first step...
Do you remember the first time you DIDN'T clean your plate? I had to physically take my left over food and throw it in the garbage. Then take the garbage bag to the can outside. That was a very difficult hurtle. I kept repeating in my head, "I am full, I dont want anymore food"
My husband, g-d love him, is so hard to deal with. He will ask me, "Did you have enough?" THREE TIMES!! (in different versions. ie. Would you like more? Anyone want seconds?) I have to accept his repetition and wait for all three questions to know he is satisfied with the answer. Then he says, "Here, taste this." as he shoves it in my face. Of course it is not something I would choose for low calorie, high fiber food. I dont mean to hurt his feelings, but the "No" is reactive now-a-days. It comes out without even thinking. I have to say he is adjusting a bit. Sometimes he serves my plate like the children's plate. There is hope afterall.
