Food and Excess

Coogybear

I know Christmas is a time for indulgence, but when do things tip into excess?

My son has had a problem with moderating food intake from day one, but Christmas is always such a difficult time.

I got up this morning to find half the turkey leftovers and trimming missing. Today he's on his third bowl of bread and soup.

Whilst homemade turkey soup is a healthly option and I'm glad my culinary efforts are appreciated, I remain worried about the quantity he consumes.

Does anyone else experience such difficulties?

Coogy.

  • Another thought has occured to me.

    I used to drink diet soft drinks, when I was overweight. I stopped because they make me hungry. It is something to do with the effect they have on blood sugar levels. I now drink mainly water and fruit tisanes (teas). It is hard to find soft drinks without artificial sweetners and fruit juices are high in sugar. Neither of these is helpful in weight control.
