"who are you and what have you done with my wife?"

I think this is Joey's favorite phrase lately - at least once a day he gives me the look of "I can't believe I heard you say that" - usually related to food. For the first time ever, I am having a really hard time doing anything healthy. Believe it or not, I don't like vegetables anymore, which pretty much means, I don't like anything that we used to eat. No salads, no sandwiches, no soups. No carrots or sweet peas for snacks.

I knew something was amiss when I was in the Boston airport - reading the menu for Au Bon Pain and thinking - usually, I would have a hard time deciding between all of these delicious items, but now I am having a hard time convincing myself that I could choke down any of them - so I went a few steps down the hall and got a cheeze pizza from Sparro!! Impossible - I thought my life was ending. Joe said "you hate pizza". Followed over the next few days with "but, you don't like mac&cheese" and "are you sure? we've never bought frozen lazagna - you aren't going to like it". Now he's getting used to my new preferences (although he insists there is no pattern - other than veggie-avoidance), and he accompanies me late at night to Burgerville for a hamburger or to the grocery to buy ramen-like noodle packages, with only a little astonishment, and I hear things like "of course you want that - it's full of salt and fat - everything we like!" Fortunately, they do make organic frozen pizza and all-natural beef is pretty easy to find in Portland. Maybe I am trading one sort of health for another: detoxified, but full of clean junk!
