Freelancing Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 This was always a popular topic and I hope it will be again. Only the widowed can understand this diet without judging. Cheetos, cake, ice cream, whatever was available. The kids were relieved I allowed them to eat whatever they wanted in peace. Like myself, they also stared off into to space trying to cope with shock and grief. Gentleness always. Mother Nature always did send us cravings for nutritious food to balance us out.

marjoe Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I never judge peoples' food habits. I just sold my deli, but for the prior 7 years, at 6:15 (after working for 2 1/2 hours), I was starved - more times than not, ate a tuna or chicken salad bagel, or my fave, a three cheese bagel (melted) with jalapenos and pickles. Or a turkey sandwich. I'll eat more, and whatever appeals, in the morning than any other time of day. Ice cream? Cold pizza? Why not?

Guest rae Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 In the first 3 months after my husband died I ate frozen chocolate chip cookie dough for breakfast every morning. I still lost weight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wife of Tomasz Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Coffee and a smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgo Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 My eating habits didn't change. That was something I wanted to keep 'normal' for my daughters. I had a waffle, banana, and cherries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixote Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Breakfast is the one meal I get right-- eggs from the chickens or steel cut oats. But cooking anything else is a trip to memoryville. Protein and veg stir fried if I "cook" but way too often my fav Mexican taco joints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcoxwell Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Breakfast was always my favorite meal of the day. When my Kenneth died, I couldn't bear the thought of food. Taking the advice of wiser widows/widowers than I, I would at least eat a banana or drink a protein shake. Twenty-one months later, I am still obsessed with protein shakes, but I often add grits, cereal, oatmeal, a boiled egg, fruit, or other nutritious food item. Generally, I try to make sure that breakfast is something relatively quick and painless to prepare. Saturdays is my one exception.New Guy and I often go out for breakfast on Saturdays, and I generally go for the unhealthy bacon, pancakes, sausage, biscuits and gravy, omelettes, etc. It's probably a good thing that we generally hit the gym on Saturdays, too. Otherwise, our Saturday morning excursions would seriously destroy my waistline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeptrying Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Mine was fantastic. Started with turkey hill natural blackberry lemonade. A box of charleston chews and a bag of licorice. I hid a tub of dulce del leche Hagen Daz ice cream that I snuck out and hid to eat it so I didn't have to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
