Egg Nog Blues, Humorous Moments

[mumofrugrats]

Having a teenage daughter is like starting a new chapter in my life! lol
With the Holiday season rolling around, I wanted to remind my lil girl, she's never forgotten ... well, what better way than thru her stomach lol I completed my usual grocery list & added a lil Christmas flare; mandarin oranges, gingerbread house & of course Egg Nog!
As my son hustled me, I recall hesitating which one Reg egg nog or the 2% Lite version? I grab the whole (he's a skinny minny!) later on that evening he barely touched supper, he must have had close to 4 cups of Egg Nog LOL..then he enquired when I'd be getting more! Considering its so rich, I can't believe his stomach didn't turn LOL
Well, my daughter returned home & quickly headed for the fridge ... anticipating she'd be delighted to see the Egg Nog ~ I hear 'Oh Mum Nooooo...' it wasn't exactly the responds I was expecting, she loves Egg Nog! She complains how it's gonna make her fat!!! :o Unbelieveable LOL ...what can I say.. However it took less than 48hrs to consume!! So, I gather my next shop it'll be the 2% LOL

She whas afraid she whas going to get fat? Lol, tell she won't if she just eats it or drinks it on occasions ;)

I've had weight problems myself. I whas verry skinny at the age of 16. Than I got depressed and started to eat like mad! I gained 36 kg in 2 years. I turned from nice and good figured to fat, 95 kilo's! They found out I got a disease at my bowel and that I should be thinner though no less than 74 kg. So last year I whas enough for me. I stoped eating like hell. Started to move more but not doing a workout and I started to eat like a normal 20 year old female should. I lost 16 kg in 4 months. I had a nice figure again. Now that I am pregnant my weight is around 85, 87kg. I don't mind though, I know ill loose it after the litle one is born.

One advice for your girl. If she doesn't get fat, but doesn't want to be on a diet all the time either tell her this.

A female needs 2000 kcal a day.(that's ducth don't know what's it in english)

A male needs 2500 kcal a day.

Where I live it say on every package of food how many kcal it contains per 100 gram or ml. That way its easier to stay normal and still eat things you like. ;)

LOL, Thanks for sharing Janneke :)
No she's not really concerned about her weight, some of her friends were teasing her about being under weight last year..just falling into the sterotypical..teen girls gotta be thin & watch what she eats. She's extremely active w school activities & jogs during the summer. On ocassion her dad will take her to workout too. Really, she was being a brat! She wont hesitate to polish off a bag of junk food either LOL I'm pretty stern on trying to eat balanced w/o it being a Diet. We love food too much in our home lol & word diet doesnt really exist in our vocabulary :lol:
