We all contributed to the meal and very delicious it was, so much so that I couldn’t resist a second helping of some of it. I soon became aware that I was the only one left eating! In my defence my first helping wasn’t a lot, but still I did feel a tad greedy and actually thought “I hope they think I have a healthy appetite rather than greedy”! I would like to add I'm not a greedy person, I just enjoyed the food.Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10502031456581056874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-88276011740334767812018-03-21T15:32:59.886+00:002018-03-21T15:32:59.886+00:00Ramana: I hadn't heard of the 6/18 programme. ...Ramana: I hadn't heard of the 6/18 programme. It sounds good. I think Ian Paisley used to say he never ate anything after 5 pm.<br /><br />"A sense of dearth" is an interesting idea. It's a good explanation for why some people have to keep buying stuff they really don't need.nicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-53268063606862283632018-03-21T14:08:44.356+00:002018-03-21T14:08:44.356+00:00I am not at all greedy and my late wife was what y...I am not at all greedy and my late wife was what you call a dainty eater. I still follow a 6/18 programme which means that I eat between a window of six hours ie 8 am to 2 pm and only consume liquids during the rest of the 18 hours unless I have to take medicines after some food only. In the latter case, I take some fruit or dry fruits.<br /><br />Greed I understand is a psychological problem. A sense of dearth that has to be covered up by a behaviour of excess consumption, or seek legitimacy by excess purchasing.Rummuserhttp://rummuser.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-61069545826788906972018-03-21T09:04:23.837+00:002018-03-21T09:04:23.837+00:00Jean: I'll leave you to pursue your projects.....Jean: I'll leave you to pursue your projects....<br /><br />Tammy: If they were heavily corseted, I doubt if they could eat much anyway!nicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-92057624861964684892018-03-21T09:00:18.321+00:002018-03-21T09:00:18.321+00:00John: So what's your record for the number of ...John: So what's your record for the number of scotch eggs eaten at one sitting?

I still want it."<br />that to me is modern greed.<br />like a whole room for 300+ pairs of shoes? which is crazy and sadly not uncommon. especially sad when thousands of children over the world have no shoes. or not even enough food to eat.<br />the line Michael Douglas said in that movie back in the 80's...
