After 2 weeks of eating just soft foods, mostly yogurts and creamy soups, today I finally had bread.  I couldn’t have the French, crusty, baguette that I adore, but this soft brioche tastes like heaven.

Yes, my heaven is made of bread and butter. And coffee with chocolate and cream.

My dental issues continue. I had laser surgery and gum graft in 2 areas in my mouth. The front upper and the lower left, so eating, even soft foods, has been tricky and awkward.  I still can’t have any foods that are hot, spicy, hard, seeded, etc, for another 2 weeks.

I am being extra careful as I don’t want to go through this surgery again.  It is way too painful and expensive.   I just they help save the implants and make the gum healthier.

There is always a silver lining, and in this case is that I lost weight. I am not sure how much, as I haven’t really weighted myself in ages… I can’t find the scale.  Blame it on the messy, chaotic state of our condo.  Even though we don’t have much furniture, whatever we have are in boxes, and it is a nightmare any time we need to look for something.

There is progress being made on this condo renovation, slowly but steadily. I can actually see the light at the end of this tunnel. And it is so bright, so beautiful, so full of hope.

This “not eating” really illustrated to me, how much I depend on food to even out my moods.  Hi, I am Ana, and I am an emotional eater.  I run to food to deal with mental discomfort. Well, for any reason really.

Many times, throughout the day, I find myself thinking of food. I know I am not hungry, what I am is anxious, worried, etc. I am happy I eat, I am sad I eat. Any emotion is dealt with food. And when I cannot rely on food, it becomes really tricky.  I am lost.

Speaking of food, the pictures below are some of the snacks I bought for the auditors that are visiting my office for a few days.  After only 2 years since the last physical audit, the auditors are back. They seem to love our little firm.  We are guessing it is because we moved from New York to Florida and they want to see if we actually have an office, or I am working out of my bedroom.

Those cookies and pastries were fresh out of the oven, from a French bakery.  Perhaps I can charm the auditors with food.

Thank you for stopping by.  I wish you all a blessed weekend! I will try not to be a stranger.  I keep promising that and failing.  Even my blog doesn’t recognize me anymore. Sad!
