I KNOW THAT I EAT TOO MUCH. There, that’s my confession for today. I overdo it during meals, then I snack, nibble, nosh between meals like it’s some kind of oral gratification fanaticism. “Never eat more than you can lift,” Miss Piggy once proclaimed, and she had a point, I can tell you. Put a package of cookies in front of me and my lack of control would probably be sufficient to start a small engine. Pretzels, cheese puffs, peanut butter cups, I can dominate them like an all-star linebacker. Yet, I’m technically not “fat.” My classification is “overweight,” and I seem to be holding my own. Probably a majority of the population is overweight, I tell myself as I reach for another handful of trail mix. At least I produce a pleasant fragrance in the house when I nuke a bag of microwave popcorn. All this, of course, affects the number of times during the day when I am heading for the bathroom to empty. My sole bit of self-control arrives between 5 PM and 6 PM, when I stop eating for the day, but I’m still generally up twice a night to go. Falling back to sleep after a middle of the night bathroom trip is an ability that one achieves over time. I’ve laid awake longer after waking from a weird dream. It was probably a dream about eating butterscotch bars.
😆 🤣 Thanks for the great read....now what to have for breakfast......
Happy Sunday

Your post hit home today, Henry. It was only a short while ago that I wrote of “my failure to thrive” about not being able to regain some weight. Well, that was short-lived! Lately, I have noticed all those Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Dark Chocolate Caramel Sea Salt clusters, and of course Captain Morgan and Diet Coke have resulted in some additional body poundage - the good news here though is - my earrings still fit!

New ostomate, we’ve all gone through feeling low and depressed over your ostomy.
This is a pretty open group. Right now, in summer, it’s a low response time—lots of family things going on. If you need something, call out. Someone dealing with your situation will post something sooner or later.
It’s just that time of year.
Take care, and good luck.
