Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for April 07, 2023

I can relate.

I’ve been told it’s not good to be hungry. Not a problem for me.

The latter was too common on cruises. People wondered how they gained seven pounds in seven days. Me, I lost weight from not overeating but getting much more exercise. The stairs alone toned my legs quickly.

Good Friday everyone. Just for You, Jesus died. And for the gluttons.

My trouble with the All you can eat restaurants is I tried.

I’ve found that if I do not eat in accordance with the clock and eat in accordance with my body, I do better.

In other words, if I do not eat until I am hungry and if I stop eating when I stop feeling hungry, I maintain a healthy weight. Also, it takes about 20 minutes for the body to realize that it isn’t hungry anymore, so eat slowly. Yes, this is difficult when your daily schedule is superimposed on your body’s schedule.

Food tastes a lot better when you actually are hungry.

I am fortunate. I do not have a medical condition like hypoglycemia that might make this practice dangerous.

Eating became a habit rather than a necessity. The clock says it’s lunchtime, so eat. I also contend that we are Pavolvian in our eating habits: we get hungry at mealtime whether we are actually hungry or not. Skip the meal and you won’t get hungry until the next meal time. I do NOT recommend this as an ongoing practice.

So next time you reach for that doughnut, ask yourself, “Am I really hungry?” Then make the decision, “What the heck, I’ll indulge myself THIS time.”

I too can relate. What was the old Alka-Seltzer ad? “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing…”

I pretty much have diet under control. Until we order pizza!

I will this instead of that. First.

I’ll rade you. Mine is: ‘I should eat’ and ‘I forgot to eat’

Very true, Aunty!

I don’t over indulge food, now beer is another think.

just exchange “drink” and “drunk” for “eat” and “eaten” and you’ve got my life in a nutshell…
