Hugh and Food: The Love Affair Continues...


Let me make this perfectly clear: I LOVE GOOD FOOD!!! I salivate everytime I pass an interesting Italian or Japanese restaurant. I look forward to the New York Times Food Section on Wednesday, particularly the mouth-watering photos of a new Nigella Lawson feast. There is still nothing more intoxicating than the smell of freshly baked bread. But, I enjoy food all the more today because I am in control, not the food. Mindless binge eating is not pleasurable; it's defeating, unhealthy, and emotionally hurtful. This does not mean that you can never indulge in a sinful food pleasure (ice cream, cake, pizza, etc.). No, it means that you eat and exercise smartly enough to allot yourself that once a week food treat. Trust me, that piece of cheesecake tastes much better in a healthy, trim body than in an overweight, out-of-control carcass.
