A Thought
I'm fighting a terrible cold so I don't have it in me for the long post I'd like to do tonight. But I did want to share with you all something from a fantastic article I read in the February 2006 issue of Yoga Journal. As an aside, if you're really in dire need - and from some of the emails I've gotten over the past two days, some of you are - of some reading material that addresses the whole body and diet issues from a place of real substance, of peace, then I can't recommend Yoga Journal enough. You don't have to be into Yoga to enjoy it; after all, I only take a Bikram yoga class once a week, if I'm lucky. Anyway, the article: "Fear Factor," by Ingrid Cummings, discusses how Yoga-like thinking can revolutionize the way we eat. It's a wonderful piece; this especially spoke to me today: "Lovingkindness is what Americans so desperately need. We won't be healthier about food until we learn to love it more, not less - with, as [Michelle Stacey, author of Consumed: Why Americans Love, Hate, and Fear Food] says, "a relaxed, unashamed emotion." Can we ever really relax around food? Can we ever just let it be food? Can we love it without going all Lennie on it? I've spent the past three years "training" myself to not allow food be the central preoccupation of my thoughts but here I am again and I'm practically fixated on the fact that I only have 1.5 POINTS left for the day and how in the hell am I going to use them. Fuck - it's 8:30 p.m. and I'm not even hungry. Why do I need to eat something anyway? Posted by Erin at 08:02 PM | filed under: Random commentsErin, did you do a lot of walking, too? I think a huge problem we have here in North America is that the only time we get any physical activity is if we force it upon ourselves. Moving is not a way of life here. One of my goals for this year is to walk more and drive less; I live in close proximity to EVERYTHING and near fantastic public transportation. I need to walk more. posted by: Erin at January 27, 2006 10:37 AM I did indeed! I lived on the 8th floor of a building in which the elevators were frequently broken, and I walked about a mile each way to work or to the shuttle which would take us to rehearsals (I'm a singer). It's funny - there were NO gyms in the town and I was so worried about not working out as I had been, and I was actually losing weight. For a few weeks after I got back to Chicago, I would walk distances that I would normally get in a taxi for, because I was so used to it. The cold weather is what kills me in Chicago - it's just painful to walk across the Loop in winter, but in good weather it's so easy! posted by: Erin W at January 27, 2006 02:14 PM My friend, Courtney - Hey girl, just got your email! I'll write back this weekend - lives in London and recently mentioned something about having to walk AN HOUR to get to work each day. An HOUR'S worth of walking. Jesus. If I had to do that much walking, to and from work, I don't know that I'd be any thinner but I think my overall physical health wouldn't have suffered as severely as it did this past year. posted by: Erin at January 27, 2006 02:16 PM I don't know... I live in Scotland, don't have a car, and STILL don't walk as much as I should do. My boyfriend either walks or cycles to work every day, but do I? No. (It may seem more tempting in spring. But first thing in the morning, the bus is winning so far.) I do usually go for a walk at lunchtime, however. posted by: Kirsten at January 30, 2006 11:01 AM I'm the same way: It'll be 8 at night and I'll realize I have 2 POINTS left over and sit around thinking about what I want to eat. And I won't be hungry in the least. Hmm, I wonder why I'm on WW in the first place. posted by: Shannon at January 30, 2006 06:00 PM Hello! purchase-xanax-onlinepurchase-xanax Bye! posted by: purchase-xanax at February 12, 2006 08:54 PM Hello! purchase-xanax-onlinepurchase-xanax Bye! posted by: purchase-xanax at February 12, 2006 08:55 PM Hello! phentermine http://phentermines.blog.kataweb.it/ Bye! posted by: xanax21 at February 13, 2006 05:39 AM Hello! lortab http://lortab.blog.kataweb.it/ Bye! posted by: ephedra at February 13, 2006 06:03 PM Hello! lortab http://lortab.blog.kataweb.it/ Bye! posted by: ephedra at February 13, 2006 06:04 PM Hello! swingers http://www.u-blog.net/swingers Bye! posted by: tramadol at February 14, 2006 03:54 PM Hello! tramadol-online http://tramadol-online.blog.kataweb.it/ Bye! posted by: tramadol at February 15, 2006 02:14 AM Hello! tramadol-online http://tramadol-online.blog.kataweb.it/ Bye! posted by: tramadol at February 15, 2006 02:14 AM Hello! phentermine http://www.u-blog.net/lphentermine Bye! posted by: phentermine at February 18, 2006 11:57 AM Hello! car insurance http://www.u-blog.net/xcarinsurance Bye! posted by: playstation at February 19, 2006 01:21 AM Hello! plus size bra http://www.u-blog.net/plussizebra Bye! posted by: windows vista at February 19, 2006 04:15 PM Hello! cumshot http://www.u-blog.net/cumshot Bye! posted by: transsexuals at February 20, 2006 02:43 AM Hello! cumshot http://www.u-blog.net/cumshot Bye! posted by: transsexuals at February 28, 2006 06:33 AM À good site, good short contents of the good work.

I find that even when I am in a good place with food (which I have really come far with this year) others will still take it upon themselves to judge the food I'm eating and apply their paradigms to it...it is infuriating. I never make comments on what other people are or aren't eating, and I want to reserve the right to tell others to bug off when they tell me my choices are "bad" or "good". Grrrrr.
That said, I learned a lot about seeing food differently this summer living in France. There is no "bad" food over there - meaning that no one food is taboo or considered morally unacceptable, like carbs were here for a few years, or like fat has been for a long time. They eat everything - just a lot less of it at a sitting. I ate whatever I wanted to eat there (in small portions) and actually lost weight, even through I was eating croissant, cheese, butter, pasta, and steak frites, several times a week. Makes no sense to my Americanized food brain, but it is something to think about!
