I have found that food still tastes good and I still enjoy it, but I am becoming less attached to it. In the past, I overate and had an unhealthy diet. I have come to understand that I was in fact attached to the sense pleasure of eating food.

Now, like others who have posted here, I see food primarily as fuel. I eat several times a day, because my activity level requires it. But I have managed to transition to a healthy vegetarian diet. Sadly, this has been helped along considerably by the people around me and their obsession with food. It has made me realize how attached we can become to food and the negative effects it can have.

I still enjoy a good meal and sweet treats like chocolate; but I eat them in moderation (a couple small pieces of chocolate, small portions of a delicious food, or a big meal every once in awhile).
