I disagree with this. I love food. Food is terrific, a gift in our
lives. I plan my melas in advance, what you would call dream about what
I am eating tomorrow, so that I may have good healthy choces that are a
joy to my palate asa well. I also plan ahead so I can be assured that I
have meals that sustain my staisfaction as well as conform to my
desired calorie intake.

There is nothing wrong with enjoying food. Enjoyment is a wonderful
thing! There is no superioirity in viewing food as only fuel. If that
attitude works for you, rock on. But for those of us who enjoy cooking,
food will continue to be a wonderful thing to share with family and
friends and to enjoy!


Yes there is nothing wrong with researching recipes and making food that
is a delight to the eye and palate. That can be quite a satisfying
hobby. BUT that does not mean a person can or should eat every last
bite. Eat simply was is need for sustenance and save the rest for
another meal or day. Share with other people.

Many of the WW recipes are a joy to the palate but that is no excuse to
eat too much.

I'm sorry, I don't see where anybody has said that it's ok to eat too
much. Where is the link between enjoying what you eat, and that meaning
that you eat too much?

I don't see how the two would be exclusive...

You misunderstood me. I did not say there was a link. It happens that
some people do eat too much because they enjoy it and/or cooking it. If
they can master the philosophy of eating just what they need, there is no
harm in enjoying eating or cooking food.


I don't think that cooking enjoyable food is a cause for overeating. If one
is an overeater, whether it's good food, bad food, home cooked, or
microwaved in a box, it'll be the same thing.

Eating what you need is the only way to lose weight, but in no way does it
have anything to do with not researching new foods, experimenting in the
kitchen, and/or making sure that every bite is enjoyable. The two concept
just aren't related.. it's comparing oranges with apples.
