Is there a way to find a particular post to add a comment a day or so later? I can't find a SEARCH button for people.
My post is really directed to Knuckles and Phil.
I live in a family situation with teenage grandchildren. We eat our meals together as a family. Breakfast and dinner we come together, talk about our days accomplishments, failures, and sometimes dreams. This social interaction is a way of teaching youngsters the art of conversation, social graces, and team building as we all help to prepare these meals. Sharing becomes a big part of our lifes b/c everyone likes different foods and the short order cook doesn't always take orders.

For someone living alone, controlling every movement within a sphere of safety, may be the way to go. Eating or not eating might work well for some people. Losing weight might be the only factor for some of us. Surviving might be another.

There are so many factors that come into play in our daily lives. Living in war torn countries, living in poverty ravished 3rd world areas all play a part in our decision making. Living in a stressful society with too many choices can also be overwhelming.

You alluded to the fact that you did not have medical insurance and therefore had to figure things out for yourself. I'm curious if it is your contention that we now all give up our medical insurance and stop going to doctors because you have successfully lost weight and reduced your blood pressure, A1c, cholesterol, etc? If we had all listened to the scandal sheets in the supermarkets, we knew we should lose weight and move more long before we became morbidly obese.

Your weight loss journey is an amazing story. Revel in it.

Sarah, I think the one thing I will always miss about my parents, and our family, was sitting down to have dinner every night, right at 6:00. My dad was an authoritarian about eating at 6, and most other things too. Now my wife is the boss, and it is what rubs me the wrong way, the most. Her mother was the boss in her family too. It is a great family thing to sit down and eat with the family. Your post brought some nostalgia to me. Tthanks!

Found it. Not very user friendly, but not complaining.
