Cathy: Before Mother's Day, I overate because I was nervous that I'd overeat when I was with my mom. While I was with mom, I overate because I was disgusted that I'd over-eaten before I saw mom. After mom left, I overate because I was miserable that I'd wasted so much time before and during my visit with mom overeating! Incredibly, all I can think right now is how much I deserve a little snack.

The best reason to overindulge is the first one you think of. I embrace the bulge I have as a sign of quick thinking.

For me, if I start overeating, it seems to start an avalanche of overeating and it takes something (like a reset) to stop that. Cathy needs to do something to stop her overeating and stop her blaming it on other things, like her mother. My mom didn’t blame others, but she would keep buying ice cream and other desserts and then complain that she was overweight. Hmmm….
Hello Cathy friends! Happy Monday! Have a great day, all!

I’m surprised Cathy didn’t mention the pile of leftovers mom insisted she take home.

My husband and I went to our daughter and son-in-law’s house yesterday afternoon for a Mother’s Day get-together they were hosting now that everyone in the immediate family had been vaccinated. Smoked brisket, chicken and bar-b-que beans; mac and cheese; coleslaw; potato salad; deviled eggs ….. the works! Then, for dessert, there was pound cake, peach cobbler, banana pudding, and homemade strawberry ice cream. Yep. I’m sure you guessed it. Everything was so good that I completely overate and felt like I was ready to pop. I don’t do that when I go to an all-you-can-eat restaurant buffet! We brought home leftovers but after over-stuffing myself yesterday, I don’t want anything bigger for dinner tonight than just a simple ham and cheese sandwich! :-P

Overeating when stressed is the cause of my extra weight. When I try to eat smaller meals (the only diet that works for me) my wife, of good Germanic descent, worries that I am not eating enough. I know she comes by that honestly as her mother (who I miss as much as my mother) was not happy unless everyone was eating. Guess that came out of the lack of food when she was a little girl growing up in Germany during the 2nd World War.
Happy Monday again. Please enjoy the day.
