Fall/Winter Fat Cravings

So here we are again. It's Fall. And sure enough I wanna tank up on fat and hibernate. Happens every year.  Even if I'm doing well and not exhibiting eating disordered behavior, I still put on a few pounds every winter. I keep telling myself there's no shame here. It's physiological. But it's hard. The body image thoughts stay strong even though I'm in a fairly mature part of my recovery. Luckily, I'm not craving animal fat. In the past it was always an intense Fall/Winter craving for cheese. Now it's tortilla chips. It's just corn, right :)?

what- cha got?

That's what we say around here when one of us is hungry. Of course this means we have to go through what's already cooked and available and what can be whipped up in a hurry.

This is what we "got" today: Plants and more plants......
Butternut Squash soup
Barley, mung bean, pear salaad
Cabbage with tomatoes, onion, corn and peas
Fresh apples, red bartlett pears, green grapes
Ok we cheated with a brownie left over from our family party last Sunday.
