I'm hungry!
hungry
I totally agree. It is easy to be on the outside looking in, but when those babies are hungry, cold, dirty, ignored and the DCFS won't do anything because they are already short on foster homes, someone has to help. My husband's niece absoltely drives me nuts - lives with deadbeats who always beat her, get her pregnant, don't work, etc. She gets SSI and only gets enough to pay the rent. Gets Food Stamps and Medicaid. Can't get into government housing because she has been in prison herself for a felony. Baby #4 is coming by C-section on 12/18. Mimi here is taking a week's PTO to watch the others then. I can't stand to see them suffer because of parental ignorance. Sorry about the soapbox, but sometimes need to vent.
P.S. I signed Sarah, age 2-1/2, up for Mommy and Me tumbling classes. She and I went last night for the first time. She loved it - I nearly died from over exertion! Wouldn't trade them for the world, just wish they had better parents.
3 p.m. I am so Hungry! 3 more hours
and I start the prep...Rite Aid Oral Saline AKA Fleets PhosphO-Soda AT 6 p.m. Ugghh. My DH's time is near as well. Just as well, I am throwing up everything I try to eat as my GERD symptoms and esophageal stricture is acting up. Think I will just get in my jammies and jump in bed.
That's right!! When children are hungry (sm)
It doesn't matter who is right or wrong - it's not their fault. You can't just leave them like that. Believe me, I grew up starving. We did not get a lot of help because people were trying to teach my parents a lesson--guess what? They didn't learn and we suffered.
I like the way it feels when i'm hungry

Got that right..AND not eating when you're NOT hungry! nm
n
Now you're making me hungry and I have not even
It's not being money hungry or crazy (sm)
Please realize that some people in this world are just plain mean. and sometimes we end up married to them! Believe me I have spoken up. I am not money hungry, but I also don't think it's fair to put my children in a position of being destitute and hungry. That makes for angry teenagers and problematic adults.
Well, he finally stopped when he became hungry enough. sm
But I read all of your responses and I thank you. Of course, now he's coming up to me all kinds of sweet and asking me for bananas, cookies, Goldfish crackers (his favorite).
Hey, at least he isn't eating pancakes...
I too refuse to go hungry or eat what I don't wnat...
Started exercising around Sept. Didn't see any measurable weight loss for about a month. I am so grossly overweight, though, that I can't exercise long. Used to be skinny. Wore a size 1 to 3 until developed thyroid condition, then packed on 50 lbs in just over a month that I never lost, but gradually added to over the years.
It does work, but it's much slower that if you diet, too. My measurable loss was 1/2 lb. I'm down about 1, but I feel much better, which is what counts.
I like to eat--doesn't matter if I'm hungry or not.
During high school, I lost about 30 pounds eating only 1 salad a day and Special K cereal for breakfast. I ran about 5 miles a day and was able to lose 30 pounds in 30 days. It was a complete turnaround for me. I gained self-esteem. I kept the weight off until I went to college.
Of course, in college, I started to revert to my old eating habits and didn't exercise much. I had settled to a comfortable 180 pounds (which wasn't bad for my height/build) when I got married. After the birth of my first child, I weighed in at about 220. When he turned 1, I tried some sort of diet pill (probably had ephedra in it) and lost down to 170. I felt wonderful. I kept that off until 3 years later when I had my second child. I lost some of the baby weight, but not all of it. Two years later, I had my third child. I weighed about 230 pounds and really wanted to lose. I tried Stacker with ephedra and lost like 40 pounds in 6 weeks. I felt wonderful. I kept that off for 2 years.
At that point, I started Effexor and the weight just slowly crept up on me. I won't blame it entirely on Effexor, but that seemed to be the start of it. Now, I'm up to 250 pounds - the most I think I've ever weighed and I would kill to see 200 pounds again. I've been contemplating a few weight loss options and can't seem to decide on one. I've tried most of the ephedra products, phenteramine prescribed by my doc, Nutri-System (but only for 2 weeks - the food was yuck!).
I'm seriously considering WW but would like to have an appetite suppressant to help me out initially. I know from past experience that diet pills only work for so long, but I really think that if I could just get in the groove, I'd be okay. I like to exercise. I only work about 4 hours a day, so I have the time. I just can't seem to control what I eat. I especially love to eat late at night when watching TV. I can do so good all day long and then 10 o'clock comes and I ruin it.
My other problem is that I'm not much of a veggie eater. The only veggies I really like are corn, potatoes, and green beans. The starchy ones. I like fruit, but it's not very filling. I get tired of eating chicken and I'm not much of a fish eater. I'd really rather eat a cheesesteak most of the time or pizza. I love junk food - chips, candy bars, nachos, cookies. I eat when I'm not hungry just for the sheer taste.
Okay, I know I'm nuts and I probably have some sort of eating disorder, so what I'm really wondering is: Is there a good appetite suppressant? I've been checking a few on-line and I can't seem to find a bona fide review by someone who's used the product. These are the ones I'm considering: Leptovox, Fenphedra, Proactol.
Anyone try any of these and did you see results? I know I have to eat healthier and exercise. I'm okay with that if I could just get my cravings under control.
You're making me hungry! nm

me hungry... me eat meat....arghhh
One time I ate a beef rib and got an artery. That made me so sick. Yet, I did not stop eating meat. I have seen a deer gutted in my front yard and it did make me sick, but I ate him. I saw how they treat chickens and blah blah blah, but I still eat MEAT. I must be some kind of psycho! Nope, just human. We need protein. I just have to lay off the cow. Although I will say that I am picky and will not eat fat, arteries, skin, or anything else that just isnt pure meat.
I'm hungry! I want to eat! I'm trying to lose weight and I've been
doing pretty well, but now I'm getting at that poing where I just want to eat anything and everything. Any ideas on what I can do to curb my voracious appetite?
Yeah, if they are old enough to tell you to open your blouse because they are hungry
they are DONE with breastfeeding. Really odd.
I'm hungry and that sounds pretty good right now...

Bunch of money-hungry people
I think this is so ridiculous. Like these artists don't make millions of dollars already.
I think the artists should be fined for not giving a kick back to all the teachers who taught them and police officers who protected them as they were growing up and becoming the stars they are today.
I'm sorry, I just think our society is so twisted. Sports stars and hoochies who sing terribly but shake their breasts at you make millions, but the ones responsible for our safety and the education of our society make crap.
And people wonder why our society is in the crapper!
Okay, off my soapbox now :)
Hard to do but it's working is eat only when hungry & stop when the sensation is gone. Really
s
I don't think she was being curt. We've all eaten when we weren't hungry. SM
I don't think diet pills are the way to go. And I could never understand paying big bucks to Jenny Craig or NutriSystem for food when you can learn to eat healthy all on your own. I agree exercising and portion control are the way to go. I also don't think cutting carbs entirely out is the answer either. Carbs are brain food and energy food. Sure, you don't need go overboard on carbs, but your body does need them.
I used to do diet pills and stuff like that, but I had trouble with my heart racing (as high as 130 bpm!) and my BP skyrocketed and then I had a full blown panic attack because I freaked that something was wrong with my heart. After I finally got my panic attack under control, I realized that I was just poisoning myself with diet pills and diet soda. Even though I had lost weight on them, I cut it all out of my diet. I will not ingest artificial sweeteners at all. I do have an occasional Coke - Regular Not Diet, but mostly water and juices. I've lost about 30 pounds in the last year.
I need to exercise more, though and I just bought the Core Rhythms DVD. I haven't gotten it yet, but it's on the way and I can't wait. I love to dance and I think this might be a good way to get into exercise. I've got about 40 more pounds to lose, but I'm getting there. The big battle for me is fast food. It's so convenient and easy and when I'm getting the kids something, it's easy to just order me a little something, just this once...
I used to be slim and trim too, back in the day. You know, before the kids and 17 years of marriage. In the 80s, I was an aerobics queen! Remember when it was really popular? I had leotards with matching leg warmers and sweat bands, and had my ponytail on the side of my head! I look back now and it was hilarious!
Catlady is right. I notice that even with food my cat LOVES, and even when she is hungry, (sm)
she will often look at a bowl of freshly-put-out food, and then walk away from it. This happens more often if the canned food has been in the fridge & is a little cold. I think the main reason she does it, though, is because if I'm up and walking around, then she thinks there is a possibility I might want to play. Play is more important to her than food! If she sees that I'm occupied with something else, (like working...) then she eventually saunters over to her bowl & starts to eat. Also, cats usually won't eat it all at once. They tend to keep going back to "nibble" for hours. So don't remove it if she doesn't dive into it right away. As Catlady said, let it sit, and eventually she WILL eat.

Dinner Out
Usually once or twice a week with friends and/or the children.
What's for dinner??
Dinner
London broil on the grill with fried potatoes and onions and corn on the cob.
Dinner
I'm cooking up a pot of vegetable stew with Italian sausage. We top it with pesto and parm. I'm making cheddar buns to go along.
Dinner
Grilled cheese and turkey sandwich with a ceasar salad.
Probably just dinner
Either by ourselves or with our best friends, maybe rent a movie.
First dinner
I don't remember the first dinner I prepared for my then boyfriend, now husband...but I do remember the first dinner he ate at my house. It was butter beans, meatloaf, and fried potatos and cornbread! I was mortified when my mom asked him to stay then proceeded to give him the menu for the night. Well, to my disbelief, he absolutely loved butter beans...this was his favorite meal. I about died, being a 16 YO girl, but he loved it!
dinner
I'm making up a big pot of BBQ. You can usually get a pork loin on sale anywhere. I throw it in the slow cooker, cover it with water, and cook it for 24 hours. After that, I dump the water, pick out the fat, and shred the pork. I like to use sweet baby ray's original BBQ sauce.
This is inexpensive if you buy the pork loin on sale. I'm making some for a party tomorrow.
Usually 3-4 pounds of pork feeds 3 of us for about 3 days, unless one of us is really hungry. lol
Dinner
I will either have leftover vegetarian chili with cornbread, or leftover penne with cheese. I always cook enough to have leftovers because I hate cooking, especially everyday. The kids (13 and 20 year old girls) will probably have fast food. My 13 year old is a vegetarian like me so she will probably get cheese pizza or a veggie patty sandwich at Subway. My oldest with probably have McDonald's.
What's for dinner? Looking for inspiration.

Easter Dinner
Just read the post below about Easter dinner. I have a question I am almost embarrassed to ask - does anyone know an easy way to get the rind off the ham?
Need help with Easter dinner.
I am doing Easter at my house for the first time, as I am the only one with kids in my family. I am looking for something to do that is sort of traditional, but fun. My family does not like lamb, but all else if fair game. I would love any ideas to help me plan for my first real holiday feast!!! Thanks and hope you all have a great holiday!
What's for dinner tonight?
Sunday dinner
Well, yeah....The boys (23 and 25) come over on Sunday afternoon before they go work to check up on us old folks and eat up our food. They'll come in and help with prep first. We get a lotta laughs in the kitchen.
They've been cooking since about the age of 5 and 7...I didn't have girls and they wanted to be part of the process... sous chefs (cut this, peel that, okay this is how you sautee) ....worked for me and they'll never starve wating for someone else to cook. Cat
Should I serve something before dinner?
Ok group, it is now getting to be that time again when I have to start thinking of the big dinner spread I am planning to have. I will have ham and turkey with all the trimmings but my question is this - should I have appetizers when the guests arrive, some kind of drinks, wine/champagne or just what? I can put on a good dinner when it comes to the food and all but just wondering what to do prior to the dinner. Thanks so much!
Looking for dinner ideas
We're having dinner guests on October 14, our friends, their 18-year-old son and his friend (who I've been told has a very hearty appetite). It may be too cold to cook out on the grill by then. I'm definitely not a gourmet cook, and I cringe at the thought of having dinner guests because I always wonder what would be good to make. Lasagna is one of my favorites, but my 13-year-old daughter doesn't like it. Would anyone care to share any ideas and/or recipes with me? I know one of guests does not like onions.
dinner ideas
I don't know. I was kinda' thinking of broiling (or grilling if the weather permits) country style pork ribs.
Big dinner here this year but do I need
to thing about serving appetizers before dinner? It is like a show up and dinner is ready to be served so really no waiting around. Any suggestions about easy recipes?
breakfasts for dinner!
mmmm yes love those :)
I didn't take into consideration people's home lives.
I dont have kids... just two dogs! So that is why I just have a boring routine! :)
and my boyfriend doesn't eat breakfast. Man, i dont know how people do that!! :)
Sorry I have no ideas for breakfasts, im very picky as well as boring! LOL
I think I would wait until the dinner
before getting so upset. I understand there is obvious issues with your SIL and if it does pan out the way you have it in your mind right now, then you can be upset but I think it's a little premature to get that upset about it.
By the way, I'd call your daughter anyway!
Been a while - What's for dinner tonight??
Looking for ideas! :)
New dinner recipes
Hey all........I am sitting here (before lunch) thinking what the heck I'm going to make for dinner....I am sooooo tired of making the same things, week after week.....anyone have any new, easy dinner recipes?? Maybe your same-old will be new to me!
dinner ideas
Google pasta faglioli - easy and delicious, also chicken divan. I just love the one pot meals!
We don't have a holiday dinner without
mac and cheese. This is mostly due to my niece. The only thing she will eat at these major meals is kraft mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and rolls. She is 14 years old, but SIL and BIL have no problem with it. I am lucky, my kids don't like everything, but are good eaters and most of the time are willing to try new things.
What is everyone having for christmas dinner? nm
?
What time is dinner again???
I'll bring a bottle of vino!!!
Just kidding, but that menu sounds absolutely FABULOUS. We have an Italian deli right down the street and treat ourselves once a week to lunch. In my opinion, very little can top an authentic Italian deli.
Enjoy that meal for us, too, lol!!!
Have a wonderful dinner...nm

What to make for dinner?
I went to the grocery store yesterday and bought a lot of stuff on sale. I'm tired of the same old same old. Here's what's in my fridge:
Ground beef, a small roast, ham butt, split turkey breast, skinless/boneless chicken breasts. Any ideas?
I had planned to make the turkey breast some day this week with the traditional mashed potatoes, stuffing, etc. I'm also planning to use the ham to make a traditional dinner with the leftovers being made into ham and bean soup. I have no idea what to do with the ground beef and chicken. I'm so tired of the same old thing -- baked chicken or meatloaf. We had hamburgers yesterday b/c it was so nice outside.
Any new ways to make chicken or ground beef?
Easter dinner
