Chewing the Fat: What to do when FOOD Calls Your Name???
Dear Our Lady of Weight Loss ~ I really don’t quite understand it, but food – in particular – sweets with a heavy emphasis on chocolate – has a crazy kind of power of me. It knows my name and frequently calls out to me.

The Elder Care Blues: Things Could Be Worse ... and, they will be.
The thing about life is that life has a life of its own, and you just never know when ‘life’s life’ is going to show up and where ‘it’ is going to take you. For the most part the unexpected twists n’ turns are a mere blip in your day, barely noticeable.

Brilliant!!!!!!The search for food as a metaphor for the search for a meaningful life–a satisfying life–a gratifying life: We become so immersed in our melodramas and the conditioning and life patterns in which we’ve used food not to feed and restore the body but instead the ubiquitous refrigerator raid is used to soothe and fill the emotional emptiness or pain or boredom etc etc. We lose the big picture and sometimes we need a very concrete reminder: a veritable zen stick (celery stick) to whack (gently, of course) some sense into our heads and to remind us to wake up and become aware: Can I stay with the feelings or do something differently to care of myself?
Thank you our Lady!!1

Thank you, thank you, I was just telling a friend how I routinely find myself running to the fridge each night, seemingly wearing a path from my living room to the kitchen. Posting this on the door will definitely get me thinking in a different direction! Awareness instead of a zombielike mentality that draws me out there each night will be of great help…thanks again!

i am looking for internal peace….peace and quiet from the constant voice that gives me grief! food quietens her for a bit, so does wine…maybe i could make her be a bit nicer to me then she would be my friend?

Comfort. I head to the fridge when I have tough decisions to make or when “homework” is staring me in the face. Rarely am I hungry when I yank open the door…
