Comfort Foods

As a formerly obese person, I am obsessed with food. 

If I'm being honest, I do miss ridiculously unhealthy and rich foods. 

I got thinner. I didn't get a lobotomy. 

My favorite comfort foods (in my former life) were: (and I must admit it's fun to reminisce) 

Cheesecake

Chicken Wings

Chinese Food--especially lo mein

Cookies & Cream Ice Cream

Macaroni & Cheese 

Loaded Nachos

And that's just the start. Burgers. Steaks. French Fries. Meatball Subs. Starbursts. 

Don't even get me started! 

Nowadays, I try not to comfort myself with food. But, I do allow myself a few things...



When I'm sick--Chicken Soup is a must! My Grandma used to make it and then my mom, and now I make it for myself! It always makes me feel better.

Peanut Butter is just generally a blessing from God. 

My most nostalgic holiday food is stuffing. I only eat it on holidays, and it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. (It makes my outsides jiggly.) 

Sweet Potato is my favorite "I need some carbs" food. I love eating it when I've had a long day and I'm feeling exhausted and depleted. 

But again, this post just reminds me that I'm still obsessed with food. 

Save me from myself.
