Since I was eating less food, I found my senses were heightened when I was eating. I was no longer mindlessly trying to numb some pain by downing a bag of chips. If I was going to eat, I was going to make thoughtful choices. If I wanted a burger, created one by going to the local farmer’s market where a purveyor sold organic ground beef that made exceptional burgers. My vegetables were all organic and heirloom varieties if I could find them. My less became more, and I refused to settle for crappy food. I always thought of that scene in Ratatouille where Linguini asks Ego if he likes food so much, why is he so thin? He replies,
“I don’t like food, I love food. And if I don’t love it, I don’t swallow it.”
