abbadabba's Journal, 18 May 18

When I was growing up, having a treat was really a treat. We did not have dessert every night; we mostly only had dessert on Sunday night, and that was basically in lieu of supper. We had fancy breakfast Sunday morning (eggs AND coffee cake! maybe hot chocolate) then Sunday dinner right after church around 3 pm, and then around 7 we would have dessert. Our favorite was strawberry shortcake. Mom started out making the sweet biscuits from scratch but later on we got the special treat of store-bought individual sponge shells. We didn't know that it was because Mom had no time to bake! Anyway, it surprised me later on in life when I found out that some people actually had cake or cookies or other desserts EVERY NIGHT! All they had to do was eat their entire dinner first. I guess what I am saying is: My mom kept me thin. We ate healthy food, high protein - low carb, and plenty of fat. I walked to school, played sports, went to dance lessons, did yard work seems like every day of my life! We ate well and were active.
The lowfat high volume diet is tricky but I am trying to stick with whole foods. I think it is going to be good - I like to eat and would rather graze all day than force myself to not eat. We'll see how it goes. Probably holding steady but I have switched weigh-in to Wednesday instead of Saturday for no good reason.
Happy Friday!

My childhood was similar and I stayed slim until I was about 12 years old - I think treats in the shops became cheaper and more available then or maybe I just became greedy 😄
