I know why women gain weight as they get older. In your younger years, you only have yourself to feed. Add a spouse and/or a child (i.e. another mouth to feed) and all you ever think about is food! What am I feeding them for breakfast? What are we having for dinner? What do I have to make for dinner tomorrow night, or do I need to go to the store? It never ends. And thinking about food makes you hungry!
On a related note, oatmeal doesn't taste so good when you're eating it with onion-scented hands. But oh, that pot roast is gonna be good!
Well from experience I know what you say is true...it is a never ending saga of what to fix, cook, etc...but women also gain weight because food is solace for them...how many times have you drowned your stress, anger, sorrow etc in peanut butter and ice cream!!
ReplyDeleteAhhh...for me it's a decadent coffee creamer. And the answer is just about every night! But you know, I feel a lot less guilty spending $2 on that when I want to be good to myself than I would spending, say, $50 on a pair of shoes, even though the shoes would be a better investment because we need them, they last a lot longer and they don't tell on your waistline!
