This morning’s Loser for Life post got me thinking a lot about my thoughts about food.

With an upcoming vacation to visit my parents in Florida for a week, I’ve been feeling a growing restlessness about food.  I find myself worrying about eating the “wrong” things while we’re gone and not getting in “enough” exercise.

That, my friends, is not the way to live life.  Thanks to Loser for Life, I’ll be looking at things a little differently.  I’ve already managed to find some peace in my daily life when it comes to food.  For instance, last night my husband worked super late, so I ordered pizza.  I ate it, I enjoyed it, I moved on.  No guilt, no regret.  That’s the way it ought to be.

So while we’re in Florida, I’ll be enjoying life.  I’ll be savoring the all-too-precious time with my parents and sister.  I’ll be enjoying the date night(s) that my husband and I get to sneak in while the Toddlerette spends time with her grandparents.  I’ll be relaxing by the pool, enjoying good food and wine, and basking in the glow of being surrounded by people I love.  I’ll work out when I can, try to make food choices that make me feel good both in the moment and in the long term, and I’ll do a lot of laughing.

A good, healthy relationship with food and my body is about living.  So I’m going to LIVE my vacation and worry about the rest later.
