gamergirl 4,610 Posted November 3, 2013 I've changed my food porn to be sleever-friendly foods. I make them, I take photos of them, I blog them, and I enjoy eating them. So I still enjoy food, just good-for-me food. I hope it stays that way for me. 1 NMJG reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sapMegan 79 Posted November 3, 2013 . I did the same thing the other day. Whipped up this awesome meal and heaped it on my husband's plate! If we get hubby to put on weight we look even skinnier right!?!? 1 BlessedBeyondMeasure2012 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmandaRaeLeo 2,146 Posted November 3, 2013 If we get hubby to put on weight we look even skinnier right!?!? My hubby and I were having this convo today. He's gained and I'm losing. I still out weight him by leaps and pounds but the gap is narrowing. Plus I'm taller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TJL 222 Posted November 3, 2013 I'm guilty of the filling other peoples plates with too much food. The other night my hubby said"Just how much do you think I can eat?" But talking about food or watching shows about food doesn't bother me, it's only the eating of it that gets me in trouble! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gomekast 559 Posted November 4, 2013 My husband and I just had this talk. I asked him if my potions had increased since I stopped eating the regular food..he said he didn't notice because his potions in general were out of control. I told him I would be more conscious of what I make for the family and of my serving sizes too. I think he just was afraid to say yes they were..and until stumbling onto this thread..I hadn't realized I was doing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gamergirl 4,610 Posted November 4, 2013 That's funny I'm doing the opposite. I'm feeding everyone much healthier food and much smaller portions because I see how little we need to survive. I had a house guest and I am sure the poor man was hungry the whole time because we thought we were giving him huge portions but they were only huge for us 2 oz eaters. I literally had to make him a Peanut Butter sandwich AFTER dinner one night! Poor guy. 1 soocalchic reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clk 3,519 Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) So first, the pictures of your food porn made me laugh. Green things are NOT food porn! Food porn is a greasy cheeseburger and fries. It's an Italian beef sandwich ordered hot, dipped. It's a deep dish pie loaded up with sausage (oh MAN I miss pork) with a tank of beer on the side. It is not a salad, even one with dressing. Also, I am truly guilty of being a food pusher but only on my husband. The man initially gained a few after my sleeve. Why? I'm a plate filler, too, and naturally couldn't eat all that food. So I'd shove all my leftovers off onto him and he'd eat them. Or I'd cook enough for my pre-op stomach and expect him to eat 3/4 of the food by himself. I'd bake a whole loaf of bread but couldn't even eat a whole slice so he'd eat it all. I do send food into work with him now. I love to bake, I keep enough for everyone in my house to have one or two small servings and out it goes. I'm kind enough to send a card with nutritional stats for the office folk. But let's be real - if you eat more than one cookie you didn't want to see the nutritional stats, anyway. Maybe that's enabling? Not sure. In fairness, my husband's office is full of military men that work out every day and almost everyone is in very good shape. And I might send in two dozen Cookies to be shared amongst the seventy coworkers in his division. I'm sure they're doing alright. They get worried that I'm sick when I miss a week of sending in baked goods. Now he's learned to say no. He doesn't try to eat my portion, too. I learned that it's okay to throw food away - even cake or pie! - if my family will not or should not eat it. But food porn should be in a dedicated thread, in my opinion, just to be safe. I firmly believe talking about food should be A-okay, but going that extra step and posting a picture that makes people salivate is cruel to those of us that won't be triggered and could be a trigger to someone already struggling. And I still say none of this is food porn. ~Cheri Edited November 6, 2013 by clk 1 EarthyGoalie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arts137 1,811 Posted November 12, 2013 No such thing as food porn. It's just practice. I mean if you watch TV or read magazines, or cook, you gotta deal with the food that is omniprecent in our world. We will always be surrounded by temptations. So keep it/thm porn coming. If I can't deal with pictures, how the heck will I deal with the real thing? 3 clk, ReDbEaN and BlessedBeyondMeasure2012 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
