Food: how do I put on weight?

Self-tutoring about holiday eating, and pleasure from food: the tutor opens a question.

Last night, watching the TV show Flipping Out (bravotv.com), I heard Megan say,

Nothing tastes as good as skinny looks.

-Megan, Flipping Out

I was immediately intrigued.

I put on four pounds over Christmas break, but not specifically from eating yummy treats. Simple overeating is what did me in: I ate whenever I was hungry, and whatever I wanted. Most of the food I ate wasn’t necessarily different from normal, just more.

I need to slim back down now, so the question will be, “Does normal food – and a normal portion – accommodate being skinny?” I hope so.

Good luck to anyone trying to lose holiday pounds:)
