General What Do You Do When They Won't/Can't Feed The Engine.

[Tiger Kitten]

I just plain forget about eating until I start getting shaky. It takes a lot of effort to remember to eat. I will eat if food is there and available though. Otherwise it's a "why bother feeding myself" matter. Deciding what I want to eat or where I will get it from also stresses me out so I avoid it. I'm hungry now, but I probably won't eat anything because I haven't decided what kind of food I want yet. I will forget about being hungry in a little while I'm sure. If there is food around me I eat a lot, but if it's not I get distracted.

Tiger Kitten, I haven't given a lot of thought to my eating habits, despite knowing there are people who think I should. But what you've written sounds very close.

Amethist your husband is very lucky to have you. You're compassionate and insightful and can bake an apple pie, in MHO he's got himself an amazing wife. I am gonna have to start a thread in chitchat about apple pie. Every fall I try to bake it and every fall its a disaster, lol. Glad that you found a solution with your husband to the eating problem.

Best,

Bluecat

Thanks everyone.

This idea of his seems to be working so far, toast for breakfast, refreshing sandwiches instead of stodgy ones at lunch time. Then a cooked meal in the evening. My food knowledge comes from my collage days, though not as fussy and intense as they seem to be today. More common sense than clinical.

I will post up the apple pie recipe I'm using on the cooking group later this week. It a bit of a big pie though, you make this one in a deep sprung sided cake tin.
