I'm another who simply "enjoys food". There have been times when I've eaten "stupid" - mostly due to Aunt Flo, but most of the time I eat really bad (like days & days & weeks & weeks worth of bad... not just one or two meals or snacks) have been due to boredom. But almost always the simple GOOD TASTE of the food. Mostly those 2nd portions... you know, "Man that was good!!! Is there any more????"
And that's how I inched my way up to 178 pounds.
Now (
again 
) I am in that paying close attention to when I am full. So no matter how good something tastes, I won't eat too much of it - well, most of the time, anyway.
My big thing has always been sweets. I have a sweet tooth from ****, & it's been that way since I was a kid. Only now, sugar is making me sick. I'm borderline diabetic & my cholesterol is WAY high. So I'm making a concentrated effort to get off the processed sugars.
And of course I am "cake girl" at work... each month, we celebrate the employees birthdays of that month & I am responsible for getting & serving the cake. The past two months, I have not had a problem with it. But sometimes, I want cake SO BAD... this morning, I had a taste of leftover cake from our party last Friday.... it was soooo sweet, it made me gag. GOOD!
that is the way I want it to be!
And now... for lunch... soup & a salad.
