What I've discovered so far about my relationship with food is unlimited. My willpower is not. Oftentimes, what gets me in most trouble is comparing what others are able to eat daily to what I eat daily. Which, in my mind, seems meager. So, I indulge. But see, everyone has a different metabolism and I really should not do that, since I know mine can be a little… laggy?
So I decided to write a letter to all foods, as an appeal for help.
Dear Food,
I must first say that you look wonderful! And… I'm very, very much into you. I think about you all the time. But I have a life too, so I can't always be thinking about you, because that's just not good for both of us. So here I am writing to you to ask you to please stop tempting me. Be modest. You're beautiful just the way you are. I love you and will always love you. But please, I have other priorities I have to focus on. I'm sure you have enough people obsessed with you already. Help me, help you. I really don't want to be a creep. I hope you realize that this is a win-win situation. You could do so much to help me, and I'm asking you very nicely. Don't we want to savor each other? Isn't that much nicer than just making us a routine?
Please consider.
Please, please do.
Thank you.
Much love,
E
