Do you live to eat or eat to live?

Wow. Never heard of food issue problems before. My day is complete....I have learned something new. Good luck on your recovery.

Thank you so much for your response. It has literally made my day....I have learned something very useful. I never knew food issues existed....Of course, I have been out of mainstream USA since 1957 and was never up on such things. It really is "food" for thought. It's great that you have been able to overcome the trauma and get yourself straightened out. God bless you and others like you for that. Keep up the good work. PS: I had intented to select your comment as the best response but unfortunately I goofed and the wrong number came up. Please forgive me.....You get a plus for this one too.

Ladysun, thanks for sharing. I wish you luck with your new eating habits.

Good joke gifana and thanks for sharing it with us. As for getting the evening meal on time, maybe it happens and maybe not. LOL Actually we all cook here, so it could be anyone of us who prepares the evening meal. Mostly my husband and I though because we like spoiling our son as much as we can, since is he home here so seldom of recent years. :)

Was browsing thru and found I didn't respond to this one. At least you and hubby like to cook....which is something I detest. I am such a perfectionist that if it isn't done according to the recipe I run amuck. Forgot to ask if your son is married or like me....loves to be footloose and fancy free. Just curious.

oysters and rattlesnake are "interesting". hehehehehe Sounds like you got things under control....as long as you give hubby his dinner on time. Reminds me of a joke. Newlyweds on first day hubby goes back to work. At breakfast she asks "what do you want for breakfast?" "You know what it want." So up to the bedroom they go...... As he's going out the door she asks, "what do you want for lunch, honey?" He said, "you know what I want, honey". So when he comes home they go to the bedroom and "have lunch". As hes going out the door she asks, "what do you want for supper, honey?" He answers, "you know what I want, honey." When he arrives for supper he finds his wife sliding down the bannister. After reaching the bottom she runs upstairs and slides again. She does this a couple more times and when she gets to the bottom he grabs her and ask, "Honey, what are you doing?" Warming up supper, honey......

Thanks for the response. Like the message under my toilet seat says......We aim to please.....you aim too please. Have a nice day!

Looks like I'm gonna close up shop today (10-12-06 4am) with a laff......what a wonderful say to go.

You're not alone, chubby! And you made me laugh

I know what you mean. I have moments that I live to eat when it is something that I haven't had for a long time.....like live Maine lobsters. If I had 'em right now I could eat at least a half dozen and ask for more. But thank goodness something like that only happens few and far between meals. Thanks for dropping by.

As long as you can keep a good balance, you'll probably live to be a ripe old age. It's when one eats just for the sake of eating that gives us the most problems. Thanks for dropping by.

I'm a little confused. I don't see anything different between the two thoughts. Living to eat means that you eat most of the time because you enjoy it and whether you need to or not. Eating to live means that you have no reason to to eat when it is not necessary. Or something like that. Thanks for dropping by.

You can rest assured that you are not alone. There are a lot of people who said they eat to live. As I have said it's not a bad thing as long as you eat those foods that are not injurious to your health. Thanks for dropping by.

That doesn't tell me much. I might have expanded on the subject just a little more. This way you don't get a rating + or -. However, thanking you for your response.

Hi again. I find that when people who love to eat pay more attention to what they eat rather than eating the same thing day after day. So I guese that would be that you do both too. Appreciate the input. tnx

Living to eat is not really a bad thing. For example you can live to eat raw oysters because you, like me, love them so much. The thing is not to over indulge. Thanks for your response.

Little confusing....was the policy change to "live to eat" or the other way around. Thanks for dropping by.

Okay. but do you enjoy trying new dishes or are you content to eat the same thing day after day? Thank you for response.

I have a sneaking suspicious that most people who love to eat think so much about it that they get hungry very easily. If one is occupied enough sometimes we forget about things that are normal habits.

Me too. I get my energy from eating lots of apples. Thanks for dropping by.

That's sensible especially if you have a wide variety of cuisine. Appreciate your response.

Okay....but do tend to eat the same kinds of food but do you like to try new things? Appreciate your response.

Okay. But are you careful with what you eat? Tnx for dropping by.

They say that to eat properly you should eat small portions 5 times a day. That would be difficult for me because I am rarely hungry... I would have to put the alarm on my cell phone to remind me it's time to eat. Appreciate your input. tnx

Good thinking. Also gives you a reason for working. Thanks for dropping by.
