Proud of your weight loss! Know you must feel so much better

It’s cool to be able to get into pants that previously were inches away from closing

When we get older our circumstances change . Due to aches and pains we’re less active, sit more. Food and beverage become our comforts

You have a hubby who likes to cook so great food is there for you.

When I stayed with my friend Jim recently in Ohio for a few weeks I had to chuckle when I opened his upright freezer in his utility room off the kitchen. His above frig was full of icecream and snack foods.

I needed to put in the food I just brought.. he was just out of hospital (COPD)n I told him I’d take care of meals.

3/4 was full of high end frozen meals. By high end I mean like Stouffer’s, Pepperidge farm, Marie’s - not the more reasonable ones you see in frozen food. He had a great variety and ate well. He also had frozen many meals from a farmers market . He’d go and pick out meat, pot, veggie from deli selection and freeze . He’d get maybe 10-15 at a time.

For someone who doesn’t like to cook this is great. He is now cooking some. At my suggestion he got and uses a crock pot. He can make up chicken, pork, beef with potatoes and carrots with great variet seasonings and prep and have a great meal with several days leftovers. I’d sent him recipes that he uses.

He took after his mom -who lived with him- for over a decade. Most all meals were this or takeout 3-4 times a week. Most of us couldn’t afford to do this.
