When I look back on some periods of my life I note that my mind/motivation/occasional depression has always corresponded with negative food association - which only set myself up further for a Fall. I still have to listen hard though for the hunger signals (interesting that as I am adopting more of a Paleo approach those signals are being heard better). I find allowing myself to get a little hungry each day makes me appreciate food better than if I eat "on time" or at the slightest tweak of hunger/food craving (and I don't mean that badly, just gaining a better understanding of when my body really needs to eat. Plus mentally a colourful plate does wonders for the eye - and therefore emotions, it can be like appreciating a painting before consuming :)Cherellinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577086829445731877.post-42982505124781547292011-05-27T17:50:20.482-05:002011-05-27T17:50:20.482-05:00I LOVE this!

I feel I am passionate about food - in the creation of something wonderful, to the sharing with those I love... someone once said to me "writing a food blog must turn that into an obsession - you are always thinking about it". I know I may focus more on food because I write about it, but I'm not sharing a food dairy, counting calories or tracking pounds on a scale. My "passion" translates to more creativity in the kitchen, I think? :) at least I hope.<br /><br />I loosely follow that water rule, drinking 1/2 your body weight in ounces. I learned that from my naturopath years ago, and while I usually drink enough water, I sometimes need a reminder. <br /><br />This is great perspective - I am going to read Lisa's blog now... thank you, Lindsay and Lisa, for sharing this! <3Kristina @ spabettienoreply@blogger.com
