I can't tell you even 12 years out how many times I change the channel if I see something that is yummy on TV.  For some reason I can watch the food networks but those commercials and photos?  OH MY

Always Hungry? Blame It On Food Porn

There is no doubt that living in a society in which we are constantly surrounded by highly palatable foods makes not overeating a challenge for most of us.

I can no****ch the Food Network or read cookbooks. I can be stuffed and still want to eat if I see something like that.

Just call me nuts, but I had complications after my surgery for 3 months and just laid in the bed.  Do you know what network I watched 24/7?  The Food Network. I tell everyone I was in mourning   I am sure a professional would have comments on that one

Commercials don't bother me.  It's my specific Pinterest food section.  Yes I have food porn and I have it categorized.  And even that won't bother me...I have to be in a certain mood.  Then every one of my recipes sounds and looks so good. 

My weakness is cheesecake.  Oh yes and I make killer cheesecakes.  Any kind with any kind of crust.  I have had people pay me for cheesecakes.  LOL.  I now make them maybe once or twice a year.  Believe it or not I used to make them almost every weekend...or maybe that isn't so unbelievable

I completely refuse to watch the Food Network or any cooking shows at all, including Triple D (and that is my Boyfriend's favorite)!   With aa experienced chef in the house, it is hard for me to watch shows that do not revolve around food.  I will be the first to admit that I canno****ch them without getting hungry.  So, we have agreed that he will watch any shows while I am not home and any recipes he wants to try have to be altered to fit a more healthier options.   He has had some really great recipes that we have used often and come to enjoy, even tho they are not the original recipe he got on FN or Triple D.   

It's a nice trade off and I am not subjected to the "Food Porn" I have grown to dislike so much!
