     Now he just says whatever comes to mind
When I first met my husband, one of the characteristics that I respected the most was his honesty. I never have to guess what's on his mind. However, before Alzheimer's he always had a filter. He thought about what he was saying before he said it. Now, whatever is on his mind just rolls off his lips.
I have several food allergies, and have to be careful what I eat. I have to admit, Wendy's Frosty's have been part of my diet for a while. I might be addicted!

This morning my husband asked me if I have given up eating Frosty's. He said it more as a statement than a question. I said, "Yes, I think they may be causing problems along with all my other food allergies." He said, "Well, they're causing you to gain weight too." I said, "What? You've noticed I've gained weight?" He said, "Yes, yesterday before you left for church, that outfit you had on, I could tell you've gained a lot of weight."

I thought for a minute, and then said, "Ok, I will never wear that outfit again! I'm giving it away!"

He thought a minute, then replied, "It's not the outfit."

We are what we wear, and not what we eat? I think those Frosties may contain lactose (I'm intolerant, but love those chocolatey things) or other chemicals or ingredients that you may find some allergy to.

I'm certainly glad your husband has a honest sense of humor that carries through his waning memory. Only the scale can tell whether or not you are putting on weight.
