356 Days To Go...9 Slices Of Toast

        It has been 10 days of monitoring my eating habit, time for an assessment. Much of what I eat has to do with our budget. As people/consumers we tend to want to get the most for our money. Sadly, I am seeing that quantity outweighs quality. You can fill up your buggy with all sorts of junk and stretch that pound pretty far. Now, a choice presents itself to me. Chose fresh veg and fruits, you eat healthy and you eat less. Which leads me to the biggest deception as an American we have been told via advertisements, and that is, "YOU NEED TO EAT MORE!"
      As Americans there is a very sad development in the culture of food portions and I fear here in beautiful England too. Biggie size me please! Who in the world needs to eat a 315g, 770 cal, and 48g fat sandwich (BK Whooper) and they don't stop there, you can get a double or even triple Whooper! Not to mention deep fat fried chips to go with it. WHY!? Money and addiction. Food is the drug of choice for most people, it simply feels good to eat, which I call, "Happy Mouth!" and it is legal. Corporations know this and simply want to turn a profit. So now I have some serious re-education and training to do.
     So now on a more comical note, no I did not eat a whooper today. I ate 9 slices of toast, 2 fried eggs and a tin of mushy pies, oh the shame of it all. Unfortunately bread is cheap .29p per loaf and in my defense, it was low-cal wheat bread, HA! You see, there you have it. The bread was cheap so buy lots of it and freeze it and live off of cheap food. This is what I am going to work on changing this week, plus I need to feel hunger, shame on me for overeating. Don't get me wrong, I am not damning myself to hell, just facing myself. There use to be an ancient cultural understanding for all of this, I believe they referred to it as, Gluttony.
