Hmm... There is no food that makes me feel bad (with the
exception of my recent difficulties with greens and other
roughage). If I cheat and have something forbidden, I invariably
enjoy it immensely and feel just fine.
Example: Last December, we had a surprise 18th birthday party for
my daughter. We invited some of her friends and ordered some
pizza. I did so much running around that day that I hadn't eaten
much of anything. I figured, what the hell, it has been a long
time since I've eaten pizza, and while I'm at it I'll get some
beer and do it right. So I had a liberal amount of pizza and
three bottles of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I hadn't done anything
like this in a couple of years, I guess. Well, it was
*wonderful*, and I felt genuinely good afterwards and the next
day, as if my entire body were grateful. Of course, I gain
weight at a rapid clip eating such things, but I don't get any
internal signals telling me I shouldn't.
This makes it harder to restrict these foods, I guess.
