demakatI was going to talk about things that happened today at work and how I felt about them...but first FOOD!
So I'm enjoying lentils and stuff. This time it was lentils and portabella mushrooms. But I have been wanting something like peach dumplings. Let me tell you this is fruity sugary heaven in a bowl. whole peach, pit and all, wrapped in a dough made of cream cheese and flour (like a pie crust, but cream cheese and butter not just butter) and then boiled till soft. You cut it open and take out the pit and then kind of chop everything up in a bowl together. Then you pour melted butter over and dump cinnamon sugar on it. Then you eat it and at the end you die of a delicious food coma.
I'm pretty sure this would send me into a coma, but of the diabetic variety. Plus I can't have the dairy parts of that.
I took frozen peaches and cooked them with a little sugar and a ton of cinnamon. Then I made a dough out of flour, olive oil and some water till it was malleable. I put that on the peaches in little chunks and microwaved it...cause I was too lazy for the oven, but it should work in there too. Could use a tiny bit of salt to be closer because it isn't swimming in salted butter, but otherwise its awesome.

So today I encountered the assistant manager that makes me feel a little uncomfortable. Apparently she had been off helping at a store in iowa and now she is back for a while. But She makes me uncomfortable because I suspect her of gravitating towards me because we're both fat. Like we're going to share "healthy eating" tips or something.
I was trying to explain this to a friend while we were walking to the store, and she pointed out that its like her with other asian people where they automatically think they'll both have something in common...because they happen to both be asian? That shouldn't and often doesn't matter.
Its not even people in authority either, because I really like the store manager, and the other two managers at the same level as her. Just every time I interact with her it feels like I'm a cat and someone just licked my fur in the wrong direction. O.o *cringe*
It just isn't going to work for me if she wants to talk food and every time I paint a picture she comes in and lets me know that I can substitute water for oil in that and make it way healthier! Well whoopie do! Thank you, I know that already. I know she hasn't like SEEN it but I have lost quite a bit of weight, and amazingly I still eat oil sometimes OMG SOMEONE CALL THE HEALTHY POLICE THIS WOMAN IS EATING OIL! Someone arrest me! I've made my own deliciously fried hashbrowns too!
...I guess if anyone reading has made it out the other side of my sarcasm-fest I am poorly trying to say: Hey everyone is different, what works for you might not work for other people!
Take in all the healthy eating crap that is out there, try it out even and then assess how it makes you FEEL.
I might not lose any more weight than I have already, I am not striving for that right now, and that is OKAY! I am okay how I am, even if who I am right now wants to cover my ears and go "la la la" when I have to work with the one manager.
time for bed now maybe. I need to pack and bring my lunch tomorrow because eating at work is expensive!
