Feeders

Just curious how many of you have a feeder in your life. You know, one of those people who always tells you to eat more and brings you junk? Who struggles with this at holidays?


I was planning Thanksgiving dinner with my mom over the weekend. I told her I had bought some premaid pies to save her the trouble but she plans on making more pies, as well as a homemade carrot cake and a persimmon pudding. Then she asked if that would be enough. I'm like for 5 people?! Yes! More than enough.


I have 2 Thanksgivings, already went to one. Then I have my birthday. Not only will I have junk at home but junk at work. Then I have 2 company Christmas parties to go to, then family Christmas stuff, then new year's eve. Gonna be a lot of feeders and temptations.


I have a game plan tho. Just really gonna watch my portions and try to keep my protein high. No second helpings, very little bread, lots of veggies. Only a few bites of starches or dessert. And keep exercising!

Ghost, your mother is definitely taking it over the top. A full pie, or cake, or pudding for each guest is a bit much, plus the pies you already have. I usually just follow my stomach as opposed to eat because it's the time for a meal. The way it works is that if I have a really large lunch, I will likely only have a snack at dinner; if going out for dinner, I will reverse that. Left to myself, I am more a grazer. You have a good plan to deal with all the feasts coming. Hugs.

I bought a pumpkin creme pie and a turtle pie. I think I'm just leaving them in freezer. She is making pumpkin pie, maybe squash also which seems redundant to me. Her carrot cake is not good anymore. It's too rough textured, usually burnt, too much nuts. I bought frosting so that should be good at least. I told her in a nice way she should use a sifter and make sure the texture is finer.

YES! But I live alone so I can usually control it but Thanksgiving is a different story and I had to shrink my stomach beforehand and learn to say no, I am stuffed like this turkey...haha

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
