Weakness for a healthy food

I love spinach... but I'd say that was a strength and not a weakness

Cleans me out, which leaves me feeling weak.

There is something up with me and cottage cheese, especially with savory add ins.

Oh my.
Weakness as in cannot live without and experience equal joy?
‘Healthy’ as in the Pinterest brigade and the ‘of the moment’ bloggers are proclaiming it the ‘new superfood’? That term is so *kitten* these days in terms of having any real meaning.


Spinach, baby organic .
Kabocha squash.
Thinly sliced fennel.
Crisp tart organic fugi apples from Cuyama Orchards. (I could maybe eat a bushel, whatever that is.)
Meyer lemons.
Greek yogurt, the fluffy 2% fage. Only.
Thinly sliced steak in hot broth.
Roasted Tofu.

What foods will I sometimes eat for entertainment instead of out of need? All of those.


Protein bars, tho- and not even the ‘glorified candy bar’ sort (detour, premier protein, anything with chocolate coating that looks suspiciously like a candy bar...) but nearly any packaged bar- Clif, Lara, the Egg white no-BS ones..
It’s protein bars that I have to ask myself: hey, are you hungry enough to make yourself a meal right now?

Sometimes I’ll eat a bar (or even an apple) not because I’m hungry but because I want a party in my mouth.

I’m human, it happens.
I practice mindfulness in general- and as applies to my intake.
‘Oh look, I chose to eat a protein bar at 9pm when I likely wasn’t hungry. Is this cause for course correction or was it a one-off? If it’s happening frequently and I’d like it to stop because it’s getting in the way of meeting my goals, am I willing to give up the habit yet?’

Beating myself up over food decisions feels bad so I try not to do it anymore.
When I catch myself doing it, I remind myself to get objective and look at it as data.

Asparagus. I could eat it every day all day! But that’s not a bad thing!

I love avocados too. I find mixing in lots of milder chopped veggies helps so I still get several bites of it without massive calories. For guac I mix in more diced tomatoes since they are so yummy with it. Or chopped boiled eggs for a protein punch.

My biggest weakness is radish though. I worry I'll eat too much one day and have a reaction lol. I found slicing them keeps me in check.

I ate too much celery one day a couple years ago and triggered an allergic reaction and now can't have raw celery at all. I miss it! I had bad munchies one day and just wanted to chew chew chew and thought I was doing the right thing....

I don't really have a weakness for any food. I eat what I fancy, when I fancy it, I just make sure it fits into my diet plan.

Me too! Drives me crazy how expensive it is (in australia, anyway) because I could eat it by the kilo daily

Artichoke hearts. My #1 pizza topping.

Tuna sashimi. I'd have it every day if I could.
