The colours of my food

 

About eighty percent of my food is vegetables. The intense green of the veggies comforts me. My best combination of colours is when I add something whitish, like the potatoes, to the deep green of the rest.

Even if a lot of green with some white is for me the best combination of colours on my plate, I can't avoid other coloured veggies, just because I neurotically stick to that combination! And, honestly, I enjoy a lot the different colours I can eat. For instance now, pumpkin, red cabbage, and of course the green of some other vegetable is a great ensemble that gives me another kind of inner comfort when I prepare my food and when I have it on my plate!

Colours help me in stimulating my expectations. Something that I have been missing in my growing up, therefore my problematic relationship with food. Eating alone helps me establishing a relationship I never develop with food. Also sitting at the table helps. Instead of eating en passant while doing something else I take my time and space and learn to enjoy my food!

These are further little steps that contribute in improving my everyday life.
