HW 6 - Food Diary

I think that food has a special relationship with a person. Like the scent of food the colors and textures send messages to the mind that scream “ THIS IS GOOD”. I think that this makes the food somewhat sacred because we have a special relationship with the food, it makes us feel special (most of the time). When I like food I usually dance and that says a lot. Food makes someone happy, dancing makes me happy…these both make me feel really good.

I noticed that the food I usually eat is salty, and full of something dairy like cheese. I always eat some type of fiber I like bread and cheese. Coffee is also a must I think that the idea of coffee helping me wake up kind of tricks my mind into thinking I’m not tired. Like a fake alarm clock or something. And I like my sweets really sweet. All of the things that they tell you not too eat too much of, I eat too much of.

I consume way too many calories I eat well over the daily-recommended 2,000 calories.
I usually eat a lot throughout the day and I think that it has a lotto do with me eating food with high calories but not enough “good stuff” to keep me going. I feel good about the choices that I’ve made when it comes to my satisfaction and the affordability of the food however when it comes to what I’m feeding myself I actually feel kind of bad. I feel like I should take better care of myself because no one else will. Over the last 48 hours I have eaten food that isn’t that great for me and I should do better.
