Foodie with a tiny tummy

Confession:
I am a total foodie.

I know that my food addiction will never be over.  I love food.  I really do.  I don't love all food however!  I am a snob.  I only like home made or well done food.  I can't handle eating that garbage out of a box, filled with every bit of msg the producer can shove in it.  I won't buy those nasty cream of whatever soups, I can make a rue that tastes better anyway.  I certainly did not become obese because I can't cook.  I can.  I can make something great out of practically nothing, and I swear, I barely use recipes.

This was a huge concern for me when contemplating Weight Loss Surgery.  I don't want to be left not having the foods I enjoy!  I still love food.  I still want to eat food that tastes delicious, but now I need to make sure I can eat a tiny amount and avoid all the fat producing carbs.  This had to happen.  I also have another dilemma.  My family will not eat leftovers.  I, for years, can make a roasted chicken for dinner one night, then male 3-4 different meals with the leftovers, all the while my family not knowing that it was the same roasted chicken.  But how do I do that now, with my bariatric foodie mentality, and not use all the delicious carbs of the world? If I come up with something amazing...you will be the first to know.

This is something I will try to conquer. because I am still the same girl, right? I am still the obese woman.
