Do you like or dislike being short?

I'm the same basic age and size as OP and I eat three meals and multiple snacks every day. Maybe, I'm overeating every day, who knows? But I always seem to be the same weight within a pound or two, so probably not. I do not find any type of food particularly filling and I've always had a very active appetite. It's annoying because DH has the slowest metabolism imaginable and a decent-sized breakfast will keep him full until 8 pm (but he cooks, so I just snack).

I do not share OP's fondness for boiled potatoes and beef, ha.

Not share love for potatoes? lol, few love potatoes as much as people from my region do! Don’t get me started on cabbage.

I run a lot.
I am scared of bone density loss.
I also don't want to buy a whole new wardrobe so I stay in my weight zone.


This is so true. I literally have a dozen boxes of old clothes and keep three wardrobes on hand, my clothes from 20 years ago when I weighed 125, my clothes from newlywed days weighing 145, and struggling with late 40s weight gain at 180 lbs.

I start exercise programs, can’t commit. Lose 10 lbs gain it back and more. Devastating.

No, my mom is obese, but not morbidly so. My sister used to be very thin until 27 now she is around 63 kg but she just had a baby and is slimmer than pre pregnancy. My paternal grandma was a nice stocky woman that taught me to cook, some best Hungarian/ Austrian/ Balkan fate. She was heavy in that grandma way but extremely agile till her death at 86. My maternal grandma was always slim as were both my grandpas. My dad could gain weight in his stomach but was average weight most of the time.

OP, do you drink alcohol and how much/often?

I do not drink alcohol almost at all. On special occasions is I’ll have Irish whiskey, one or two glasses, no ice. Red Breast is my fav. Alcohol is a stimulant to me and I never drink that much to bypass the insomnia it causes.

I would say that I overeat on the weekends, but I will eat two meals or even do omad during the work week.

One gets rid of any fungus by not indulging the troll fungus.


I'm enjoying it. Why should I stop asking questions? I don't care if she's a troll, if she's skinny-fat, or if she has hairy nipples.

More questions:

What was your undergraduate degree in?
What color clothes to you prefer to wear?
Do you have any pets? Are you afraid of doberman pinchers?
What size are your feet, and if you've had kids, were they smaller before?

Gosh, I go overboard a lot. Something a whole tart cherry pie that I make. I can't stop, as in I have no control. Also, I will overeat beef dishes like the Swiss bliss with potatoes and have four instead of two portions. I can eat half a roasted chicken for dinner. I have a very large appetite and have to curb it now, not before, with some IF.



I want to know what a full day of eating looks like. Do you eat less the day after?


Yes, I eat much less the day after. I would say that I overeat on the weekends, but I will eat two meals or even do omad during the work week.

On the weekend, I eat breakfast: Sausages and potatoes often, a solid portion. I make the potatoes; they used to be fried, but now they are boiled and then lightly fried, like country potatoes.
For lunch, I eat roasted chicken or salmon with potato salad(this potato salad consists of boiled potatoes with a touch of oil, salt, vinegar, and onions. I don't eat the onions; they are just for flavor. I have an issue with raw onions.
I snack on several bowls of home-popped popcorn, not sure how many cups. I also eat around three apples, McIntosh at the moment, most days. I make a cherry pie each weekend, but I don't add sugar; I buy tart cherries in light syrup and drain the syrup.
Depending on my hunger levels, I might eat sour kraut with smoked ribs for lunch, beef stew, or dinner. I eat very heartily on the weekends. I eat curries, take away, pad Thai, or sometimes Chinese. I don't like to go to restaurants that serve American fare; I can make all that at home and better. During the summer and in spring, DH and grill steaks and eat them with baked potatoes and salads and corn.

On weekdays, I generally skip breakfast, even though I enjoy breakfast. If I have breakfast during the week, it is steel-cut oats with raisins and fake sugar or two Sunnyside-up eggs with a piece of bread.
For lunch, I have smoked salmon with yum yum sauce, some pate, I like them, a whole small can of it, and a massive bowl of blueberries or two apples.
For dinner, I will eat a wing, drumstick, a tight of a chicken, some veggies, dates for a sweet treat, and significant Medjool dates.

Sometimes I skip lunch, too, due to too much work. If Ido that, then I have both what I would've had for lunch and then dinner. Sometimes, I have regular salmon or trout fillet instead of smoked salmon, a nice portion too.
I also make pea "soups," which are more liquid than a stew, but not a soup or bean soup with smoked ribs. I like to snack on olives, tomatoes, cherries, pears, and other fruits. I make a lot of veggie dishes, such as fried zucchini and cauliflower. I cook a lot.

I snack on a lot of home-popped popcorn(from kernels) every day.



You confirmed what I was thinking how you eat.

Wholefoods and low fat.

Pork ribs, smoked pork ribs—beef with peas and mushrooms, with a side of boiled potatoes.
