I'm simultaneously interested and horrified to see that that so many of us are bringing up the same issues--guilt especially. No one should have to feel guilty for eating food.

It's taken me so long to unlearn unhealthy ways of looking at eating/body/etc, and they are still sort of always lurking, but I've really begun to enjoy food and eat healthy without trying to create a bikini body for myself.<br /><br />Your salmon sounds delicious! the vanilla bean bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04528028534964482096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568944522645767133.post-56969658230867792522013-01-09T09:27:30.011-08:002013-01-09T09:27:30.011-08:00I LOVE your attitude towards food and wish that I ...I LOVE your attitude towards food and wish that I could for once and for all achieve some sort of apathy (but not totally) about mine. I was anorexic for a long time and will always have a sort-of anorexic mindset that tries to creep in but that I've become very good at ignoring. So for me the problem is mostly guilt. And trying to ignore it. <br /><br />Lately though I'm all about moderation and eating what I want when I'm really craving it, but trying to avoid eating just because I'm bored or not in a good mood. this salmon is totally feel-good food!Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17133232352924060797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568944522645767133.post-37331330945921221742013-01-08T16:57:29.089-08:002013-01-08T16:57:29.089-08:00Mushrooms plus salmon sounds really good - I love ...Mushrooms plus salmon sounds really good - I love both, I wonder why I've never tried combining them.<br /><br />Also, I'm really pleased that I haven't seen too much about weird fad diets this year.

That's my attitude towards healthye ating. I think people make too much of a faff out of "healthy food" and no one can agree what it is exactly, so why not just put your heart and soul into eating food that you really love and enjoy using whole ingredients that you enjoyed picking out? <br /><br />Best part of your post, that last word: Eat. <br /><br />xxxShu Hanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00248873228185558472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568944522645767133.post-79063376702939328562013-01-08T12:33:31.082-08:002013-01-08T12:33:31.082-08:00I find it amazing how so many women see food as th...I find it amazing how so many women see food as the "enemy." We need to eat for survival!<br /><br />As I was shopping for wedding dresses last weekend, my fiancée commented, "we used to make clothes to fit women's bodies. Now we make bodies to fit women's clothes."<br /><br />There's something very, very wrong with that!Catherine Weberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05840408638057727714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568944522645767133.post-16343251533672220282013-01-08T12:01:01.029-08:002013-01-08T12:01:01.029-08:00Great post Eileen!

I never eat enough fish but this looks like a lovely, straight forward and healthy dish to try. :)Cazhttp://separatetoasters.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568944522645767133.post-48386770258508028672013-01-07T21:49:12.833-08:002013-01-07T21:49:12.833-08:00You're so spot on.

I cringe when I think back to the old me, and kind of do the same at thinking of having a daughter of my own someday. It's rough! <br /><br />But I'm with you -- I love focusing on normal, accessible, REAL food. And an active lifestyle. Everything in moderation, and surround yourself with the right people. It's so easy and so hard all at the same time. <br /><br />Bring on another year of really awesome food.

And we need to learn to accept ourselves.<br /><br />I, for one, ate frozen mini tacos for dinner last night. Definitely not diet food. Your fish looks like it would have been a lot more satisfying, love the mushrooms & peas beneath!Jeshttp://eatingappalachia.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568944522645767133.post-22091099909481968502013-01-07T12:45:15.994-08:002013-01-07T12:45:15.994-08:00Bravo!

Otherwise there is nothing left but guilt.<br /><br />I absolutely love your reason for making this dish. This is what food blogging should be: unapologetic, honest, approachable, and (importantly) tasty.

Jan...Oh man, that is a good way to relate to food!<br /><br />January is often a frustrating time for me to read food blogs on the internet because I have battled mightily with anorexia on and off for about 10 years. Currently the fight is on, so I'm expending a lot of mental energy trying to game as many calories out of each day as humanly possible and choosing meals based on whether they contain the most calorically dense things I can possibly put in my mouth, to compensate for my near-total lack of appetite. (Worst part: everything tastes like acetone all the time, not eating enough means not enough energy and no amount of sleep is enough so constantly exhausted, oh my god someone just feed me bonbons and slices of chilled salted butter already.) It's not triggering for me to read stuff extolling the virtues of low-fat low-cal because haha too late disordered eating behaviours already engaged, but it is grimly uninspiring.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15272061485635303993noreply@blogger.com
