And food takes effort.<br /><br />I never end up starving myself to the point where I lose weight, but I often starve my brain to the point where I get faintly dizzy, and highly belligerent...and now sometimes I do that to my kids, and that's really scary.Lonesparkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16278753827545905559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-39264114874711231432012-08-01T09:14:19.093-04:002012-08-01T09:14:19.093-04:00I can very easily simply not bother to eat.

I miss loads of breakfasts and the occasional evening meal.<br /><br />But I'm beginning to think this is not good for me. I probably should be taking better care of myself.<br /><br />TRiG.TRiGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12252536592916793907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-73814968349789279522012-07-31T07:15:29.777-04:002012-07-31T07:15:29.777-04:00Something that may not be relevant to you: my best...Something that may not be relevant to you: my best experience with losing weight and feeling generally more healthy has relied on two things:<br /><br />(a) eating when I want to;<br />(b) stopping eating when I don't want to.<br /><br />These seem really obvious, but the second one in particular is very hard if one's in the habit of finishing what's on one's plate. Stopping the moment one no longer wants the food seems to me well worth while even if it means lots of leftovers (which one can, after all, eat later).<br /><br />The reason I mention it, though, is the first one: few and frequent meals let me keep my blood sugar, and general temperament, much more constant.Firedrakenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-36534860961926567332012-07-30T20:14:18.338-04:002012-07-30T20:14:18.338-04:00I actually just had pasta last night too! It'...I actually just had pasta last night too! It's a really convenient dish, and can go well with any number of things (chicken, beef, green beans, corn, mushrooms... I've made it with all those and more.)<br /><br />Yes, food does help. Sleep does too - I hope you get more of that. And if you do want to lose weight, I hope that happens too without your losing energy.<br /><br />Best wishes.Evannoreply@blogger.com
