In reply to the discussion: Why “Clean Eating” is a Myth [View all]demosincebirth
(12,536 posts)52. Eating is a must, over eating is an addiction. For years, since I was a kid, the more you ate the
healthier you were...that's how many older family's thought. I was a skinny lil' kid and very active so I was never was overweight. Come my discharge from the Army Airborne, I got a job driving fork lift for eight hours. Only time I got off the lift was breaks and lunch, then my pant size went from 30" to 36.
Today I very seldom have seconds at home and when eating out I pick the smallest entree. I am now ready to a 34" waist pants from a 36."
