Should Food Make You This Happy?

     Today was a furlough day from work, one of those 'unpaid holidays' forced upon workers as a cost savings measure.  I have one a month, and I'm trying to be positive about it.  Two days ago, I was shopping with a friend, and we ran into a local food market, and as I passed the fish counter, I saw a sign!  Nope, not a gift from God, a regular sign, saying "Russian King Crab Legs  $6.99".  If you're a crab lover, you know that's about the average price for snow, not King crab, so I grabbed two pounds....  for today. 

     I stayed up late last night, playing on the computer, and watching TV, and slept in late today.  I woke up, stayed in my pajams, and watched a movie.  Read a book I've been working on.  THEN I made lunch.  I steamed the legs in some Chardonney, with lemon slices and garlic, and ate them drizzled with garlic butter.  Yummy!!!!  Then, I got concerned.  I mean, I've lost a ton of weight....  am I supposed to let food make me this happy?  Is that a warning sign of an eating problem?  Have I learned nothing about myself in the past few years?  wow....  then I went back into the kitchen and finished the legs.  Yep, I decided food is allowed to make you happy.  It can't be the sole source of the happiness in your life, but it's perfectly OK for it to be a contributing factor.  I was also happy about my pajama day, and reading books, and napping.  I wasn't happy about the loss of a days pay, but thats out of my control.  I can control the other things, and I made it an MC day.  It's almost bedtime, and I'm still in my pajama's.  I read the rest of my book, watched a few TV shows, emptied the dishwasher.... and thats about it.  I don't get a lot of 'do-nothing' days, and today made me happy. 
     I do worry about regaining weight.  I can't imagine going back to being 430 pounds....  I just can't.  It would be too hard, now that I there's so much more I can do physically being smaller.  I just can't ever let that concern suck the joy out of simple pleasures, like crab legs on a day off. 
    What simple things make you happy, and do you worry about them?
