So, I am considering making brownies this afternoon- as a matter of fact, I am pretty sure I am making brownies this afternoon. Why? Because I really want one. Now, I had a chat with myself while cleaning the dishes if I am well aware of how much weight I have to lose, why in heaven's name am I going to make brownies to just have sitting around my kitchen. I answered myself by saying I really want one and I like the way they taste. SO this conversation with myself got more in depth and got to the big question of why do I eat what I know is not good for me and certainly won't help me lose weight... my answer was because I like to eat and I like the way food tastes. Sounds like a fairly simple and straightforward answer if you ask me. And then... oh yes, I remember Miss Oprah saying that she used to think the same and it was W.R.O.N.G. There is something deeper- an underlying something or other- that makes a person eat, whether it be the wrong things or too much... ugh. You know what that means??? I want to make and eat my brownies but I don't know why!?!?!?!? Something to ponder while they're baking I suppose... (oh yeah, and I plan on going onto oprah.com to see if I can get a little help getting to the bottom of this!)
