Wasteful!!!???

Does anyone feel wastful? I only eat 1/4 of a cup of food and still have not gotten into the habit cookin just a little bit. Just like last nite I had baked mahi mahi and peas and carrots i measured the peas and carrotts just right but when I ate my 1 oz if fish and jus a couple of peas i was full and could not finish now i have a piece of fish left and i think I might throw it way because i plan to have a protien shake for lunch and chicken breat for dinner so i might get to eat it on monday depends on hw i feel, but i feel guilty about throwing food away even when i cant fini**** i can just here my mother saying it starving pepole everywhere and you never know when youll be one of them!

I hear ya!! Luckily, the dog comes in real handy! Carolyn

I've found the same thing.. I DO have a dog.. but I like to fix frozen dinners out of my left overs.. makes it good for those exhausted days when you just don't feel like cooking.. btw.. that fish sounds great!!! ~ Jan

Save it for a snack! Protein, protein, protein...... our best friend. Just think how you are going to feel when you start throwing out (or giving away) all you clothes. Good luck, Dawn

I KNOW what you mean!! So far I'm only allowed a full liquid diet, and haven't felt much like cooking. So we've been to several restaurants and I get soup. After feeling gorged on the liquid part of the soup, I look down, and the cup of soup looks like I haven't really touched it! It does feel like a waste sometimes. (you can't really take home the parts of the soup you can't eat) Its strange having waiters ask "Did you like it?" "Are you finished?" "You only want the soup?" What a bizarre new world we're adjusting to. And when I see the portions at restaurants... I can't fathom how I used to eat as much as I did... but the fact that it seems almost everyone is overweight these days isn't surprising. Good luck to everyone!
