Food Porn "Taboo"



Recommended Posts

I've changed my food porn to be sleever-friendly foods. I make them, I take photos of them, I blog them, and I enjoy eating them. So I still enjoy food, just good-for-me food. I hope it stays that way for me.

. I did the same thing the other day. Whipped up this awesome meal and heaped it on my husband's plate!

If we get hubby to put on weight we look even skinnier right!?!?

My hubby and I were having this convo today. He's gained and I'm losing. I still out weight him by leaps and pounds but the gap is narrowing.

Plus I'm taller.

I'm guilty of the filling other peoples plates with too much food. The other night my hubby said"Just how much do you think I can eat?" But talking about food or watching shows about food doesn't bother me, it's only the eating of it that gets me in trouble! :D

My husband and I just had this talk. I asked him if my potions had increased since I stopped eating the regular food..he said he didn't notice because his potions in general were out of control.

I told him I would be more conscious of what I make for the family and of my serving sizes too.

I think he just was afraid to say yes they were..and until stumbling onto this thread..I hadn't realized I was doing it.

That's funny I'm doing the opposite. I'm feeding everyone much healthier food and much smaller portions because I see how little we need to survive. I had a house guest and I am sure the poor man was hungry the whole time because we thought we were giving him huge portions but they were only huge for us 2 oz eaters. I literally had to make him a Peanut Butter sandwich AFTER dinner one night!

Poor guy.

So first, the pictures of your food porn made me laugh. Green things are NOT food porn! Food porn is a greasy cheeseburger and fries. It's an Italian beef sandwich ordered hot, dipped. It's a deep dish pie loaded up with sausage (oh MAN I miss pork) with a tank of beer on the side.

It is not a salad, even one with dressing.

Also, I am truly guilty of being a food pusher but only on my husband. The man initially gained a few after my sleeve. Why? I'm a plate filler, too, and naturally couldn't eat all that food. So I'd shove all my leftovers off onto him and he'd eat them. Or I'd cook enough for my pre-op stomach and expect him to eat 3/4 of the food by himself. I'd bake a whole loaf of bread but couldn't even eat a whole slice so he'd eat it all.

I do send food into work with him now. I love to bake, I keep enough for everyone in my house to have one or two small servings and out it goes. I'm kind enough to send a card with nutritional stats for the office folk. But let's be real - if you eat more than one cookie you didn't want to see the nutritional stats, anyway. Maybe that's enabling? Not sure. In fairness, my husband's office is full of military men that work out every day and almost everyone is in very good shape. And I might send in two dozen Cookies to be shared amongst the seventy coworkers in his division. I'm sure they're doing alright. They get worried that I'm sick when I miss a week of sending in baked goods. :)

Now he's learned to say no. He doesn't try to eat my portion, too. I learned that it's okay to throw food away - even cake or pie! - if my family will not or should not eat it.

But food porn should be in a dedicated thread, in my opinion, just to be safe. I firmly believe talking about food should be A-okay, but going that extra step and posting a picture that makes people salivate is cruel to those of us that won't be triggered and could be a trigger to someone already struggling.

And I still say none of this is food porn.

Ha! And I just realized that my desire to heap food on people is likely tied to my Jewish roots. food is love and every Friday night is a holiday and a reason to feast!

No such thing as food porn. It's just practice. I mean if you watch TV or read magazines, or cook, you gotta deal with the food that is omniprecent in our world. We will always be surrounded by temptations. So keep it/thm porn coming. If I can't deal with pictures, how the heck will I deal with the real thing?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
