I can't remember anything in particular, except maybe when I was young. We sometimes had bread with both butter and cream cheese on at the same time. As I got older, that seemed like overkill, so I switched to just putting one or the other on the bread.
Once, after my younger brother cooked up some sea bass, my mother went to help herself from the pan, but instead of taking the meat of the fish, she took the fatty rind. I saw what she was doing, and made her take the fish meat instead. She was also fond of fatty pork chops, and other fatty foods. She wasn't fat, though. I am the family fatty. On the plus side, I've lost a lot of weight lately. I've been using web surfing to keep me too distracted to go eat for many hours past a normal time, and have been doing this every day for about 3 or 4 months now. I often eat less often than once a day now. People on the Autism spectrum often have the tendency to get very engrossed in things they are interested in, to the exclusion of whatever else is going on, or should be going on, so I decided to try to use that to help me lose weight. I call it the PC Diet. Yes, it's funny, but it is working:!: I have been way over weight for decades. I still have a long way to go, but now I have a way to lose weight that works for me, and it doesn't involve dangerous drugs, or exercises that would be hard for me to do, due to my other health issues.
