workerbeet, I hear you. I crave sweets so much, I am like a kid when it comes to sweets. I am on a diet now and slowing taken myself off them. I do not want to become a diabetic , most family members are diabetic. My A1C was 5.9 and cholesterol was a little high recently. I am a little plump. Always been 120 lbs. most of my life, now struggling with weight gain since menopause. Finding eating fresh fruits and occasional sweet dessert that I like most is helpful. I do not feel that great after consuming them, though. I felt the difference with increase in energy since I started the diet 6 days ago. Stress will suppress your appetite sometimes. I do the opposite, and eat all the wrong foods when I am stressed. I just love comfort foods. I have been walking and notice an increase in my energy, was so tired and did not feel healthy. Hope your appetite will come back and you will start feeling better.

Speaking of food, I don't seem to have much of an appetite. I make sure my husband has three squares a day but nothing appeals....UNLESS there is sweetness involved. I know that it is probably stress related. I do have oatmeal or cheerios and a banana for breakfast every day. I think about protein shakes but I don't get around to actually opening the can.

Hamburger cooked up with lots of assorted vegges - zucchini, tomato, chayote, bell peppers, seasoned with taco mix and - tada - roasted slices of eggplant drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with garlic, salt, and pepper. I think it is my favourite to date. Very tasty!!!!

Grilled chicken and potatoes salad and grilled tomatoes.


Gershun,

I have had enough hangovers for you and about 4 or 5 other people. Now, all I ever drink is 1 glass of wine with dinner every now & then...drank like a fish in my 20's. Thank God those days are gone!!

Night Owl! I was too, and always wish I could vacuum, do laundry at the midnight hour. But it disturbs the other residents, and maybe the neighbors too.

Me too, if that, Gershun, Alcohol just doesn't do it for me, I enjoy a glass of some thing appropriate once in a while. I had a bottle of Bristol Cream that lasted 10 years. I take a sip, put the glass down and then forget I have it. I prefer my calories in other forms.

Re dieting, I have lost a few pounds. I have to eat low carb normally or I gain weight. Of course, I splurge sometimes (chocolate cheesecake anyone???). Depriving myself doesn't work.

I decided to eat more vegetables during the lock down and found roasted veggies are my faves. Meals, other than breakfast that work best for me are meat/fish/poultry and low carb veggies. I love a salad too but have to include protein of some kind. As we get older we need more protein, not less.

Now with all this talk of food, I am getting hungry!!!

I don't think I've ever been hung over to be honest. I think I've only gotten drunk maybe three or four times in my life. Never had a hangover that I know about. I've heard about them though. Doesn't sound fun.

I used to always make myself toast when I got home from a night of imbibing. :)

Gershun,, I always wanted tomato soup made with a can of milk when I was hung over! Good old Campbells in the can!

I always remember my older sister coming home drunk and cause I was a night owl I would still be up. We would make a pot of Kraft Dinner and eat it at 1:30am. LOL It was a regular thing we did.

KD in Canada:
Kraft Dinner - Notice that the product in Canada is actually called Kraft Dinner or KD for short and that is indicated on the packaging. That is because most Canadians can recognize a picture of macaroni with the trademark neon orange colouring without being told that it is macaroni and cheese.

I did very good up to now. I went out for seafood, had a delicious haddock toasted sandwich with red potato salad, slice of lemon meringue pie. I hope to do better tomorrow. It was yummy, though.
