After a while of kind of wanting to lose a bit of weight and using that as an excuse to go on rides a few times a week, to then going to the gym and discovering that I enjoyed lifting weights, my relationship with food has changed.
I still am a food seeky and will plan whole vacations based on restaurants I want to go to. For everyday food, though, I have started thinking of it in components like xx protein with yy vegetables and then zz carb == fuel for body to build the right stuff. It's weird, I wonder if I'd ever be able to go back to the relaxed old ways.
Back in high school days we used to laugh along with this song. Now I think it describes me :/
This has completely happened to me too, helped along by myfitnesspal.
Even gone to the point of suggesting to the employee committee at work that there be more protein rich options for vegetarians as for us the meal is usually the same as for meat eaters but with the meat replaced by vegetables.
