I was once in a position of being told that I was going to die.
Do tell
Well, to make a very long story short, I had a ruptured brain aneurysm. I had a craniotomy 11 years ago tomorrow. When my neurosurgeon first identified what was going on, he said said "this is likely going to take your life." Ceviche was the first thing that popped into my head. I had lots of deeper thoughts in the minutes that followed, but the first thing was being sad that I had been too busy to eat one of my favorite (healthy) foods.
I wasn't allowed to eat again for the next 12 days. It was several months before I got my ceviche.
Thank goodness it was caught early.
Oh, it wasn't. It ruptured on a Friday morning. I didn't even get to the hospital until Saturday afternoon.
Instead of falling over dead like a sensible person, I kept teaching. Then, the next day, I drove to a clinic...and then drove myself to a hospital--almost an hour away, on the freeway. It's almost a miracle that I didn't die or kill someone else.

At the same time, food should not be used as a reward. We are not "treating" ourselves by eating whatever we want, whenever we want--really, that is self-abuse. It's pretty normal in US culture, but it isn't a good thing. If food is a very large percentage of the pleasure that you have in your life, that's something to re-evaluate.
On an entirely unrelated note, I HATE the word Gavacho/a. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. Sorry gavacho661...I don't understand why anyone would ever call himself this!
Hmmm.....well, I also didn't like it at first. But to be quite honest it was used as a term of endearment in my case. The same Mexican family I married into had nicknames like Gordo, which you know what that means, yet also a term of endearment within a family. I'm divorced from this woman 5 years ago and currently closer to them than my own blood ties. Still call me that and many peoe have nicknames that at a time were offensive or just didn't like but after time it becomes something many in that situation come embrace nicknames they once hated. Also I been called worse and didn't care. Not sure why you do.
Oh, I see. You took something negative and turned it around.
I find the word VERY racist. It's also something I get called a lot, and not as a term of endearment. I am a blond, light-skinned, non-Mexican Latina. I live in a very Mexican area. People are not always so nice about this. I would rather be called Gorda any day, but I am not fat enough anymore!0 -

For the love of God that is only mid-afternoon for you. What time do you go to bed?0 -
We have a tv in our bedroom, I usually head in around 7-7:30, snuggle in and watch my shows. So much more comfy than the couch, although sometimes it's a trap as I nod off sooner and wake up way too early! !0
