I LOVE FOOD!!

So those of you that know me well know that I LOVE food! I love to eat food, make food, shop for food, look at food, etc. It's a wonder I don't weigh 300 lbs!! I haven't always loved food, but I do now. The only problem is that I eat too much of the bad stuff and not enough of the right stuff. I would rather have a cookie than anything else...morning, noon, or night. I do admit I have eaten dessert (i.e. angel food cake) for breakfast! What a bad example I am setting for Kennedy! I have been thinking that I need to start watching what I eat. Pregnancy and breastfeeding have been really good excuses to eat everything and anything I want and as much of it as I want! I was needing some motivation, but instead I have been forced!!! Kennedy has tested positive for some severe food allergies, and seeing as I am still breastfeeding, that means that I can't eat those foods either! Do you feel sorry for me?!?! I feel sorry for myself! I am currently limited to fruits, veggies, meat, and rice. Exciting, huh? I think the best thing I have had to eat all week is a sweet potato. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but that is definitely no treat for me. I am dying for a cookie!!!! Not to mention that veggies don't stay with you very long...I'm always starving. I'm sure I'll survive; I know it could be worse. You know it's bad though when you dream about food. I totally had a dream last night that I ate a huge piece of cheesecake WITH the knowledge that I shouldn't be doing it. Thank goodness it was only a dream and I really didn't eat it! I love Kennedy so much that she's worth it! I really can't wait for a cookie though. This may be my motivation to wean her.....as soon as she decides she can survive on something besides breastmilk. So far we are hoping that coconut milk will do the trick. I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, have a treat for me....just don't tell me because I will be jealous ;)
