I had always thought I had a pretty healthy diet and a good relationship with food, so it surprised me to discover how much diet-related bullshit I had internalized. For example: for a long time, if 2 pm rolled around and I realized I hadn’t eaten anything yet that day, my first reaction wouldn’t be “Montereyo, you idiot”; it would be, “Gee, good for you!” I’m definitely getting better, though – I make myself eat breakfast every morning, even though I’m not usually hungry until later. I also load up on protein. I love cottage cheese, unlike most of you here.
