Stress and diet.

[wolven7]

Need to to remember to eat more correctly... Do you have any idea how difficult it is to cook a decent meal, only for yourself? The phrase "What's the point?" come so readily to mind. I have two steaks, and no fresh vegetables, for sides. Granted, with the mney i have, coming in, i could buy enough, for me. But what's the point? If i'm the only one eating, why don't i just buy a frozen thing, from the store, and eat that?

I like to cook for people. I love to create something that is then destroyed, in the act of sustaining life, and not mentally or in a more esoterically physcal manner, as with art, or music. But the physical food... Well, let's just leave it at "i've always wanted to be a chef." I love cooking....

Must eat better... Go to store... &c.

Later.

I understand that mostly, though it's not as serious for me. I love to share my food with friends. I like the idea of feeding them, mostly fro what you said, however, I can cook for myself and not feel ...out of sorts? It feels just as nice to create the dish, if only for me. It may feel better if I can share the creation, but joy is still invloved.

And you can cook for me, anyday.

I totally understand. I feel that way ALL the time. I love to cook but when it's for myself there isn't anything I get out of it. I mean yeah the meal but I coulda jsut had a frozen organic diner and been a'ight. In fact thats what I do most of the time as I feel rotton for making lots of dishes that I never want to clean. PLUS I burn things a lot more when I cook for myself, because I get bored while in the middle of the cooking and wonder off to do somethign ever more pressing and then four hours later my dad comes home and yells "Can I turn this off now that it's er... black"

Not so much out of sorts, as... unmotivated. Etcetera.

Yeah, no motivation, no want to cook, only for me. Ah well.
