Update Season VI - "A New Day Dawning"

Also, how does one have a 10 course meal?

I will not watch what I eat on my birthday, though, because it is wrong to diet on your birthday, unless you have a medical condition that requires you to do it.

You do know that you are supposed to celebrate birthdays once a year, not once a week, don't you?

[Joe Biden 2020]

Also, how does one have a 10 course meal?

10 was probably an exaggeration, but a 5-7 course meal is very common.  Generally, the meat is the first course, corn, mashed potatoes, green beans, baked beans, dinner rolls, salad.

Plus dessert which when we're not having company is usually banana pudding or coconut cream cake or strawberry shortcake.  When we do have company, it's normally at least peach pie and pumpkin pie as the choices.  My mother is diabetic, so she only has a small bowl of pudding or some sugar free cookies for dessert.

My grandmother used to fix a German Chocolate Cake, but since I can't have chocolate due to it giving me migraine headaches, she stopped.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Oh, normally I consider courses as appetizers, soup, salad, amuse, entree, dessert, etc.. Not each side item. But I get it.

Normally, I am fine with splurging on your birthday, but you splurge nearly every day, and you're fast approaching a medical condition, so you may have to diet on your birthday!

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

Why don't you follow her example?

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

You should try my usual desert, which also happens to be a traditional desert: a piece of fresh fruit.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Maybe try having meals without dessert? Typically I never eat dessert except on rare occasions or holidays/birthdays. Sugar is what gets you. Your family already has diabetes in it, so you should be more afraid than you seem to be.

We only have dessert when we're at Grandma's.  On our own, we have a one course meal with maybe a slice of bread and no dessert.  When we go out to eat, we will have a dessert once in a blue moon.

Without company, we're only at Grandma's maybe a couple times a month for dinner.

Then what's packing on the weight? I guess the general country cooking in general. Good stuff, but man, unless you're active, which you aren't, it packs on the pounds.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I only gain weight when there's company in town.  Most of the time I hold pretty steady.  What prevents the weight from coming off is when we're on our own, we are more tempted to get fast food.  They just opened a new McDonald's just 2 1/2 miles from us which is right across the street from Braum's, another burger place, Sonic, and Little Caesar's.  There is a Mazzio's just 5 1/2 miles away in McLoud.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Yeah but usually that weight must stay on considering you weigh 269. Or you just have company in town all the time. I eat a lot too when there is a special occasion, so I get it, but I tend to not keep it on when it's over. Hell, last weekend I celebrated my own birthday, a friends birthday and a family friend, so I ate constantly, lobster, lima beans, salads, chinese, cake, but I cut back after that!

You should just eat what your mother eats.

Before they came, I was starting to drift down closer to 260.  I think I bottomed out at 263-264 before they came.  I was losing a little bit because I was drinking 5 glasses of water a day, cutting back on what I ate, and walking just a bit.

How tall is Bushie?

5'8'', if memphis's memory is correct. Yikes.

Over the 98th percentile. He'd also have to lose 40 pounds to even get to the 95th percentile. Wow.

You do realize that drinking water does not cause you to lose weight? Rather, it only keeps you from consuming more calories than you already are through eating.

Yeah, drinking water doesn't help you lose weight. It does keep your system clean, flush out some of the excess sodium, which no doubt you have, and is better for you than drinking regular sodas, but it only helps you in that way. Simply sitting around and drinking water all day while eating the same things will do nothing for you.

In any event, you will have to make the conscious decision to really limit your sugar intake before anything will happen, and that means not drinking any regular cokes or eating pie during the day. I am not going to be a stickler like Inks - you can drink diet soda all you want, or crystal light mixes for tea, lemonade, etc, because I know drinking water all day all the time can be boring. And since you don't drink booze, those are some alternatives. All of calorie free.

[Sbane]

The point of drinking a lot of water (beyond keeping your organs such as your kidney well perfused) is that you can eat less and still feel full. If you just eat the same amount and drink more water, it's not going to do anything for you.

Torie is probably going to die after Bushie at this rate.

The rich have more to live for, certainly.  There doesn't seem to be much point for the poor to go on any further.

I've reconsidered not weighing myself until the company leaves.

More procrastination and excuses.

Not this one.  If you'll read the entire post and the post from last night that relates, I said I was not going to as of last night, but i've reconsidered that idea.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I tell you what. The weather must be changing as my arthritis is screaming at me...

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Jeff, stop eating like a pig, go out and walk, and then come home and put in more job applications... get your life in order.
