The title of this blog comes from a song by Elvis Costello. I like the song and the sentiment. We have a lot of gifts for the peaceful. This nice tree ornament includes engraving - which could be Peace on Earth 2008.
I am 55. I am morbidly obese. I have been generally healthy until the last couple of years, but now I am experiencing high blood pressure, pain in my hips and swelling in my left ankle and knee.
I have battled my weight since puberty. If it is actually possible to ruin your metabolism by starvation dieting - I did that a long time ago. I am not sure that is true. I think I was born with a very low metabolism and I don't enjoy life much when I live as I know I should.
I love to cook and entertain and eat. I have dozens of cookbooks. Food is entertainment,creativity, comfort and my way of expressing love.
It is difficult to deal with so much of my identity having to be diminshed in order to be healthy. But to become disabled or die because of it is ridiculous and I know it.
