[COLOR="Navy"]Lil Deb,
as long as his weight is holding steady, he's healthy, his poo is good, and you can leave well enough alone....leave well enough alone. He is lucky enough to still have the metabolism of a young man. Don't we all wish that we did?
My Daddy still had that same metabolism until the day that he died. He was 6'1" and maintained his weight at about 185-190. When he put on a couple of pounds, he would say, "Oh, my skin is tight.." and rub his tummy. Stop eating cookies with his tea, and within two or three days the five pounds was gone. GRRRRRRR. I did NOT inherit that from my father... My oldest son, who is the spitting image of Dad also has that metabolism..GRRRRRRRR in fact it is even set a little faster on Collin. He is 6'2" and he sits at 136 lbs. And yes, He eats like a garbage disposal that is stuck on...
But what you are going to dofor Daddy, is to put the full plate in front of him, knowing that it is sufficient for him, and when it is gone, it is gone. DO NOT keep filling it up just to see if he will throw up...or burst, or clean out the fridge!
You are not feeding him just because it is his only pleasure left in life...yeah I can see those wheels running in your head and it's warped track they're on dear! You need to consider his health first, not his "only enjoyment in life". dear lil deb...Go to bed. You need to consider this when you aren't tired because you let your emotions override your good sense! I love you dear...now take care of Daddy the healthy, right way.
And we used to add coconut to the apple salad! and sometimes raisins. And it is good! I can eat the whole thing myself. BUT you could make it with coolwhip and save a whole lot of calories for him that he doesn't need!
If you toast the nuts it really brings out the flavor too![COLOR]
