I have a similar food dilema at work.
I'm in the kitchen, yes. But the kitchen IS the business. I answer the phone, I wait on costumers. People love it because they can stand there and watch us cook. It makes them feel special - like they are at Grandma's house and she's cooking up a storm just for them.
Things are constantly in the oven, on the stove, etc. I almost never get to sit and eat. Typically it's a few bites here and there (then washing my hands for the zillionth time after each graze moment). We do have a microwave, so sometimes I bring food to be heated. BUT. That can be hard because if I'm heating up some spaghetti and meatballs, the customers will want it. Then it looks awkward if I'm eating food other than what I'm preparing. Because if *I* won't eat whatever it is I'm making that day, why should they buy it, kwim?
Salads are good. I like to chop up a whole pepper, an entire cucumber, shred a carrot, etc and put them each in their own little Tupperware container in my fridge. It's like my own personal salad bar. Each day I'll just dump a little of whatever I feel like into my salad container and mix it up fresh. Add turkey or leftover chicken (I avoid tuna because of the smell), seeds, chickpeas - whatever.
I also like the bagel thins. I make a sandwich with ham or turkey, Cabot 50% reduced fat cheddar slice, lettuce, tomato. Yum. Soy chips or nuts, fruit. Carrots, grape tomatoes or celery. I eat a LOT. Perhaps that's why I don't lose weight
But because I'm around yum-o food all day I have to have plenty of healthy to nosh on or I'll be grabbing warm gooey chocolate chip cookies. Or rolls. Or cinnamon buns. Or....you get the idea

That is AWESOME!
I started singing it before you even said to 
And please know I don't think there's a darn thing wrong with wanting more - and feeling more confortable etc.- if I did I should just get the he!! off this thread. 
Especially feeling more confortable - I SO get that. . I'm sorry I come across that way. But of course I HATE put down words to ourselves - just hate it. 
Hate not having a mouse. 
I'm really hoping that Whiskey and Zulu are girls though - I love those names
All at the same time.
That's a great moment. 
I can only dream about doing that. 
to you.
Seriously, there is not one coming. Just the beam. And the mats. This is a pic of the wee one, just for you.
) I literally feared food. Not *all* food - but I basically ate the same thing day after day and was afraid to vary. While my body was thin and healthy my head was not. Sadly, at the moment neither my head nor my body is in that healthy place that I so desire.
