Not too long ago, my mother and I were talking about food and diets. Your grandmother used to feed you pasta five nights a week, my mother insisted. She did not. After all, I remembered my grandmother as a wonderfully varied cook who could make anything taste wonderful. She served all sorts of meals, not just pasta. There was spaghetti, of course - she was Italian, after all. But she also made Ziti with vegetables. And tuna casserole with. By the time I d finished naming off a typical week s worth of menus, I had to concede my mother s point - but I made mine as well. it didn t FEEL like we were eating pasta every night. There s a point to this story, I promise, and here it comes: One of the biggest reasons that people slip off their diets and eating plans is BOREDOM.

My mother was about 65 when she first started to fool around, and lost her mind. You may think I am too hard when I say what happened like this, but this is what happened. She litterly lost her mind when the Alzheimers disease started to destroy her brain. It is tragic when it happens, and even though it happens to many people each year, I did not know much about it before it happened to my dear mother. First I thought she had got some psycik problems, that her nervs needed some help. But after taking her to hospital, she got the diagnos Alzheimer s Disease. She, her self, was the first person to reconise that something was wrong. The first symtoms, as forgetfullness, she managed to hide for us for months. Not knowing where to find things, or put things back, in her own house, was a terrible experience for her. Things like not remembering how to brush your teeth or how to tie a shoe become...
