Weighty Matters
171 this morning

I learned a couple of things this weekend.  One is I cannot/should not eat bratwurst.  I thought my body could handle them, but nope.  That's fine; they really don't do anything for me.  So out they go.

The second thing concerns coffee.  Now, I'm not a huge coffee drinker.  I want it maybe twice a year, usually when the weather turns colder.  But for some reason I was craving coffee last week.  The sticking point is that I could never drink it black--I always had to use some kind of sweetness.  Well, this time I tried the coffee with only heavy cream, and to my surprise it was good.  I didn't need any kind of sweetness at all.  Although the problem that I've noticed is that I'm not as hungry for food when I drink coffee.  The coffee and the cream fill me up to the point where I seem to want only about half as much food...and that's not good.  To me, that's a false sense of satiety.  I don't want that; I want to feel full by eating healthy food.  So out goes the coffee, too.  I'll stick with my tea, thank you (that I love to drink black).
