I can't eat the quantities of food like I used to. I never go back for seconds of anything anymore because I can't consume more than one plate of food without suffering and being miserable.. Going to an "all you can eat" buffet would be a complete waste of money for me. It doesn't matter how much I love the food, my body won't let me do it and enjoy it. I can have one helping and it can't be huge either. Since my eating habits have changed, I don't cook as much or as often either. I'm having my two adult kids, my son-in-law, and a band mate of his who just moved to St Louis and knows no one over for an End-of-Summer dinner this weekend. We're having bbq pork steaks, burgers, pasta salad, Caesar salad, deviled eggs, fried onion rings, watermelon, and chocolate cake. I'll have a little of everything but it won't be a plateful cause I can't eat that much!
