When focusing on creating the best optimal diet, the food and its meaning began to lose substance. by spending all my time trying to create a meal that was okay for me, by trying to keep 12+ hour intervals between dinner and breakfast, i lost time to eat with my family. My favourite galoti kebabs were no longer juicy because they had little to no oil, i no longer shared cakes on birthdays, sitting awkwardly with no plate as everyone enjoyed. In airplanes, when everyone's trays were cleared, I was still waiting till 6 pm to open my food.
