Obesity and addiction

(...) I notice on this board that we are all pretty much achievement oriented.

We need to be mindful, but we also need to remember the joy in a great meal or a loaf of baked bread or that beer after a ride

I like your theory, and I loved this!

Which is why I cannot totally eliminate any one food group. I may come close, and others may think my eating is very strict, but let's put it this way. I just came back from vacation, where I ate pretty much what I wanted, with a little bit of trying to avoid some very bad for you stuff. I did eat onion rings, white bread, had appetizers almost every night, and desserts a couple of times. But, I had lots of fish and veggies. I rode almost 100 miles and went on a challenging hike.
Sometimes life is just too short to obsess about food. Of course, this comes from someone who is at her desired weight, but i gain pretty easily. Some days, I just want a glass of wine and some cheese.
