I forgot the most important: You need a food buddy. You know the way
people have exercise buddies to help them exercise when they're
unmotivated? It's the same principle. Invite someone over to help you
eat (and to help make you eat). I also forgot bananas. Bananas are
good quality year round. Let them ripen a bit and make smoothies using
a banana, Florida orange juice (the tart flavor) and some of those
over-priced, unappealing, fruits which can be improved in a smoothie
with honey.


The funny thing about this is that it's predictable for me and you and
incomprehensible to some others. I once spoke to a guy on another list
who was boggled at the idea of someone losing interest in food.


I'm ready to go have a meal of leftover hot and sour soup (from an
inexpensive Chinese restaurant) and Cheez-its.
