you know, all (dietary) work and no (cheating) play makes this girl very cranky! So, for today, I'll have my bacon and eat it too! And I plan on enjoying every last morsel of it!

In Light N' Love,
