Cooking For One

When our life goes through so many changes all at once, it can become overwhelming to see the little things that are so very different then the way they were before. Little things that we never thought of because they didn't mean anything when it was 'we' instead of 'me'.

Point 1- Cooking for one.
Cooking for one is next to impossible. Everything in the grocery store is packaged for multiple people. Every time I go to make myself dinner, I am reminded of the scene in Fight Club when Edward Norton starts talking about how everything on an airplane is made in single servings. Maybe I should live on an airplane.
It took me a few weeks to get the courage up to make dinner for myself. And like, a real dinner. Pork chops, mashed potatoes..the works. And, as I predicted, I had a ton of leftovers because, even though I am a weight watcher member, and I know my portions and portion control, it just looks sad to see that tiny pork chop all alone in the skillet.
