*snorts* My husband is 54 so when is it supposed to end? :-P
He is at the point where if he still eats like he did when he was younger it will go to fat. Hard to tell what that amount maybe. The 6 crabcakes might have been a snack when he was in his 20's. Heck I still want to eat big meals and can. I just pay for it with a expanding waistline.
He was 6'3" and about 160 when we married, but I think he's about 205 now. He could eat like a horse--he still can. He used to complain of being hungry all the time. He gains weight more easily now, so it's easier for me to keep the sweets and treats to a minimum in the house.
I haven't really eaten much for the last few years, but as a boy growing up on the farm, the sheer amount of food I put away was nothing short of frightening for people. That appetite continued well into my military career since I kept the weight off working out.
- I have been thrown off a buffet because the manager refused to believe I was not feeding anyone else
- I once ordered my food in a restaurant while seated with eight other people and the waitress walked away, believing I'd ordered for the group
- I once ordered and ate so much after-hours food in a Japanese restaurant while under the influence of alcohol munchies the patron called his wife to come from home and witness the event; when I actually ate it she walked around me several times, poking me with her finger as though she wondered whether I'd pop
- A chef once came out from the kitchen demanding to see who was claiming they were going to actually eat all the food which was on one order; when I finished everything except half an order of one appetizer (I think he made my portions larger in an attempt to prove something, they were certainly larger than everyone else's at the table) he actually came out and gloated at it, as though he'd won something
I won't say I miss eating like that; rather, I'll say I miss the freedom to eat like that when I wanted because i was so lean.
I just LOVE good food, yes I do! I wish those "international eating contests" had existed when I was young and ate that way!
Food! Why is it the guys you are with always seem to pile away the food. I made crabcakes for dinner and my husband eats 6 of them......plus 3 helpings of corn.....mashed potatoes...and 2 slices of pie. Then sits down for 40 minutes and gets up for a snack. If i even dreamt of eating that much my thighs would start to expand on the spot. So how about it ladies does you mate eat the world away .
