Not to mention our ideas of "fat" being rather more stringent these days.Monozygotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04965915993980593549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-87252188402444924832007-03-11T13:05:00.000+00:002007-03-11T13:05:00.000+00:00I mop up everything I like as I try not to over ea...I mop up everything I like as I try not to over eat. I think your thesis is probably right. I had two skinny boys but the elder discovered beer at Uni and the younger in his forties is still lovely but not exactly skinny.<BR/>Oh the days of ' Cowboys love beans. And they love sardines. And Popeye loves spinach!

I do not do this to my boys though - when they are full - they can stop eating.y.Wendy.yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10630727119097764058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-3701773946066426512007-03-10T22:05:00.000+00:002007-03-10T22:05:00.000+00:00I knew I could rely on you, Wendz. You and I are ...I knew I could rely on you, Wendz. You and I are totally normal.<BR/><BR/>I don't think it's the calories, I think it's indicative of an attitude. Sadly. But another thing is, if there is only a little food left on the plate, do you eat it just because it's there?<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't if I'd had enough... Unless the plate stayed and I was chatting, having a glass of wine, using my hands expressively...sooner or later, it would go in my mouth. Especially if it was something I could pick up in my fingers. <BR/><BR/>Knowing is half the battle though. Isn't it?Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-61427047110104095482007-03-10T21:48:00.000+00:002007-03-10T21:48:00.000+00:00No no - not just you Z - I wet my finger and pick ...No no - not just you Z - I wet my finger and pick up every last crumb.
