Re: Interesting observation...

May 30, 2009

Just wanted to add that I also really appreciate this observation. I have

noticed that I was trying to keep the house well stocked, but as I started to

slack off with that, I have started eating more and gaining weight.

Well, so it goes. Life is too short. I'm trying not to be upset about it, by

coming here and rereading all my books, and those things help a lot.

mac n' cheese day, which is pretty much a staple in this house. Usually I make

up 3 boxes of Kraft mac n' cheese for my 5 kiddos. Usually they clean out the

pan and beg for more. And it always seems to be a competition...the oldest wants

to eat the very last drop and the others try to eat as much as they can before

oldest cleans it all out. The last two times I've made 4 boxes worth...and

believe it or not...I usually end up having 1-2 boxes worth of leftovers!!!!

What's interesting, is that now that everyone knows that there is plenty to go

around, they eat more slowly, don't try to compete with each other, and

ultimately end up eating LESS...Go figure!!!!
