Geek Cooks

I haven’t posted in a while, primarily because I have been dealing with what I can only describe as an identity crisis. Since this is a form of my therapy, I figured I should talk about it here. Everyone around me says “stop losing weight, you’re small enough”, etc. I finally started to believe that when a couple weeks ago, wouldn’t you know it, someone called me fat. When I was much bigger no one ever did, suddenly 200 pounds smaller and I’m still fat. I shrugged it off at the time with a snide comment but it really did bug me. However after some soul searching I’m back to writing and back to cooking. I’m still losing weight but I’ve cut it back quite a bit as I realized that now the 25 pounds I want to lose is more than 10% of my body weight. That really drove it home.
