Battling Hungry

Thought for the day:


“Health food may be good for the conscience but Oreos taste a hell of a lot better.”

- Robert Redford



For the last couple of days I have been feeling so hungry. I'm eating three meals a day and 3 small snacks but I’ve still felt very hungry!



This evening I just had to try out the brand spanking new George Foreman Digital Grill that my daughters gave me for Mother's Day. Aren't they thoughtful? The chicken grilled on it was delicious. I know that lovely little appliance is going to get plenty of use.



I love small kitchen appliances the way a man loves power tools.



I'm trying to add some extra protein with my flex points and hoping that it will satisfy my appetite. I'm afraid if any more fiber is added to my diet I may get a little too rumbly in the tumbly.



A while back when I was having an evening when it seemed I just couldn't get my hunger satisfied and I didn’t want to use up all of my flex points, so I tried using the filling foods. I cooked a crown of broccoli and ate that but still wasn't satisfied. I ate a can of green beans and when I still felt hungry I ate a can of sauerkraut.



BIG MISTAKE!



The next day I had so much gas I had to turn my radio up while I was at work to try and cover up the other sounds coming from my cubicle. As if that weren't enough, I was doing twist and shout to the bathroom repeatedly all evening.



Boy, did I learn to be careful with the fiber.
