    @MadisonMolly2017, Yes these were my problems exactly.

    1) They are really busy going to school/building a career/raising children/sad for empty nest/caregiving infirm parents/getting divorced/experiencing loss or financial hardship...and food becomes a self-care.
    2) They think they have to starve.
    3) Many REALLY don’t want to count calories.
    4) American culture of fried foods, salty foods, cheese on everything, humongous portions, not to mention sweet drinks is ever present & tastes delicious to many.

    Fried and salty foods actually get me sick now when I over indulge in them especially before bed, :)

    @jenn990205, Oh well, hopefully there will be another opportunity for a relaxing evening. Going to retrieve your son was more important. My husband and I have been in similar situations with our sons many tiimes. Glad to know he was and is safe.

    Sorry if this is duplicated, I can’t find it.

    @tiabirdie56 Sadly I can spend too much time at the sewing machine PHYSICALLY but never enough MENTALLY. Rods in my back, arthritis in probably everywhere, but as I’ve often said, it’s better than the option of being in a wheelchair. I need to set a timer so I stop and move around otherwise I would sew for hours on end.

    @MollyMadison2017 Next time, I would not hesitate to say, “You don’t need to bring anything but if you feel you must, please don’t bring sweets. Perhaps a meat and cheese tray or fruit or veggie tray. I’ve worked hard to get where I am and prefer to not have the temptation.” I have not hesitated to tell people what I’m doing eating wise and when I go through the line at our potlucks the servers are great at pointing out the carb loaded foods and know I bring only LCHF/keto dishes. Amazing that I seldom have leftovers to bring home!

    @taxgirl1 Are you lactose intolerant? Our daughter went through a battery of tests at 15-16 because she would vomit or have diarrhea at every meal. It turned out a simple breath test showed high output of hydrogen, I believe. The doctor had an “aha moment” and said she was lactose intolerant. That was over 30 years ago before all of the dairy milk alternatives and at the time she was consuming almost a gallon of milk a day by herself!

    @quiltingjaine I'm guessing I am lactose intolerant. I will talk to the nutritionist tomorrow and figure out a plan to confirm.

    @deepwoodslady Here is the link to the filling I made. I didn’t use their crust because I don’t care for coconut flour. I made an almond flour crust instead.

    @MadisonMolly2017 @tiabirdie56 and @GrandmaJackie All I can say is “been there, done that” and then all of the pieces went together and the light bulb went on! Life gets hard and we cope as best we can. I wish the light bulb had gone on 30 or 40 years ago but it didn’t so it is what it is. I’m so grateful for this group and each of the participants. My advice to all of the younger ones - learn from others mistakes.
