Portions so small.....Calories over the top....

Everywhere I turn there is food. Small, big, sweet, savory, tart or hot,  food is abundantly available.  People have to be on alert all the time to avoid over consuming.  We live in a world we eat, drink and gain weight and then we exercise and diet to lose weight.
The world today is a consumer society.  Every minute something is offered to tempt people to purchase.  Two major tools for sales are sex and food and many times they are intertwined.  Food brings people together and now the loss of weight does the same thing.  Eating is necessity of life but should be done within moderation.  I go to eat in a restaurant and choose appetizers thinking that the calories are minimal. It is hare to believe that a small portion of something could be packed with enough calories to cover a complete days eating allowance.  Looking at what these little tidbits are made of the list reads butter, cheese, oil, lard, milk, eggs, sugar, and plenty of salt.  With the consumption of canapés there are beverages wine, beer and champagne more calories.  Show me to the gym!  I need to work off the meal!

I love food but it hates me.  Looking at what and the amount of food I eat and could honestly say that is nothing in comparison to what my cousin Angelos eats.  My cousin and I are the same age and height but he eats nonstop and large meals but his metabolism just incinerates everything.

I must be loosing weight... 

Everyday in life is like being on a yo-yo,  I eat and the scale goes up and I diet for it to go down.   Eating for many animals is just part of life and is done just to stay alive.  Humans use food as a form of socializing.  The kitchen is usually where most families gather all day whether it is to eat or just lounge around or conduct meetings for business.
