I'm also recovering from an ED, and it's really heartening to hear about your experiences. I remember the first time I picked something up and didn't look at the label - like you, it wasn't a conscious thing and it was a little scary when I realised. But as some of the other commenters have said, full fat versions often do taste so much nicer. And the idea of living is to enjoy life, and food, and everything else. Well done for getting to this point! <BR/>Best wishes<BR/>Bronbronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09320100415077054104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-52999291453074338372007-06-08T11:36:00.000-04:002007-06-08T11:36:00.000-04:00Oh, how I love garlic!

I buy what tastes best and is most enjoyable for me. Real butter, real sour cream. I make my own guacamole, and you just can't buy a low fat fresh fruit (I think an avocado is a fruit). I've even been known to buy lard for frying, or for doctoring up an inexpensive cut of beef (larding is a pain to do, but oh the flavor it adds).Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256002804183760178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-43376062784869839362007-06-08T10:12:00.000-04:002007-06-08T10:12:00.000-04:00Lindsey,OMG!

Thanks. ;)<BR/><BR/>Rio,<BR/><BR/>Mmmm...Pringles. I just got a can of their spicy guacamole. Yum! It's the same way with cottage cheese. I'm not a huge fan, but the low fat or fat free is simply disgusting. And you're right- when you're eating something you truly enjoy, when you savor it, savor each bite, that is the antithesis to a binge.<BR/><BR/>Laura,<BR/><BR/>My blessedly, completely normal eater friend from high school (and a dancer to boot) said she doesn't understand the concept of low fat sour cream and cream cheese because "they're *supposed* to have fat. That's why 'cream' is in the name." Gotta love her.<BR/><BR/>Mary,<BR/><BR/>I do have to say this- let's just not dip the ice cream sandwiches in the ranch. I have to draw the line somewhere. ;) /*****Carrie Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569839838912988783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-58847853566248931282007-06-08T08:29:00.000-04:002007-06-08T08:29:00.000-04:00I am very impressed!

I'm not saying that eating fewer is better, but it did remind me that getting a taste of what you really want often prevents you from bingeing on "second best" because each bite is not quite satisfying. Enjoyment of your food is real health, I think :)RioIririhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358432680088606342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-24111398115222262732007-06-08T00:32:00.000-04:002007-06-08T00:32:00.000-04:00Dude.
