Thanks for your comment!
Yes, I agree,...Hi Irina,<br /><br />Thanks for your comment!<br /><br />Yes, I agree, it doesn't work like that. It's great when food tastes good and is satisfy on that level, but in the end, food really is just fuel!<br /><br />Kara<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07849140037963687553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955580886906208700.post-67953274885058631902012-12-05T15:53:19.810-05:002012-12-05T15:53:19.810-05:00Food as fuel is a concept I've been trying to ...Food as fuel is a concept I've been trying to instill in my head. It's not about emotions - it's about healthy living. I don't think I've compensated bad tasting food with a second more satisfying meal - I'll just try not to eat it - but I have done other similar rationalizations such as I wasn't too hungry to have lunch, so I can have some extra dessert for dinner. Doesn't work like that! I like how you were open about your understanding about the importance we place on being satiated by our food! pebblesiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03367260407493627301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955580886906208700.post-55737579843619837952012-12-04T00:36:13.740-05:002012-12-04T00:36:13.740-05:00For Munchberry - I see that you are blogging again...For Munchberry - I see that you are blogging again, but you are private now - can you please add me to your blog?

Thanks for your comment!
I'd jus...Hi Shannon,<br /><br />Thanks for your comment!<br /><br />I'd just like to point out that I'm not talking about Americans, I'm talking about the experience of one Canadian woman discovering a new eating trigger.<br /><br />I'd also like to point out that this doesn't happen very often. My husband is a great cook, but sometimes meals just don't turn out for whatever reason. This can happen to anyone no matter their economic situation.<br /><br />Of course, I am not obligated to eat food that doesn't taste great, but not eating is not always an option. <br /><br />An example is if we are at a dinner party and the hosts are serving chicken but it is overcooked and/or tasteless. I'm hungry and it's the only food available so eat as much food to satisfy my hunger and stop eating. Before I would obsess about the lack of taste satisfaction which usually led to eating more food. Now I just accept that the food for that meal just didn't taste that great, and I forget about it. <br /><br />Another example is that my husband cooks steak and for whatever reason it doesn't have any taste. Do I cook an additional food? No, I suck it up and have some of the steak for dinner, because the point of food is to provide nutrients for my body not to satisfy my need for taste. Again, I accept that this meal wasn't that tasty and I forget about it.<br /><br />Anyhow, I'm going to talk about taste in another post, so I'm sure we'll have more to banter about!<br /><br />Kara<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07849140037963687553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955580886906208700.post-53625399566221065272012-12-03T20:33:56.653-05:002012-12-03T20:33:56.653-05:00One other revelation I've had over the years i...One other revelation I've had over the years is if I have a full plate and something on it doesn't taste good, I DON'T have to eat it :) To me, it was like WHAT? I don't have to eat it?

Not one. I understand what you are saying, that you don't have to eat two meals just to make up for bad taste. But shouldn't it be that if the food doesn't taste great STOP EATING IT? Then you can go make yourself something that doesn't taste disgusting and eat it instead. (NOT in addition to, INSTEAD OF) Why on earth would we all sit around eating junk that tasted nasty, unless it was literally the only thing available to us to eat??!? It'd be different if it was rice porridge or nothing. But most people aren't in that situation. Not in this country. (and yes, I know there are thousands of hungry poor Americans, I'm generalizing here) Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018392684753589024noreply@blogger.com
