Memories and Food

Recently, I ate at a restaurant only because of the memories associated with it? Do you do that too?

Having eaten at this place many years ago and not having it available near me, meant, of course I had to eat here again right? With so many memories associated with the place, it was nearly impossible for me to pass it up. Funny, how things that we wouldn’t typically eat are now ok and justified based on our associations with them.

The food was just as good as I remembered it and the price not too high but what had changed was me. Since I overall eat more healthy now, eating this meal sure made me feel not so great. It was a nice treat but the after effects are felt via a bloated tummy and indigestion. So what’s the message?

Memories are wonderful and should be relieved if they can be but healthy eating disrupted by not so clean eating sure can wipe out all that hard work you put into yourself.
