What did you have for supper?

[red]

wow guess im different. when im fat that means im stress because i eat alot! when im slim means life is good and sexlife is good. ha ha! i cope stress thru eating.

[Edwin]

Yes, Red, you know we have so many things that make us fat! If you don't get enough sleep that will make you fat. If you get upset that will make you fat! We just can't win for losing! Our daughter who lives here near us has the same thing as you do. She said that she eats for comfort. She told me that at one time she started to get fat, and discovered that she was eating more because she was upset, and was using it to cope with stress, so you are not alone.

Yes, Red, your sex life will keep you thin, and keep you happy at the same time. I have heard that if you crave food and can have sex that takes your food craving away! Of course that only works if you are married. So more sex and less food is the way to go! Of course we need good nutrition to be at our best for our sex life!

Carol cooked some meatballs in water, then browned them in a skillet. She also baked potatoes and put cheese on them, grated, unmelted, and they were both good! Afterwards we ate a piece of peach pie a piece! Now I am eating a special dark, mildly sweet, one half bar of chocolate bar, and it is very good, and I understand they are very healthy to eat! It is a natural source of Flavanol Antioxidants! Dark chocolates are the best! I am trying only to eat 1/2 bar! I was having trouble getting it inside its wrapper, so I was almost afraid I might have to eat the other half if I couldn't get it in its wrapper, but I did manage to get it reswrapped!

I was invited to eat supper at our kids' house as there were having their friends come, and those friends' parents had been my friends, and their grandparents had been my parents' friends. Anyway it was fun visiting, and I had a home made hamburger bun and two hamburgers, mayonaise, catchup, lettuce, onions, pickles, jello, milk, and homemade icecream. It was very good, and I had enough to eat that I am not eating my peanutbutter, honey, and drinking my milk this evening!

[Edwin]

Our youngest daughter gave me some peaches and told me not to let them get old, so I am not. I am having peaches and whole grain bread and butter once again, afterwhich I think I will eat the other two cookies that I have not eaten yet with milk! I will probably eat another slice of that bread as well. I probably will have peanut butter, honey and drink some milk later, and I possibly might have some chocolate as well! Last night I had so much to eat at our daughter's house that I skipped out on the peanut butter, honey, drinking the milk and chocolate as well. But this night I will probably have them. I have enough peaches left for peaches and bread one more time!

[Edwin]

Wow, did I ever have a change in my supper minu! Our daughter came over from their house 600 feet away from ours with potatoes, gravy, pork steak, apple sauce, and lettuce, so she covered my buttered bread and put it in the fridge, and I put the peaches I was eating back also, and then I will have bread and peaches maybe for lunch. I had already eating one slice of bread, and a few peaches, so I will have enough to eat!

I was busy helping some friends tonight and just realized that I didn`t have supper. Now I`m hungry and it`s almost 12:30,not good to eat too much this late. .

[Edwin]

Yes, Smiley, you are 3 hours, or time zones ahead of us. I have had that same experience of being too busy to think about eating. Then often I have eaten on my way home almost before the next meal is ready. A former neighbor observed that I didn't eat until after my walking, and he didn't think it was good for me to eat that late, but I do all the time when I am walking. But, then I don't go to bed immediately after I eat either, but I allow enough time for the food to digest a little. If I am hungry I will eat no matter how late it is, but it probably is not good to over eat that late either. This time of the year when I am late getting back from my walks because of the long daylight hours, Carol cannot wait to eat with me, but she usually has already eaten. With her diabetes I think it is important for her not to wait too late to eat. If she is not sleeping, and she gets up to eat something as harmless as cheerios and milk, her blood glucose level is high from that the next morning. So, she tries not to eat late, but if she can't sleep, sometimes eating something helps her to sleep, but then it causes her blood glucose level to become elevated.

I`m making up for it today! A regular feeding frenzy!

[Edwin]

Yes, Smiley, you have to even it out somehow! I ate supper with our youngest daughter and granddaughter. We had roast beef, smothered with catsup! We also had tater tots and green beans, and milk. I ate a couple of cookies earlier. She sent half the cookies home with me, and she kept part of them. I have 2 cookies left, and I am saving them for when I want cookies worse than I do right now! It was a very good supper!
