Self love? Or loathing?

So this whole loving your neighbor as yourself thing - I think it only works if you indeed do actually love yourself.
When I told her about this food adventure with Seattle Sutton, my friend Betsy asked me about this very question. "Why don't you deserve nutritious food and to take care of yourself in the best way possible? You are NOT lazy Ang."

This started me thinking about all my endless years of food issues, of watching and listening to my mom diet, of my grandma asking if I was bigger than all the other girls. It made me think about the fact that at some point I simply must have decided I wasn't worth it.  My body was not strong and amazing and capable. It was only chubby. The emptiness this thought process caused could only be filled by - you guessed it - food.

Well I take it back. I am worth it dammit.

We got our next installment of food - some yummy stuff this week. SSHE continues to be the right choice for us.
