Ok i have quite a dilemma. I love cooking new foods and new desserts that i havent before. Its my passion and i hope to attend a culinary school sometime in the future to one day open my own restaurant. I am also 240 lbs and hating the weight i put on. lets just say a year and a half ago i was 180lbs then something traumatic happened (wont say what) that made me find comfort in the foods i shouldn't eat. I always loved cooking food and i do up until now (it had nothing to do with that event, its always been something i enjoy). i cook for my family and i want to eat healthier but i dont want to impose my eating changes to the rest plus i dont want to stop learning new dishes either. I always find, though, like if i make a cake, that im eating (over the week) a big chunk of it. i dont know how to lose weight without stifling my desire to cook good food. i like vegetables but i couldnt see myself becoming a vegetarian. anyone have ideas for ways to lose weight when dealing with food habits? i get i need to exercise but what about the food and my desire to try and make things like beef wellington or a mousse cake (i really just want to make them to learn more than i want to eat it but then i end up eating it anyways because it would be a waste otherwise). Is there any way i can make the foods i want to make and still lose weight? for instance, i wanted to try making this cake i saw at a pastry shop. now i dont really care tooo much about eating it as much as i care about learning the techniques and doing the sugar work (decoration on the cake). I really want to make it and get the sense of accomplishment from making a beautiful cake but then i think about wanting to lose weight and having to eat some of the cake. what can i do in situations like that?

I can see your dilemma. It's like asking an alcoholic who works at the bar to not drink as much right? Well maybe that's an extreme example but you catch my drift. B/c you want to attend culinary school, you will always be around good food obviously. Now i've never been to culinary school and am no expert but I don't see it anywhere in the rulebook that a chef has to eat all his food! Sure you will need to taste it to make sure it's legit but you don't have to eat everything you make. Another thing is that there are plenty of chefs who are not overweight. I've seen a ton of fat ones but there still are fairly thin ones. They probably workout more and or watch portions. I think the key to you is since you're going to be around yummy food to limit the portions while eating.
