If I had to classify myself as something in relation to food I would say that I enjoy GOOD food. Like you, it doesn't always have to be super nutritional, but I do watch what I eat. Quality food is a good descriptor...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477548540626948283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-49438602678899817392011-09-25T22:53:18.236-04:002011-09-25T22:53:18.236-04:00Thanks so much to everyone for their comments!

My attitude toward food has changed dramatically since I've been on this journey. I don't deprive myself of treats--that's not realistic for the rest of my life. I'm much more choosy about them, though, and don't feel the need to have a treat every day. Cookies can actually (gasp!) go stale in my cookie jar these days because I forget they are there . . .Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794334786555278616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-87362940482767492632011-09-23T12:46:37.219-04:002011-09-23T12:46:37.219-04:00I'm so NOT a foodie.

BUT, since I've been changing my poor eating habits, I have been trying different things and enjoying it. But as a whole, I'm just not THAT gastronomically adventureous.<br /><br />And I hear you on cereal. Lordy, how I love kiddie cereal (cocoa puffs for the WIN). I used to devour a box of that crap in about two days. Now I still eat it but it's portion controlled to the max.JLVerdehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814082484881071454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-19678253152512924962011-09-23T11:52:14.384-04:002011-09-23T11:52:14.384-04:00Love the attitude.

Hubby and I love critiquing it after we try something new also.<br /><br />I love trying new stuff out. Mainly because if it's something I like I will try and make it myself. (I will also know how it's supposed to taste and the consistence.) If it's just something that's so-so, then chances are I won't bother if it's a complicated recipe. My time is worth something too!<br /><br />Years ago I want to CA, and I wasn't too impressed but one of my dreams now is to go back so I can eat in Hell's Kitchen. I watch that tv show so much and they serve the same foods over and over and I just want to try them all! I think that's my only "dream vacation" focused on food though. All the rest are about things I want to do!SkyeFyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15279064967887745099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-88722810624226443982011-09-23T11:29:15.953-04:002011-09-23T11:29:15.953-04:00me and my hubby used to split a box of spaghetti t...me and my hubby used to split a box of spaghetti too!!<br /><br />I am definately a foodie, but the definition of that has changed over time. I used to be a foodie where I would eat good things, and if it was something I liked I'd eat a large quantity.<br /><br />Now, I am WAY more picky about the quality of my food.. If its to die for, I don't mind eating a larger portion. But, if i take a bite of something its anything less than stellar, I don't continue to eat it.Kerry + Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350663628234766417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-63127791751575341052011-09-23T10:32:27.530-04:002011-09-23T10:32:27.530-04:00The portion sizes were our biggest downfall back t...The portion sizes were our biggest downfall back then. I am so glad we finally got that all figured out. We still have a long way to go but the nice thing is that we continue to perfect things along the way and it only gets better. I like that we can still indulge in wonderful food without completely "blowing our diet" and feeling like we have to start over again because of that. We stay in a calorie range all week long and give ourselves that 1 day where we can have what we crave and it works!The Mr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04233628447251244134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-42430503336039485652011-09-23T09:29:38.633-04:002011-09-23T09:29:38.633-04:00Good blog!

It really is amazing how ingrained food is our society. I totally agree with you. If your going to eat something make it the best it can be. I used to think "oh i can't eat that its too expensive" now I think "oh i can eat that because its the best for me and in the long run totally worth it". Love the recipes/reviews you put up! Yummy! Still eating chia seeds. Love em! Hugs.dancerofegypthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12921128176834983133noreply@blogger.com
