about getting from point A to point B in the most interesting ways possible

If you're a large woman in America, your whole life is an opportunity to feel self-conscious, embarrassed, resentful and way too big. You can hide in the corner or on the couch, you can go to therapy, or you can put on your lycra bike shorts and get out there and move.

the problem with weekend mornings permalink

The problem with weekend mornings is a problem of entitlement. I wake up, and I'm like, where can we go for breakfast? Oh, we could go here with the luscious eggs or here with the luscious potatoes or here with the cheese grits. This place has a great egg sandwich. Would it be a problem to order it with bacon. Mmmm bacon...

Last night, I dreamt about ordering pancakes.

This is my slippery slope. There are only a couple vegan options for breakfast, and they aren't open early, and they tend to be all about carbs.

For whatever reason, mostly because this is the way it's always been with sweetie and I, weekend morning means going out and having breakfast. And breakfast out means definitely not ETL.

Unfortunately, I know what I want and that seems much more important than what I need. Even as I'm writing this, I'm thinking about my breakfast options which are all about starch and eggs and/or cheese.

Worse yet, today sweetie and I are going on a brewery crawl in the Columbia Gorge. It's going to be great: we have a designated driver, and we're going to hit at least three (and maybe five) brewpubs. At the first place, there'll be pizza, which I was thinking I'd probably allow myself a piece. I mean, I'm already going to be having beer.

See the slope? It's pretty steep.

Anyways, I should quit bitching and get some breakfast. Here at home. Of good stuff.

Maybe the farmers markets could be your breakfast stop-- fresh fruit or a smoothie, and still a treat for the senses.

It seems like no matter what we eat or don't eat, the real difficulties are in the habits surrounding the eating - the rituals we create and then grow attached to. Changing those rituals is the big challenge I think.
