There was a time, once, that I felt it really important to track down every morsel of food that went into my mouth, not in a 'rexic sort of way, but as a tribute, an appreciation of glorious, glorious food.
Mostly it was spawned when bestie SarahGo had other besties whom I did not know (check out that rhyme) who decided to do a detox blog (www.holdthewaffles.blogspot.com). Of course we were appalled by such vanity; men on detox diets going to the gym to do YOGA was too much of an overload for our traditionally gendered minds.
It was then that we first brainstormed the idea of starting a website dedicated to our first and only true love: food. After all, we could be considered avid eaters, even emotional eaters-- every time a detox dieter posted about feeling faint we angrily chomped on Werther's and asked the Gods above "Why, Why, Why!?" So we excitedly mapped, prepared, and planned how we were going to record every enticing bite of caloric substance that went into our mouths. Then we never did.
But don't think we forgot about it either. Some things can't bloom until they're ready. And today things are getting ready:
"What have you eaten today?"
"2 sodas, one apple, left over dim sum, one bag of pretzels. i really want peanut m&ms but i'm holding out. you? i wish we had started that food blog."
"It's not too late! I mean really we eat too much to not record our intake (and perhaps digestive processes...?)
I have downed ONE bagel w/ schmear (okay it was a 'light' Lender's bagel with lowfat cream cheese-sorry), ONE COSI cobb salad with bread (thanks mom & dad!), two lattes, some stale office popcorn, and four Werthsies. And I'm still raring to go."
Stay tuned for the announcement of a NEW blog address in which you can get your voyeur on to the story of two girls' mouths and what they put in them.
And 'rexics and 'limics aren't allowed to use the material as masturbation fodder. Seriously. We see you.
