Every post relates to my own pe...I love your blog! Every post relates to my own personal weight loss journey and this one especially! I literally don't get full. I will eat everything that's placed in front of me and I can ALWAYS order dessert and finish it no problem. I think it's due to growing up in a typical Italian family where food is the answer to everything and your constantly being served appetizers then the main dish with sides and then desserts and then even more random food all in one sit down. And when you only eat one big huge bowl of pasta and decline another helping, they think you don't like it and then you have to eat more to please them. Portion control has always been my biggest problem and hindrance. A couple of weeks ago I decided I have to do whatever it takes to get this under control. So I re-started using my fitness pal, went food shopping, and plan out my meals when I wake up. I pre-record each meal and only make changes if necessary. I have been buying weight watchers little ice cream bowls because I have a major sweet tooth! So at the end of the day I always have something to look forward to. I find that as long as I know what I'm going to be eating and that's what I have in front of me, I am satisfied. When I know that I'm going into the parks, I try not to eat a lot that day because I know I'll splurge a bit while there. And if I am going out to eat, I pick out what I'm getting ahead of time and record it into my fitness pal. So far I've been sticking to it just fine and haven't lost major lbs yet but have definitely lost inches! Down one pant size at work from just two and a half weeks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09396725334253290500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7437590989315138545.post-70260177096573400592013-03-15T10:24:51.693-04:002013-03-15T10:24:51.693-04:00Brad also has the same mentality as you, that if t...Brad also has the same mentality as you, that if there is food on his plate, he feels like he has to eat it. For me, I have the mentality that you should eat until you are full, and not past that point, so I don't feel obligated to clear my plate. However, that doesn't mean the food goes to waste either. If you're at a restaurant, get the leftovers boxed up and take them home to eat the next day - the food will still get eaten, but you aren't stuffing yourself all at once. At home, it's easier to measure out smaller portion sizes to begin with, but still, if you find you can't finish what's on your plate, just put it in the fridge for later. To me, I think that's a good way of ensuring both that you get as much food as you need to feel full at any given meal, while also ensuring that what's left doesn't go to waste.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7437590989315138545.post-74877492123625054562013-03-15T09:58:36.345-04:002013-03-15T09:58:36.345-04:00Hey lovely...
First off let me tell you how proud...Hey lovely...<br /><br />First off let me tell you how proud of you i am. You are doing so well.<br /><br />I find that when it comes to portion control it is very hard for me too. As you know i LOVE food. I am finding that once i get my food, if i ask for a box straight away and put half of my food in it, that it helps.<br /><br />As for eating when i am full, this is something that i am struggling with also. I have heard of many different things to do... Drink lots of water.... Put your fork down after each bite.... wait 15 mins before ordering a desert...But it really is a case, for me, of finding that point and being OK with not eating any more. I dont know why i have the need to finish what i am eating... Or why i rush through my food.... BUT I know that it is a case of becoming more aware of my body and what i am putting into it and how that makes me feel (yes that can be read in a wrong way but you know how it is meant).<br /><br />I am here for you whenever you need support and i love your blog!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7437590989315138545.post-27157234817382278562013-03-15T01:11:18.753-04:002013-03-15T01:11:18.753-04:00I don't know how helpful this will be but I he...I don't know how helpful this will be but I heard about someone who poured water over her food once she was done eating but still had food on her plate. <br /><br />I struggle with this too so now I measure almost everything I eat so I won't have leftover food. <br /><br />Mafe :-) Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01961932978298376307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7437590989315138545.post-59859442593395926912013-03-14T21:27:59.105-04:002013-03-14T21:27:59.105-04:00People food, haha!!!People food, haha!!!Katie Lewishttp://www.slowdownsavor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7437590989315138545.post-66073031472836015232013-03-08T20:33:33.045-05:002013-03-08T20:33:33.045-05:00My husband hates salmon, so I hardly ever make it ...My husband hates salmon, so I hardly ever make it at home, but tilapia is a good mild fish for non-fish eaters. A really easy way to prepare salmon is to put some chopped tomatoes and sliced lemons on the fish, drizzle with olive oil and then wrap in aluminum foil and bake. you can also add any herbs you like for more flavor. start an herb garden for this summer...they're the best for adding flavor with no extra calories. rosemary is awesome on fish and chicken!Caramiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624380358035158750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7437590989315138545.post-16432907686002317652013-03-08T20:28:53.256-05:002013-03-08T20:28:53.256-05:00good job! it's hard making big changes, but i...good job! it's hard making big changes, but it sounds like you're going about it the right way.

I used an english muffin (my favorite thing ever)and grilled it just a little in the pan then put a little pizza sauce, mozzarella, italian seasoning, and turkey pepperoni that I fried in the pan. By fry I really mean that I just sprayed some fake butter on the pan and let them crisp up haha It was much more delicious than I thought it would turn out to be! However, Domino's is much more convenient. And amazing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09396725334253290500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7437590989315138545.post-65715325074282020762013-03-08T19:53:41.982-05:002013-03-08T19:53:41.982-05:00I love oatmeal too!

But my favorite breakfast usually consists of turkey bacon, turkey sausage, an egg, and a whole wheat english muffin that I warm in the pan and usually some kind of cheese and I make it into a breakfast sandwhich..

I am a total creature of habit and I could eat the same thing for a week! haha and typically every morning (at least week day mornings) I have a protein shake that I just take with me and sip on til mid morning. I cannot make my own omelet, but my hubby makes a mean one that I love to eat on the weekends. He also makes this amazing breakfast quiche too!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357995376279492347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7437590989315138545.post-84827079818467365032013-03-01T23:13:16.550-05:002013-03-01T23:13:16.550-05:00This is awesome!
