So the Mrs. and I were sitting at our usual Sunday evening location enjoying ourselves, when she handed me an article out of Women's Health and said read this. Being the obedient husband I am, I obliged.
The article was titled Why We Love Food written by Martha Brockenbrough. While we read it in print, I went out and found the link for everyone to enjoy it. http://www.womenshealthmag.com/nutrition/relationship-with-food
I would also like to provide my thoughts on it.
1. 5% of women are likely impacted by an eating disorder at some point in their life...sooo that means it is very likely someone you know is part of that 5%. Help them and if it is you don't be afraid to ask for help.
2. 45% of our food preferences are genetic. You can either use that as an excuse to eat poor or you can see it as if you have 55% available that is all dependent on you...which one is it going to be?
3. I agree with a majority of the authors view point and understand where she is coming from. Her last sentence, "At the end of the day each of us has to decide if food is the enemy or a dear friend," speaks volumes. Do NOT starve yourself, choose nutritionally dense foods that allow you to feel like you are eating alot of food. Enjoy your food when it is time to eat it!
Feel free to comment, the article is a short read...enjoy!
