Dinner tonight wasn all that interesting. My dad had a turkey sandwich and I had meat sauce. I will need to eat again around 10 pm. Why not eat more now? I am done with wanting to chew food. I ate enough and cannot swallow anything else.

jeremysgirl , it's an honor that you allow me to support you so wholeheartedly. bc2ca , I love that idea. What a cool concept. My nephew has played violin with some famous people, but the funniest was Chita Rivera. Her "people" informed the symphony musicians that no one was to approach Ms. Rivera. Well...excuse me. He said that the only thing he had to say about her was that everyone was afraid that she'd fall and break her hair. She had used a can of hairspray and had the firmest hair anyone had ever seen. I saw the performance and she did, indeed have very firm and tall hair. stormsts , there are some really swanky independent living communities for your parents. I hope you find a great place for them to live, safely.

Do any of you leave trouble swallowing? I am having trouble swallowing food. I had a doctor (expert 🙄) terrify me of getting a throat swallowing test so I told them at my colonoscopy I didn’t want to pursue another test. I think I am just eating bites of food that are too big for me. Do you want to post tomorrow if you are going to bed?

I think I am just eating bites of food that are too big for me. Do you want to post tomorrow if you are going to bed? I am going to be honest with you ... and I say this with love ... I believe that you are afraid of food. You are fixated on your weight. You are happy when you "eat right" and are on some sort of diet and are unhappy when you eat "bad". I am unqualified to say that you have what we old people would call an eating disorder but I do believe that it is a possibility. The fact is, as we age, many of us will gain some weight no matter what we do. I would speak to your family doctor about seeing a professional who deals with people like you ... someone who can help you achieve a healthy relationship with food. It won't be easy but we are here to support you ... especially me because I had to resort to bariatric surgery to gain control ... we all have our demons. Hugs to you!  |

leannec I told my dad the cause of my weight gain today. I caused it by worrying and eating myself silly. I truly do not like eating. I will bring it up with my therapist.

You said what I’ve been thinking. You probably need a therapist that deals with eating disorders. |
