So I have decided to get back to the structured meal plan (+ thanks for every supportin comment about that topic). I've invested in a german nutritionist who is working in the psychosomatic clinic next to my research building and I think it was good thing to do- I am now one weak on this plan and I haven't have any problem with it. Well the only problem is that the nutritionist insists on so much cooking. I am not bad in cooking, there were times when I was actually too (and unhealthy) good in cooking, measuring every gram, every degree, experimenting, decorating and... not eating. But it is not really my thing. I don't like following recipes and I am afraid of not following them (well it is not only the recipe problem...). I am bored in the kitchen so that I am reading a book or cleaning while cooking and I overcook/burn etc. my meals so often. I don't care. I've spend so much time thinking about food to be able to love (or at least like) cooking. I like to cook for others and I am looking forward to arrange big breakfast session for my family and friends at home in August. I like to bake for some occasions - birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries, but I would never bake just for fun. And now I must cook every day (although I am going to mensa/caffeteria and eating warm meal daily). According to my nutritionist the meal plan is not about nutrition, the word meal contains the preparation, habits, traditions, simply the eating culture. She's right, I need to work on this.
I've noticed that this detachedness or inertness (does this word exist? I mean being inert) may be some kind of defence mechanism, some kind of supression of feelings around food. It is not only cooking, I generally don't like speaking about food, buying it (althoug it is getting slightly better) or food magazines or blogs. Have you experienced something like it?
I hope everyone has a nice pre-summer weekend, I am studying today and tomorrow I am heading to Baltic See for one day!
