"I refuse to spend my life worrying about what I eat. There's no pleasure worth foregoing just for an extra three years in the geriatric ward." -John Mortimer
We all do it, let's be honest. You have a hellacious week, and what you are putting into your mouth is the last thing on your mind. Welcome to the past week for me. I don't even want to admit the things I was eating, but, for the sake of fun and entertainment...let's do it.
I don't know if I should start at the Happy Buffet where I ate a boatload of tempura and all things fried, or the number of stops at fast food joints. Happy FRIED February. Even as I sit here I am thinking about how great a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit from McDonald's would be right now. Gross. What is wrong with me?!?!
These are the weeks when I know I have to show myself a little grace. We all go there, the blipp off the radar. We fall off the bandwagon. We get off the beaten path. Ok, I'm sorry, that was a little overboard.
I didn't even get a single daggone blog in this week, and I know how much each and every one of you was waiting with bated breath for your email box to announce it. I even made a really really good Greek Chicken and Rice Soup which was killer. I'll add it, I promise.
Can I be forgiven? Thank you so very much. This week will be better. We all are so hard on ourselves when it comes to food and what we "should be eating" and how much and etc. DON'T be so hard on yourself all the time. Eat McDonald's that one day...trust me, you'll remember afterwards why you stopped eating it in the first place.
On the topic of food and grace, I leave you with a visual of what I saw this week as I was coming out of the buffet. Imagine large duplex. One side was a sports bar and grill, and the other was a Christian preschool whose slogan was "We are here to serve." Now there's some food for thought....
no pun intended. :)
Enjoy the day!
