Thanks Bobish,
I believe in looking on the bright side of life whenever I can...but ask my hubby and he will tell you that when I blow-up...I go nuclear!
But life is too short to hold grudges, hate or hang on to negative thoughts...I prefer to act and move forward than to stagnate and steep.
I have a rather specific diet in the evenings when I have to work the next day...no carbs, they create too many problems with thickness and emptying the next day...a little meat, fish or chicken if I like but usually it is just veggies and artichokes turn into mush when you cook them for 20 mins in a pressure cooker...you don't eat the leaves 
just the little bite-sized soft part at the bottom of the big leaves...the advantage is that it takes time to eat them and I have to slow down...I am usually a speed-eater...never take the time to chew or taste (hereditary!) so this is my way of slow-eating.
They are gas forming but they run through me in under 2hrs so I can sleep easy.
My yogurt lunches are the same idea...I eat for my geographic situation...meaning...when traveling I stick to mostly proteins, work is low residue, staying home for the weekend? I let myself enjoy food.
Sounds complicated but it works for me.
