Tuna and courgette fritter was on today's menu.
I. Hate. Fish.
This was a big deal for me, and a big step in recognising food as a fuel and not just a treat. So, as well as a smoothie to start me off, and a salad for lunch, I was going to take the plunge with the fishy friends!!
I don't dislike the taste of fish, rather the thought of eating something that has happily been living, eating, and merrily going about it's business in the same water as... well.... it's business!
So, a tin of tuna, a grated courgette, and some herbs, all mixed into a creamy texture and cooked in coconut oil into a fritter. It tasted ok. I survived half of one, but the psychological challenge was there, something I will need to overcome. Every mouthful of the surprisingly soft pancake felt like an internal war going on inside my head. One side screaming at the other, trying to make me heave up the toxins I was ingesting, the other side giving a scornful sneer in response, undeterred in it's determination to get the job done.
I'll just introduce a reality check here... yes this is just a tuna fritter.
My relationship with food is screwed!!
