the table until I had eaten it.
I learned that with enough
sugar or salt, I could make the
taste bearable. Later on, I told
myself that I “should” be eating
this “healthy” fruit, memories of
Dad saying, “Eat it! It’s good for
you,” ringing in my ears. Again, I
became curious and tested. My
taste-buds had it right. Avocado
and cantaloupe are not for type
O (me). Neither are oranges or
strawberries, which I never liked.
Few fruits are actually beneficial
for O blood type bodies. I urge
you to take a look at foods
you are eating but not actually
enjoying, foods that don’t sit
well. While I love the smell of
oranges, they feel awful in my
mouth and even worse in my
stomach. Food is meant to be
pleasurable and enjoyable. It’s
meant to make us feel great
afterward. If the food you are
eating doesn’t do this, please
test it. Eliminate anything that
does not suit your palate or your
body. Never mind what Dad said
about the starving children in
China or some war-torn country.
The pleasurable memories
of Dad or Grandpa and food
can also become problematic.
Perhaps, like me, you have
happy memories of making
waffles with dad, going to
the local bakery to pick up
coffee-cake or doughnuts
after church (along with
getting the Sunday paper),
or driving to the ice cream
stand in the summer. Grandpa
made the best cornbread! He
had an amazing garden. He
also loved to take us all out
for Sunday dinner, typically
to waterfront restaurants,
which I adore to this day. Food
has a tremendous ability to
soothe, especially sweets
and “soft” foods like cake, ice
cream, puddings, bread, and
biscuits/scones. One of my
clients comforted herself with
little Italian rum cakes, which
brought back memories of her
dad. Unfortunately, we can
never get enough of what we
do not need. Rum cakes are
no substitute for hugs and
attention. If you find yourself
hankering for one of these
foods, stop and ask what it is
you really want. Perhaps it’s
time to call your dad.
