That is just TOO MUCH food to live properly. |

How terribly sad.... Yes it is when you think about it. I could not *imagine* allowing myself to give someone that much food if I knew it was making them bigger and bigger and literally killing them slowly. My oldest son, who has recently gotten into cooking, has tried to be an enabler of sorts when he decides he wants to cook dinner (about twice a week now). A couple times he has said to me that i don't *need* to eat low carb and I told him..'Oh but I do so if you are going to make dinner for me be sure it is lowcarb.' The other night I had an argument with him about not putting salt in *my* food through the cooking of it or otherwise. He tried to tell me that salt would not cause me to have water retention but after pulling up a couple webpages on the net (our computer is next to the kitchen) he did not put salt anywhere near my food.....and my dinner *was* lowcarb. He made steak and asparagus roll-ups. :-) I *won't* allow him to enable me (just as I won't enable myself) and it will pay off in the end someday so he will not do it to someone else he cares for. |

Good for you for standing up to him and wanting to eat better!

It was either stand up to him or not eat the food he cooked if it was not low carb or salted and he hates it when I don't eat the dinners he takes great care to prepare. He even got ****ed at me another time when he made me an LC dinner but I had fallen asleep before it was cooked and by the time I came downstairs to eat it it was cold and in the fridge. That made him upset but I told him it was just as good nuked. Strangely it still ****es him off. He wants to be a chef. Do they have strange temperments? LOL |

Some interesting tidbits: Carol Yager who is said to have weighed 1600
lbs, had a BOYFRIEND. ``Her teenage daughter, a boyfriend, and a group of volunteers helped take care of her.'' When I read that I just envisioned a planet w/ many moons orbiting around her. She needs psych attention as do her servants. How sad. ~Kat "Rice Krispies. East meets west" Cosmo Kramer |

How sad. ~Kat I think the saddest case is that of #4 Michael Edelman who starved to death weighing about 600 pounds. Just goes to show that someone does have to eat no matter how fat they are. He seriously needed a lot of psychiatric help and he evidently didn't get enough or it wasn't in time. Tonia |
