I have found as an older lady that even though I have a good appetite, I eat a lot less and be full. I wonder if this common for men as they age. There are many of us that still live a very active lifestyle. I am wondering if you can still eat the amount you ate in the past. ?Even if I like a dinner I am having I find I can't eat the same with gusto. For example. I used to be a pizza fiend but now I struggle getting past the first piece.
My husband was still young when he was diagnosed with cancer. That did not slow down his food intake. In fact, I think that is why he did so well through cancer. That is also I dont worry about weight. If we get sick any extra weight can be a good thing in a serious illness.
Enjoying food, I think is a good thing for most of us. If a doctor says we should cut back or quit certain things I get it. Other than that, I think we should enjoy tasty, somewhat healthy foods we cook at home. I worry about the older of our generation that do not enjoy the limited food choices they make. It seems that we are forced to adhere to limited diet just to have a few months longer on earth.
For me, that is not a good choice. I want to find happiness and comfort in my older years. I am tired of this, don't do this and that to live longer. What is the point of that? We are all going to die at some point. There is no escape, I just choose to enjoy things in my everyday life. I have quit smoking, having a glass or two of wine but I will continue to enjoy foods that some think are not healthy. If my husband was still here, he would not settle for less than the delicious meals I made for us. A person can't be happy living on kale and spinach.
What do the men have to share? Do you still want to eat what every you want when you want? Are you upset or angry at others that restrict or don't cook for you any longer? Part of my life was cooking and making my husband and son happy.

Then I ate what I wanted, and stayed around 155 until about 50 and started gaining weight. I got up to 205. Then about 6 years ago went on a Keto diet, and lost 40 lbs. . I gained about 10 lbs back over the last few years. Now, I can not eat the amount of food I once could/wanted to. I am losing weight...down to 160. Now I have to watch getting to thin.!
