I’ve always had a problem with weight.I’m active, eat healthy foods from the garden,but I’m still plump.
I think it’s my eating habits.I hate breakfast,don’t get hungry till late in the day.I think this pattern is from childhood.The usual breakfast foods tasted bad, too greasy,too salty,weird texture ,and I didn’t like milk.I sometimes would eat oatmeal,grits or cream of wheat,but it was easier to just not eat.I didn’t like the school food,so usually didn’t eat most of it.Later when you didn’t have to go to the cafeteria,I’d just go directly to the playground.The noise in the cafeteria bothered me so much.I hate the murmur of mass voices and the clink of silverware.
So I never ate till I got home from school.Rarely did I eat fast food,we might go to a nice restaurant for Sunday dinner or an occasional bucket of KFC as a treat.I liked vegetables,and we always had fresh fruit.But mostly it was Southern comfort food like chicken and dumplings,meatloaf, always lots of greens on the side.Cooked with pork of course and seasoned with pepper sauce,hot cornbread with butter,and mashed potatoes and gravy, pinto beans or butter beans with ham hock.Heavy on carbs and fat.So I’d eat too much late in the day.I still do.
And I love homemade bread,corn bread, buttermilk biscuits,light bread,yummy.I love to bake, so tend to overindulgence when I do.
I get a yearly physical, all good except for slightly high triglycerides.So I’ve given up most meats instead of taking medication.It is already lower than last years.
So my thought are that bad eating habits and medication would be the main reason why some,not all,struggle with weight issues.
