Meltdown a la Mode

Last night at around 4:30 am I had a meltdown that involved a ridiculous ice cream sundae created from all the contents of my pantry.  Whole wheat toast with peanut butter, honey, mini M&Ms and chocolate fat free frozen yogurt (I love how I think the fat free will help at this point.) While I was eating it I remember thinking, besides how good I thought it was at the time, I'm glad you're doing this because when you wake up you will realize how wreckless you are being with food all the time.  And now I am having a food baby, feel so guilty that I had to make my first blog about it.  Sometimes you need to hit rock bottom to feel inspired to make a change in your life.  Oh I definitely hit rock bottom last night. 

I've been wanting to start a blog for a while now, based on (trying) to live a healthy lifestyle as a single girl in Manhattan.  I am also a foodie and want to share my thoughts, experiences and ideas about food as I continue to learn.  I've also been wanting to make a healthy lifestyle change.  This seems like the perfect time to start a blog because I have thoughts and new ideas about food, recipes, restaurants mixed up in my head and waiting to burst into a blog.  Unfortunately the first "recipe" I will be sharing on this blog is the "Meltdown a la Mode."  I don't recommend trying this one at home...

On a much more inspired, healthy and positive note, I hope to continue this blog as the Cosmo Chef.  "Cosmo" because I am a normal single girl in Manhattan attempting to live the ultimate cosmopolitan lifestyle -- aren't we all?  (Not Cosmo as in Kramer, as my friend Marissa first thought.)  And "Chef" because I am a foodie, working in a restaurant in Manhattan at this point, and always have new ideas, thoughts, and recipes that I want to share.

No one told us how hard it is to start a new life in the city.  And now it is time to take control, and have the "ultimate" cosmopolitan lifestyle I always pictured myself having -- being healthy, having fun, making money, and looking good doing it!  I think that by organizing some recipes and ideas I can maintain a healthier lifestyle and have some fun entertaining.  All of this can be accomplished in a normal city style apartment (tiny-prewar-nocounterspace-kindakitchens).  So here's to taking control and havin' some fun!
