I have a question since when is food a Taboo subject around here? You can't mention any type of carbohydrate without having the food police fetched on you. I just find it fascinating.. Is my talk about me liking bacon or donuts going to make you spiral into a binge?

I've changed my food porn to be sleever-friendly foods. I make them' date=' 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.[/quote']ditto my everyday foods are protein and vegetable based I'd love to check out your blog I'm sure you have some amazing recipes.. Mind sharing?

. 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!

Guilty here too of piling on the food for other peoples plates. Maybe it IS a proxy thing... Hmmm weird. Lol

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!}

well I'm certainly a lover but not Jewish

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?

Gotta say I love this. Because I bake - a lot. I entertain. Not as much now that I have baby on my hip, but I regularly do gatherings with at least a dozen people, and do larger ones a couple times a year.

I have always felt that food isn't taboo. The taboo is my reaction to the food. It's a self control thing for me. Because even if I choose to enjoy just one or two slices of bread I'm still baking three or four loaves a week. And dozens upon dozens of Cookies, pastries, pies, whatever the occasion calls for - it's up to me to say no. The food is just food. And if I eat some, it's just different calories to record - not bad ones or good ones. Yes, eating two cookies instead of a bowl of tuna salad is a less than ideal choice.

But it all boils down to me. The pictures, while tempting, are just pictures of food and I'm around food all the time.
