What Tiger Woods Can Teach Us About Food Cravings

So unless you live under a rock-you have no doubt heard that tiger woods is a sex fiend and despite having a totally knockout gorgeous wife- he strayed. So what does this say about us as a specie? it says we like variety!

It's the same with food. Even if you could eat chocolate mouse cake all day long-eventually (probably really soon actually) you would bore of chocolate mouse cake and maybe even crave a Brussels sprout or two! (imagine that). Or in Tiger Woods' case, I guess he craved a tart or two-hahahaha)

So I like a lot of variety in my diet-that really does seem to keep me from having cravings. I enclosed a shot of my pantry. Its chock full of what i call "cute food". things that you can use to enhance a meal quickly - like white truffle oil or horseradish or ponzu etc., and about 15 pounds of dark chocolate. Let's face it-you can never have too much dark chocolate.

Now I must say-I do eat more than anyone I know so I can't say this is a great recipe for weight loss-but it does keep me happy! and I have come to realize that this is more important than being stick thin. Also, I can't imagine eating 1000 calories a day for the rest of my life-so why even do it for a minute???


Of course that variety includes tons of veggies-because I love all vegetables (except eggplant.) But really-why can't I -or anyone else for that matter- have a nice piece of dark chocolate for dinner???

I vow to never try to be a size 2. 6 maybe-but not 2. :). See size 6 is that illusive ten lbs away that we all think we can lose-it traps us all-I think it's marketing-if you could just lose that last 10 lbs you'd be the happiest person in the world.. Really-does anyone but us care??? probably not. So I think I'll go have another piece of dark chocolate with hazelnuts.....And tell the Jenny Craig rep to buzz off.

Oh, and one more thought on good old Tiger - how happy can his wife be staying so thin? I don't know about you-but not getting to eat what i want makes me cranky! so if you can't keep your man from straying by being thin (as we see ala Ms Tiger woods) then maybe being HAPPY would be a better idea! Just a thought...

Bon Appetite!
