Marie Osmond claimed she put on so much weight while caring for her dying mother due to having to eat mostly fast food. I can see how this could happen if you're constantly just wanting to run out and grab something quick.........quick means fast food.........and fast food means excessive calories. My friend Lora just did a post in her blog, http://www.loradtasteofsuccess.blogspot.com, about making your own fast food at home.
I wasn't able to be w/ my mom 24/7 as Marie Osmond was so I didn't fall into the fast food trap. I, however, just haven't felt like eating period. I eat b/c I have to, but there's not much pleasure in it. And since there's no pleasure in it, I have to force myself even to cook. I still marvel at all the meals my mother cooked; three meals a day for over six decades. Dad used to always go home for dinner even when he was working. Neighbors could always set their clocks by Dad's prompt arrival at noon each workday. W/ Mom's cooking, who could blame him! Mom had this amazing ability to open the refrigerator door, pick up all the leftovers from the previous meals, and turn them into something new. (As an aside here: I originally typed the present tense verb, "has this amazing ability." I guess I've used that expression a lot in the past, and this is the first time I've used it lately). I just don't have her knack and love for meal planning and preparation.
I'd be content to live on peanut toast for breakfast, peanut butter sandwich for lunch, and peanut butter and crackers for dinner. But if I did that I'd probably need NutriSystem myself.
