Merry, I also found the one in that documentary who had limited her nutritional intake to a handful of items interesting. Particularly, the fact that her food behaviours had been indulged as a child. I understand that parents have to pick their food battles but that seemed extreme. I also appreciated hearing what binge-eating actually meant in terms of quantities consumed because I’d often wondered whether I’d been a binge-eater. I now know I never was.
I recall the discussion you mentioned that we had here all that time ago about our childhood influences wrt food. It was so interesting that many of us had similar issues.
LJ, your tarts look divine. So pleased that they and I are separated by the Nullarbor Plain because I might be able to scoff quite a few. Then again, reading what you said about the sugar, perhaps not. Vials of insulin would be hilarious.
The neighbour who enjoys baking but not eating has just invited a few of us round for soup and crusty bread on Sunday. I’m relieved to be able to fast tomorrow therefore. DD, OH and I had the hearty ‘surfers’ breakfast’ at a restaurant overlooking the ocean this morning & I still feel full. Although it’s technically the big breakfast, I love it occasionally because there’s only one of everything – so the plate size doesn’t put me off. Not sure how I’ll make it from Saturday to the following Sunday without fasting though.
