Carolr Maybe it goes in cycles. Be interesting to see how it goes. Or maybe we are both being normal and don't realize it. I don't think I remember what normal really felt like.LOL
Sometimes I would like to lose a quick ten pounds....Dd's wedding coming up. But I know what happens after that.........I gain it back quick plus more. Plus I don't like starving anymore.
Hi everybody! Hope it is all going ok. I have been away from here for some time, relatively good with my eating. I am trying to finally think Progress, not perfection. Sometimes I do lose willingness like last week when i went away and it was ... I just was not willing not to eat those cakes despite being full. But it is a progress from before because i also ate the salads and the fruit that my body wanted to eat. I have been a bit ill last few days so I lost appetite and ate really basic, simple food. Have been bloated and i think it might be because i eat a range of foods at one time, something i have never done before. And now i think i might have my anorexic head on, which is getting obsessed by how limited my food is. And I know that after depriving, here comes the big eating. So I am willing to just eat and trust my body, eat anything my body wants and believe that there will come a point when i am full and that it will self-regulate itself. Even if my body carries on eating this simple food like toast, rice and peas, lentil soup, fruits. I do feel happy to be lighter and not stuffed. It feels a bit like a break from eating like crazy. So if my body wants that - i will do it, if my body wants to eat a lot, i will do it.
I know from experience that my body does not like junk food and processed food because it does not get anything from them. I just need to make a decision to follow it!
I am going away again next week, out of my comfort and my head is replaying past situations of overeating on holidays. But i am different now and let's just wait and see what happens.
Nothing tasted very good yesterday. Had a nice ham dinner for company and at least they liked it. Had soup in the evening but wish I wouldn't have. Just couldn't think of anything that tasted good. Even the brownies that were good didn't taste that good. I think I didn't let myself get hungry enough.
Hello Carol. I find that when you are hungry food taste so much better and a Lightweigh friend pointed out something to me, the more you eat the less good the food taste, and I payed attention to my eating and you know, she was right, the last bite did not taste nearly as good ad the first bite! Have a blessed day. Tammy
On that note, CC, I have been eating only a couple bites at a time today. I feel good. Probably won't be here much after Fri. as we have a Bible conference this weekend and I help cook for 300. It's fun to see so many people out to here God's word.
I had a really good day yesterday. I stuck to eating a few bites at a time and remained good and hungry all day. Then at night we went to Red Lobster and I had a Maine lobster tail, salad and baked potato. You can do that you know even though that combo is not on the menu. That's exactly what I wanted and it was just enough.
We have not been to Red Lobster in awhile, the closest one is in New Orleans which is about 1.5-2 hours away, so it's not a place we can just up and go, but we do enjoy eating there!

That really makes sense. I read somewhere that after the firt 2 or 3 bites of food that it doesn't taste as good. Guess it's true.
I've been doing a lot of reading on some diabetic threads on other sites and learning a lot. I seem to need to eat smaller/mini type meals more often rather than 3 big meals. Getting the blood sugar to level out and stay steady.
Carolr Enjoy your conference this weekend.
CC Our Red Lobster is about an hour away. Won't drive that far just to eat.
Where is everybody? My goal for this week is to eat on salad plates! Today I skipped breakfast due to running errands, I usually don't skip breakfast, but today just had to. I hope you all have a blessed day.
I don't think I remember what normal really felt like.LOL
