    "You can LOVE somebody but not neccesarily LIKE them".

    A lesson that I learned only recently and can apply to your parents and children as well.

    Very true, I loved my mother, she gave me birth but I DEFINITELY did not like her as a person

    JoJo, i have breakfast, trying to have plenty of protein and as little sugar or carbs as I can. I’m eating about 35% protein, 30% carbs and 35% fat, so I plan the rest of my day’s eating keeping those numbers and my calorie limit in mind. I try to keep my total carbs under 100g, and my protein at 75g or above. My total sugars are below 35. I eat more veggies, grains and seafoods, keep away from fruit juices in preference to whole fruits, and I avoid potatoes (except sweet potatoes) and white rice and pasta. That doesn’t mean I don’t have them, but I keep portions smaller. I eat lots of fish and shellfish and of course chicken and turkey, although I prefer dark meat because it’s moister and has more flavor. Then I adjust at each mean if I vary from what I planned.
    I drink decaf coffee, tea and what my family called “water juice”. It’s that fruit flavored water that sells in about 1liter bottles at mostgrocery stores for about 80¢ to $1. Each chain seems to have their own brand. I actually gag on plain water unless it’s cold. I use flavoring drops and that helps. I use artificial sweeteners, but can’t stand the taste of stevia.
    Everyone’s plan is their own, but I hope telling you about mine helps. I had weight loss surgery in January, but my dietician has me on regular food at 100% now.

    Sharon: I am looking at my pie chart for the day & currently have 40% protein, 24% carbs & 36% fat. I always hope to have equal thirds by the end of the day, but it doesn’t always happen. DH is on a Gluten Free diet. I still eat bread containing gluten but we have gluten free breads for him. I like his gluten free buns better than anything else for a hamburger but make my sandwiches from regular sourdough bread. We have learned to be flexible and to support one another’s food needs. :star:

    (((Janetr))) Continued prayers for your granddaughter & her young man. :heart:

    Yvonne-Tx -Thankyou that’s what I needed to know. Think I’ll dig further into meal prep cause with High blood pressure to calories restrictions definitely can do more with this method. I’ll tell my cousins we are looking into options as a team.Lol but we’re all on different diets.Meal Prep I’m able to make 100cal- 500cal meals grab the amount I want when still hungry.
