I went to Shaw's to buy puff pastry dough for my deli-roll. My deli-roll is currently in the oven.

It turns out that

son_of_paladin works at this Shaw's and not the other one closer to his house. I went to his ine when I saw him.

I ended up buying a ton of fruit to make smoothies with, baby carrots, coffee milk, and some weight-watchers ice cream cone things, besides the dough. That's it.

And I realized that I really have taken control of my eating. I didn't buy any junk food, (weight watchers totally does not count, because of the miniscule amount of calories). I could have justified getting real ice cream by the fact that soon I will be digging and I'll be exercising all day every day. And it would have made sense.

And one could say that deli-roll is bad for me, but I like meat, and when I eat meat I find myself full afterwards, and then I don't go snacking on other foods.

And I like the feeling of being able to buy whatever [kosher] food I want, and know that I'm responsible enough to not overeat. Perhaps I've turned into a normal person, the kind that doesn't have to worry about dieting and just eats a healthy amount of good food.

I still have some things I will stay away from. Like macaroni and cheese. Which is in my house right now, but I don't buy it at school. I might run into trouble in Israel with all the kosher restaurants, (not now, but when I make aliyah) but a starving archaeologist is by definition starving, so I'll probably just make my own food...Who am I kidding? Well hopefully being an archaeologist will just give me enough exercise that I can still eat things like felafel.

And I never thought I would long for Israeli pizza until I stopped eating vegetarian food in trief restaurants, and kosher pizza is usually sub-par, but there's a place on emek r'faim called Pizza Meter that I love. I totally need to get to Emek Rfaim before I go digging. It's a hike from the beit shmuel, but that'll be good for me.
