So so grateful that Dh and I are in a place financially where we can food shop and buy what we want, whether it's organic or not, on sale or not. We don't spend wastefully, but we don't have to scrimp anymore. Aaaaaah, that feels so good!! A far cry from our days of $100/mo for food!!

Every weekend I chop tons of veggies in the food processor to eat for lunch all week. I made too much and had to dump some of it last night, but forgot to take the trash out before we went out. It was too late to take the trash out when we got home (I have to drive it to the dumpster in my development), so the bag stayed in the kitchen. Can't put it on the patio because of animals. Woke up this morning to the smell of rotting veggies permeating the entire apartment :/

This 'food addiction' thing is new. Which makes me wonder whether it's ALL food or just crappy processed food that people get addicted to. Maybe switching to a healthy non-processed diet can help. Would you keep stuffing yourself with carrots? Or only cheetos?

I love my mom but she is a liar. We went to her diabetes class, I am allowed to attend as a support person. She tells the educator that she eats salads and healthy foods like fish and hardly anything with carbs. Just yesterday she ate a half pizza. Not to mention two ice cream bars and then some candy at night. Mom I love you but I am tired of watching you kill yourself and be in denial...

I was so broke I stole food from the grocery store while at the self serving checkout its so easy. next day my fridge and washing machine burnt out , that my dear is karma

I was taller & overweight all throughout my childhood. I never ate junk food. Parents would allow only one glass of soda on Sunday with our family meal. The rest of the time it was milk or water. Juice was for lunch only. All homemade meals with few starches. I'm the only kid I know who ate her peas, beans & other greens including kale/spinach in soups. I was 17 before I tried McDonalds. I walked to school (long walk!), had Phys.Ed. every other day, twice daily recess and rode bikes. Yet I was fat. I also have PCOS & hit puberty at 9yrs old. Sometimes it isn't anyone's "fault". Good grief!

SIL is no longer speaking to me. She was arguing that it was her choice to feed her newborn formula. I replied "yes it is also your choice to feed her hot dogs, chips, pop and other junk when she starts eating solids. My choice is to not feed my baby some crap made but the same food company that makes chocolate bars." DH said I should have kept my mouth shut but I am so tired of this "I have the choice of what to do with my kid." Yeah you can choose but your choice may be harming your child.

If you insist on feeding your dog dog food...may I suggest...adding ricotta or cottage cheese, and tomato juice to it. Your dog will LOVE it, and it's insanely healthy for them. They will also thrive on the occasional scrambled egg(s). You're eating a steak? Can you give him the fat? Why not? You're making some sandwich steaks, there's some stringy bits? Feed it to him-raw. Why not? You'll only toss it, and he will LOVE IT.

Its food, what is there to get excited about. I get that it can taste good, but its just food.
