ICE CREAM

Okay so today I got a newsletter update from one of my favorite reality TV shows- The Biggest Loser and enjoyed reading this quote from the newsletter:

"One thing we are reminded of with The Biggest Loser: Families is that emotions often interfere with our eating. Do you run to the refrigerator for a "comforting" bowl of ice cream after a stressful day at the office or taking care of the kids? Does it aid your angry mood to chomp on crunchy corn chips?" Well, why don't you just hit me right where it hurts? Of course I run to the refrigerator for a bowl of ice cream every night. There is only one more thing more comforting than ice cream at night, but with a 4 year old granddaughter living with us, it usually is out of the question! (now for those of you who didn't quite get that, just keep thinking :) And as far as I can tell, as long as I am blogging, I don't get the urge to eat ice cream? (actually the real problem is I can't do two things at once, especially if it involves my brain and eating). When I eat my ice cream, I don't want any interruptions, No Mam, just leave me alone so I can enjoy the entire bowl. As far as chomping on crunchy corn chips, the only thing that does, is give my granddaughter ammunition to say "Grammy, your breath smells like corn chips!" I am sure that emotions do interfere with our eating, but if I don't get my nightly bowl of ice cream, then a whole lot of emotions are going to come out!!!

My problem is, I love to eat and read at the same time. That also goes for blogging. Before I know it, I've mindlessly put away A LOT of food! Loved the post about the naked man!

A few years ago when my boys were way smaller (they are 8, 6, and 5 now) I realized that I really wanted to concentrate on my food and I just didn't "feel" like I'd had dinner until after the boys went to bed and I could enjoy my meal without interruption. The problem is... I was eating with them, as well!
