Things are going well. I feel like I am “coasting” now. I have become accustomed to my new eating routine and the lesser amount
of food I am taking in. It feels
refreshing and liberating to no longer think continually about what to eat next. At
least for now, food is no longer a compulsion: no more snacking, foraging, and
overeating. I feel comfortable before,
during, and after my meal. Comfort food
has become comfortable food. I feel like I am honoring the act of eating now; and, honoring me – by not
eating more than my body needs or what is not nutritional. Outside of the specific issues around eating
on $31.50/week, I can’t stop thinking about the comparative advantages I have
over the typical food stamp recipient; and, how those differences would make
this “challenge” so much more difficult.
