Then you missed out on my favorite foods. I love soups, casseroles,
chili, stews, etc.

If the marshmallows get browned on top, they don't look so bad. But if
the marshmallows are just melted and gooey but still cloud-white, the
appearance is indeed unappetizing, in my opinion.

I think it's the marshmallows that trigger the gag reflex. It's at the
top of a very short list of sweets that I can leave alone. If I want
something warm and laden with fat and sugar, I'd rather have pie or a
warm cinnamon roll.

Me too. Just finished eating one with dinner. It's one of my
favorite
foods. As a kid, though, I hated them. Mom always fixed them for
Thanksgiving and Christmas, using the canned variety and topping
them
with butter, brown sugar, and marshmallows. Even the thought of that
old recipe makes me gag.

It does allow individual flexibility and adaptions. Of course,
this
concept only works if you know the older RANGE program. It
worked
for
me quite well. (oh, baked sweet potato is wafting up this way....

that is interesting, I like the idea that everything is fixed

I
am
reducing food to x amount of food, I had horrible times saving

the
last
day
of my week, that is just too cool how we each can adapt the

the program to suit our individual needs, Lee

I know -ME-. I am really glad I joined when Winning Points or
whatever was the program. I would have been critically
impaired
(G)
by being told I had to eat 24 points each and every day. Even
having
those flex points out there would not have been good enough.
It
would
have been this rigid, inflexible objective each day. NO WAY.
That
is
just not my style. Saving "excess" points was more of my
style.
Also, frankly, my exercise level does not lend itself to
eating
all
activity points as/when earned. I still find that the next
day I
need
more. Altho, I think that I did learn in Europe (well, after)
that
I
should have been eating more each day to counter the extreme
hiking
each day. I think I was TOO driven by "can't gain weight/have
to
control input" when I could have used more fuel. I get this
feeling
that may be what is driving the "broken switch" now. Or
that's
my
excuse anyway.

Well, almost off to WI..... (yikes!)

Ah yes, the old Winning Points program in which you earned
your
extra
points instead of being given them at the beginning of ea
chweek.Hm.
I've still got a spreadsheet from those days. I might try to
dig
that
out. Oh wait. Over the weekend I had to reformat my hard
drive.
That's
one thing I didn't back up.
