(off topic) no no no, stop, danger, off-limits helllllllllllll-p [outrageously good cheesecake recipe] loantech, Remember these past usa Fourth of July when on t.v. news after they show various ways Americans celebrate this day that sometimes they add on the end a quick 5 second clip of the famous hotdog place Nathams of Brooklyn Coney Island where the contest is to eat the most hotdogs in 3 minutes? Well each year for a few now its the same man, and the runner-ups are always big and tall men over 250 pounds, and the winner is hard to believe as he is a trim not big guy from China or Japan. His secret is simple... a BIG stomach. Now i have always been able to eat at a single setting 3 times as much as everyone else, so i guess i got one of those. Now add to this my Polish farmer dna family tree where everyone never gets sick, everyone lives into their 90s, my biological make-up is above normal as in i heal a cut in 2 days that takes others a week or more, my fuel burning efficiency is double that of regular meaning that i absorb more than regular from food than others, meaning that i need less food intake or i simply get more miles to the gallon being same size and weight, and now the bummmmmmer in that i have the "love fat gene", soooooooooooooooooooooooo love fat(cheese cake etc) + BIG stomach + fuel efficient and with those health issues for the heart non-existent with me no matter what i eat sleep drink or smoke my numbers are textbook what the doctor would order, meaning i can throw caution to the wind and eat drink smoke and be merry without fear if i would only accept one simple thing, being getting fat. Yikes and i have doomed myself to a life of denial. Yes i have because i have one other "strength" called will-power, as in example i get a big nasty mosquito bite that itches in the extreme off the please-scratch-me scale, and i will not allow myself to rake my finger nails over it because if you do not in the first 10 hours the itch disappears, but it stays days if you do touch it just once. So my food intake calories for my 5' 7" 175 pounds is 1,500 calories, which is SUCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSss, and would be less if i did not exercise twice a day. Damn'ation, i could eat a 3,000 calorie cheesecake AFTER a nice meal. Sometimes i will eat water for two days so i can globble the good stuff, but thats not good in that my body will go into survival mode and reduce the 1,500 to 1,300 calories needed each day thinking i'm lost in the middle of the ocean on a raft with no food :o( Now for my Insight: Better a happy semi-sick-prone overweight person that enjoys everyday good food and eating even if it includes possible heart diseases problems for self and loved ones than my example of wanting and "needing" and reallllly craving to eat what i want and do not. Really, as in i don't smoke cigerattes but my experience with people that quit and live an extra 10 years of life in my opinion short-change themselves and those around them. The saying goes that one cannot put a money price on a life. ok, but what is it worth for one to have a single happy relaxed day? or, better poor and happy than rich and sad we all heard, but whatis it worth to be happy and content and just plain glad to live each day and look forward to another versus one who restricts themselves from activity they desire and ends up each day as a struggle to complete without doing that one wants to but will not allow? Talking food here, not alcohol, and not cigerattes smoking if there is cancer in the family tree. And i guess not food if there is strong heart problems in the family. Guess i'm trying to say that a trade off is in place for many that decide to stop doing something like good and plentfull eating of food that may be that saying the cure is worst than the problem. Sorry, its just my frustration of myself towards myself that i will not allow myself to gain weight and having no reason not to based on health conditions. My advice to myself, which i will not take, is eat what you desire and weight of 250 - 300 pounds with still exercise done for muscle tone under that fatso outer layer is ok and better than what now is. sucks sucks it does all that good food available and money wise no problem to buy the good stuff and no health problems but even if health problems, go for it better fat and happy until 75 than correct weight and unfullfilled until 95 d:o(ug Cheese Cake Rules, but my willpower is stronger o:(((
