Therefore, I like to exercise.
I love food, but when you are only 4′10″, your calorie intake is kind of limited. (For some reason, when you are small, your body doesn’t need quite as many calories to run as someone who is tall.) I made peace with my height a long time ago. After all, it hasn’t changed since I was about 12 years old. So I know where my calorie intake should be and how to adapt my workout for the days when my love of food might take me over the top of that.
I love all types of food – mexican, italian, american, greek, middle eastern, japanese (including sushi!), chinese, polynesian…. Seriously. I make sounds when I eat. Can’t help it – I’ve done it forever I think.
At my house, food has always been one way we all come together. When I was growing up, we actually all sat down together to eat. For a family of eight kids, that was always a fun rowdy time. Now I make it home most weekends, and we still all eat together. What a life :)
