“Your Eyes Are Bigger Than Your Belly”….Old Folks Used To Say This A Lot….

When we’d take more food on our plate than we could eat.

I must be Old Folks now cause I just said it myself about an hour ago. I sautéed sweet mini-peppers, grape tomatoes and chopped onion till tender and added 3 eggs to make an omelette. Should have made half that. But I persevered and finished off. Then an orange and now a sugar-free yogurt. That’s what happens when I skip breakfast. Oh well, it was all healthy food and I got my protein which I really need now.

@Teslin when I was working at the university a 30-year old was living in the dorms even though he didn’t have to, only those under 21 and freshmen were required to unless they still lived with their parents. This guy would hit on a sophomore trying to get her to have dinner in the cafeteria at night. He got ugly when she rejected him several times. She told me he was being very cheap not even wanting to buy dinner knowing she had a meal ticket to purchase her own meals, and besides he was “OLD”….I was about 12 years older and laughed silently when she said that. I think he was in his room and overheard her because he passed her on the stairs one time and worked some of that into another conversation. 😂

@cherokeepatti Poor soul. He needs to find others his age.

@Teslin He seemed arrogant and he had a weird look in his eyes. Not bad looking but that’s not the thing. I wouldn’t consider going out with someone like that either, that weird look was eerie.
Yep...my dad used to say that

“Your Eyes Are Bigger Than Your Belly” is international, in French it's "Avoir les yeux plus gros que le ventre" 😏

@helenS Sounds sexy when you speak it in French, though. 😂
helenS · 36-40, F

Oh I know when I've piled on so much food that at the end I look at what's left and beg for help

Sounds great! 3 eggs is a bit much, though.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@4meAndyou I need more protein and eggs don’t have a lot of fat. They do have cholesterol but there is lecithin in the yolks that help keep that cholesterol from sticking to the heart and arteries so it’s good.

@cherokeepatti I made a large custard, and ordered 18 MORE eggs for the next one!
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@4meAndyou wow, now that’s a lot of eggs.

[i]"les yeux plus grands que la panse"[/i]...a quite literal french translation that i hear most every other day at work. often intended to convey a sense of prideful greed unto the glutton, whether because of literal appetite or heavenly minded business dealings/grandeurs.
