Since I was banded I probably cook 95% of our meals where as before we ate out or had fast food at least 80% of the time...what a huge difference. I dug out some old cookbooks, I get some recipes off TV, I love Healthy Recipes and Recipe Calculator From SparkRecipes.com and there are a couple more websites but I absolutely love to cook now especially knowing what a difference I am making not only for me but for my families life!! I have a 3 year...I need to show him the proper way to eat...not the way we were going!!

YES: I share your love of cooking, I have always been a cook I do catering now, that I do not mine beeing seen.

All the best to you, and keep on cooking.

LOVE IT!!!

I have always love to peruse cookbooks and cooking shows . .. I still do! And yes, I am cooking more too. Amazing.

Oh, how funny! I found myself glued to the Food Network the entire liquid phase of my diet as I was recovering. My family found it a little odd at first. However, I have found that is a way to get some great recipes and modify to meet my needs and the needs of my family.You are not alone!

Thanks everyone...I am glad that I am not alone!

I try to stay away from the food network and food scented candles - LOL! I love cooking too! I still cook for my family, only now I only have a small portion which I eat very slowly and actually enjoy much more than I used to. Plus, I enjoy the left overs the next day for lunch and suppers at work. I'm so happy to be eating small portions and feel very satisfied and feminine. Its all good!
