[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 45912, member: 2211"] My mother is huge. She's always so baffled as to why she's so huge...she describes her daily diet as a couple of peices of toast with her morning coffee, maybe a little jam. Then she might have a small grilled cheese sandwich or a ham sandwich for lunch with more tea. Then mid afternoon, when she gets hungry again, she will 'only have' a little slice of toast with some more tea. And often she doesn't feel like cooking so she'll just have some more toast and tea. Well, duh, mom, can all that white toast and tea be a problem?? She does not eat much but what she does eat is unhealthy. She's currently seeing a nutritionist to help her get her diabetes under control and she called me the other day and was so annoyed that the dietician told her she must eat 5 times a day and gave her a list of foods that were okay. Unfortunately, some of the foods on that list are my mother's favorite foods, like toast, so that's all she's eating!! The list also contained fresh fruits, salads and lean proteins - does mother eat that stuff? No, because she actually has to prepare it and she can't be bothered. Short of either myself or one of my siblings making her every meal, she will continue to eat unhealthily. I don't want to end up like that. She's so unhappy and gets in her own way all the time. But at 84, it will be difficult for her to change her habits. I am determined to stick with my diet and H will simply accept that if he wants to have a healthier wife, he will have to eat what I make and not eat out so much. easy child is coming home from college this weekend and since she is enrolled in a baking and pastry arts degree program, she will be bringing home all sorts of goodies!! Yikes! [/QUOTE]
