I'm just not hungry...

[Linn Bee]

ray's two cents :

Most days for lunch I'll buy a pastry or something like that, and it'll be enough.

Here's where the concern step in. Your body needs good food. Pastry doesn't make it on anyone's list of 'healthy'. The only healthy pastry-type food is doughnuts. The good-for-you part is the hole. It is low in calories. LOL Good for me, not necessary for you.

Ya need to plan. Plan and eat small amounts of good food. I could list some, but you know what is healthy.

And you don't have to worry about 10 years from now. DH, his mother, and two sisters were still thin at 58 and up. The girls forget to eat. Mom - now passed - lived to 94 in good health. DH? I don't think he's ever missed a meal. He loves his snacks. I blame it on his mother. No way I could measure up to her cooking and she 'tended' him well into his 30s before I took him away. (Still feel guilty about that.) Mom gave that guy great genes.

His chest has dropped a bit so his pant size went up an inch in the last 43 years, but his weight remains static. He works his food off. Spent two months sawing downed trees in the gully, pulling brambles, and stacking wood. Last year he spent all summer - in true pioneer style - grubbing out trees, weeds, brush, and brambles by hand on two acres of junk, now field. Amazing guy I've got!

Oh, and I do not like cheese cake either. Or chocolate! I'm more of a starchy, salty over-eater than a sweets over-eater.​

Well I dont' eat breakfast early but I think it's habit cuz we were poor. (ok this is where you all say , aaaaawwwwwww). I usually eat brunch.

Anyhow I didn't like cheese cake either til I had a sliver of Sister Jeans cheese cake and now hers is all I eat. Not even DW's . It make Sister Jean feel good to know that.

I'm mostly fine as soon as I've roused myself from slumber and actually gone into the kitchen.

I find at that time, I can handle a nice big bowl of cornflakes.

Brunch is what we usually have on Saturdays.

During the school term, everything is planned out to the second so I get three good meals.

Everyone gets slack in the holidays, people wake up late, there's no specified lunch break, we all lose track of time... etc.

OK... I think I have to put my foot down here.

I'm not worried about my weight at all. I really don't care if I'm fat, or if I'm stick thin like all the airbrushed models in magazines. I'm not that type of girl! I would hate to be that thin!

What I am worried about is the fact that I might be damaging my health if I don't eat full meals on a regular basis. I think I might add a tomato and cheese roll to that pastry today...

I think I started feeling physically ill after just eating a little ice cream.

It's probably just my growing years are coming to an end. I used to be ravenous after several bowls of cornflakes, nowadays I'm full with a banana and a slice of toast.

Oh, chicken is one of the things I can eat until I burst. I think once I managed... six chicken drumsticks in one sitting?

I couldn't eat anything else after that.

That actually sounds pretty good! He does sound like a great guy, not afraid to get his hands dirty.

I wouldn't mind stacking wood either if it weren't for some of the nasty bugs you get out there. I am terrified of insects.

But love some good physical labour!

WOW, someone else in this world doesn't like chocolate?!
