Thank you so much. It reassures me in that I probably didn't do that badly since I didn't gain after my slip up.

Ya no mine was no slip ... it was a hit the bottom of the lake with concrete shoes when I do it .... I REALLY DO IT UP. Funny thing is nothing was really even worth it..... I generally dont binge eat like that, I was always a big eater before but this was not the same. Wont happen again cause boy I had a food hangover for about 4 days..... uuurrrhhhh!!!

Yoda- Doing what are you?

quick question and I know its been answered before

7 oz of rice/pasta/etc, weigh it after cooking/before cooking???

I have no clue what this means in reality?

I think it is about a 1 cup cooked serving of brown rice or pasta was what I was told, sometimes that seems like alot?

oh thats not much compared to the way I used to eat pasta and rice. thanks.

lol, YA i guess your right I didnt get fat eaten too much lettuce...

Attending a baseball game I was.

(Sorry Georgia gals, our lowly Nationals took out the mighty Braves!)

I went with one of my team leads, a Presidential Management Fellow, an astrophysicist, and a detailee from Houston. Hmm, if you throw in a rabbi and have us walk into a bar, it sounds like a set-up for a joke.

Looks like the boards kept you hoppin' while I was away.

This IS confusing. We had quite a discussion about this early on in the thread. BevS led us all to conclusion that it is 7 ounces cooked... she went back to Tran's book and did the equivalents to back into the right answer.

One of the best tricks I have when eating pasta when you are a volume eater is to put steamed veg like broccoli or a fave on the bottom of your bowl, add your noodles and sauce on top. It brings it up to a nice level, has lots of fiber and tastes good without the huge serving of pasta! I've found if I put the veg on top, it doesn't mask how small the pasta serving is. Plus, your veg get sauced and it is a nice change.

Oatmeal pancakes this morning with blueberries and pecans...

When will you be back?

Tomorrow ... Tomorrow... its only a day awayyyyyyy!!!!! Can ya tell Im excited :eat ing2:
I ordered some of the New Mills blueberry muffins and pancake mix, I will let you know how those are also I gotta dig out that recipe for th PB oatcakes, they sound devine plus I think I could make a batch freeze then heat in toaster at work.... that what I do with waffles for my son..

I picked up on that, yes...

So I searched it out and cooked at 7oz would be about a cup

This is a great idea I also use a smaller plate or bowl, trick the mind...

What's for breakfast this morning?

Anyone notice that they're hungrier on Phase 3? I love the huge breakfast and I'm not hungry at all after I eat it. But after lunch, I'm hungry shortly after I eat - do you think it's the difference of "real" food/protein vs having soup? I almost want to go back to the soup - thought they were really good (and tasted better than Lindora, though Lindora is a much better price!)!
