Another day, another challenge. My older brother, God rest his soul, used to get fresh sweet corn from the farmers he called on. He would then give me a call and my family and his would get together and eat corn on the cob til it came out our ears (figuratively, ha, ha). We used to laugh at how many ears of corn I could eat at one setting. I think back and realize now I shouldn't have been laughing. My sister-in-law called today to say she had some sweet corn and did I want some. Foolish question. Of course I want it. But now, with the band, I have to think about what I eat. Corn is a carb and it also has that hull. I could probably eat it with out problems right now since I haven't had my first fill, but I need to start establishing good habits now. So I said no. Hubby not a big corn fan, so he was OK with it. I have to learn to eat right, not for memories. I felt sad, but proud of myself for turning her down The first step in dealing with my addiction..

It's difficult dealing wiht the loss of a sibling. I know. But I also know that my sister would rather have me healthy, then persay make one of her signature dishes. I am sure your brother would want you to be healthy too. There must be other things that remind you of your brother and concentrate on those.

You did well. I always think how cows are corn fed. Makes me not want to eat it. We get corn from the Amish here. My husband and son love it. They dont have the problem I do with weight.
