He still has a belly to lose, and on his part, it is voluntary.
I actually have trouble getting him to eat enough! I'll also serve him
requests if he asks. He ate quite a bit of the brown rice I'd prepared
for him, but I made too much and had to toss it when it was 8 days old
and went sour. I'm a stickler for food safety and check it routinely.
I'm not eating any starch at all at the moment.

I'm just glad he's eating again. He went a month living on only the
protein shakes I made him when he got out of the hospital a couple of
months ago. I really thought he was going to die on me. :-(
He only lost 5 lbs. due to the calorie count in the shakes. I'm not
trying to starve him to death, honest!

You have no idea how sweet it was to hear him say "What's for
breakfast?:" that Friday morning. :-)
