You are my perfect chef! Your food not only looks beautiful but is so interesting and it is really challenging me to get out of “meal prep mode” sometimes and to try to create something beautiful like this that will feed my body. Sterling job! 

🥹 Thank you for saying so! I appreciate it. It’s taken a long time to figure out what I needed to know to get here. I decided I just don’t want to be “dieting”. You know, where the food looks plain, dry, bland, with tiny, unsustainable, unbalanced portions? I don’t want to do that until I reach my goal weight and then go back to what I was doing before. This is the standard. It’s my lifestyle now, my hobby. Food and cooking is my mental and physical self care. Now I only cook what I know I want to eat for the rest of my life. Something I would serve someone I love. ❤️  

So true! we need to feed our souls as well as our bodies. 

@blackacre I feel like your words are reaching into my soul and pulling my innermost thoughts out into the daylight. I know exactly what you mean because I adore cooking but I have been incredibly goal oriented the last 2 months so most of my meals are pre-prepared and then unfrozen when needed so I’m not finding them appetising. When I look at all of your beautiful complex and exciting meals it makes me think that my self care in trying to lose weight is good but it’s still a faaaarrrr way to go until I can intuitively allow myself to cook and eat beautiful meals without giving in an addiction. Wow, these roads are rocky at times. I just wanted to say thank you because I love looking at your meals. I find them very inspiring. Have a blessed day 🪷🐝🌞 

Aww Mrs D I really appreciate your comment. What we’re all doing here is hard. We should be proud of ourselves! Anything that makes it more fun is worthwhile. All the best to you!
