    We watched Woodstock last weekend and both of us commented about the same thing. I only saw a few people in the thronging masses that would be considered overweight. This was my generation. I honestly don't remember anyone in my high school being overweight.

    I work at a community college now. I'd say about one student in three is overweight. Many are obese. Sad how things have changed...

    For years now I've worked out at a gym that is in a nice hotel. Many hotel guests use the pool there. I see lots of overweight kids. It's sad.

    Making me feel bad... I ate lunch at an Indian buffet today. But I only went through the line once. And it was lunch, so dinner will be a lite meal. But now I need a nap.

    I checked my kitchen. Our fridge is tiny, and so are our plates( and we are both pretty skinny)! In fact the plates we got are square, with big flat lips on them, so the middle food portion, is about four inches!
    Mostly eat out of bowls, salad size. If you know me from posts, you know I use to have a eating disorder, so I dont have to diet but I do have some good habits for food.Also I am allergic to mostly everything, so theres no binge foods, like oreos or cereal or bread( I make my own from quinoa).
    BUT, if you like to snack or want to learn some good food habits, here is mine.
    I eat about five meals a day. Three of those meals are made of fresh fruit, and veggies raw, sometimes with a couple tablespoons of dip - mustard, balsamic and herbs. I eat green apples all day, as snacks And celery, lots of that.
    Its also good, before dinner to have a big green salad, or some nibble veggies with dip, or some soup( I like split pea that I make myself, its very filling).
    Then have a BIG bowl of steamed veggies. Im a vegetarian, so that's my main meal then I have baked potatoes or something like casserole.

    Smiling cat, you can eat ALL you want of veggies( but make some nice lo cal salad dressing or you'll get really bored quick) and then have dinner, and be full and eat less. I have to eat all this raw stuff anyhow, because of allergies and let me tell you, your really full!!
    Im all for eating lots!
