The scale improved my mood a bit this morning - 204.8. I'll take it.
The pups continue to be cute and active and nippy, and my pounding headache is gone. The baby still has some kind of virus so she's not happy but the Hubs is home (with his own unspecified ailments) and helping.
Portion control continues to be the bane of my existence. I am forever serving myself wayyyy too much and then continuing to shovel it in even when I know I'm physically full. Why is that?
Cuz it's what we've always done - habit I suppose. I'm glad your headache is gone.
ReplyDeleteIt's a learning curve, that's for sure-- I struggle with portion control too-- but we'll keep at it and keep learning... and shrinking.
ReplyDeleteMore times than not, I measure my one cup portion. On occasion, I guess I forget and serve myself too much. I have been known to get a container and take 1/2 off my plate before I eat. Not always easy.
ReplyDeleteIf you figure it out, can you let me know? Someone in Chicago said something about their Dr. telling them that you could only stretch your pouch if you ate HUGE amounts every day for months...and for some reason, that somewhat abated my terror about stretching my pouch. Stupid information sharing. Arg.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should get a McFill.
I'm with Draz in that it's what we've always done. If a little bit is enjoyable and brings us pleasure, who wouldn't want that feeling to go on and on and on...probably exactly what an alcoholic would say after witnessing a non-alcoholic leaving the table with a half a glass of wine left in their glass. We'll get better at this...we have to, right?
ReplyDeleteBecause now it really is true that our eyes are bigger than our bellies :-)
ReplyDeleteIt truely is a learning curve. These days I am finding I am just starting to get the right size portions on my plates, and its been six months.
kristin I have to say that after seeing you in Chicago, I would have thought you weighed less. You looked fabulous, but embrace that 204!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you have some help from your hubby. Sorry everyone's not feeling so good anymore. Portion control? What portion control? If you find it, let me in on it.
ReplyDeleteI want that 204. I serve myself way too much too. I go into panic mode like I'm tiny tim and won't get my share when I know perfectly well I can have seconds if I want them.
