Michelle,
I woke up to the news this morning. It is incredibly sad. We should all love life as much as he did!

Topic: OT: OMG!! Steve Irwin died!
I can't believe it! By a stingray barb through the chest! I opened my internet and saw the story and gasped and my jaw dropped! My husband asked me what was wrong and I told him "Steve Irwin died!" and he thought I was joking - waiting for the punchline. But, ya know, for him to go out shooting a nature documentary is probably the way he would have wanted to go. Man. Prayers going out for Terri and Bindi Sue his daughter and Bob his son. Wow - I am just stunned.

I ate the other half of my dinner at 4pm, then around 9 I got an invite to a friends house, had I would say I had about 3 oz of grilled lemon chicken, and a tossed salad with a glass of sangria.

Um yeah Becky, don't worry about the ice cream part, unfortunately I know it too...Interesting about the eggs though, I'm reverse, I can eat 3 egg whites, but only a few bites of a scrambled, I don't think my pouch likes the consistency.
Topic: RE: That full sensation...Question
Thanks Michelle,
If I were eating something else with my chicken then I could probably only eat about 4 oz also, I'm gonna try wraps, even though I love the "concept" of submarine sandwiches, that Overstuffed feeling after the bread is not pleasant.
Topic: RE: That full sensation...Question
I feel the same way as you - I often feel "full" and if I do, it's because I ate too much and I know it... I also rarely get "hungry", although I try to eat often enough that it doesn't happen, also, to keep my blood sugar in check... I do notice my "boredom hunger" is working full force, though...
How much can I eat?
Pretty much the majority of a 6" sub - sometimes a little less, depending on the day
A HUMONGOUS salad with all the fixins including meat
4-5 oz of dense meat like steak
6-8 oz of lighter meat like fish
A HUMONGOUS bowl of sf icecream - I know, I shouldn't know that... 
2 scrambled eggs and a slice of bacon BUT only 1 boiled egg and a slice of bacon

Good question, Aliya. I generally stop when my hunger is satisfied. I try not to get to that "full" point because by that time I've usually eaten a little too much because when I feel that feeling, it's after I've taken another bite or two and then when those bite**** my pouch it hurts. Like I said, I eat until I'm satisfied, but I eat about every 3-5 hours or so. I will eat bfast around 9 - 9:30 then I'll eat again around 12:30 or 1, then I eat a snack (a piece of fruit or protein drink or something) around 4, then dinner around 5:30 or 6. Then I may have a snack around 9 - 9:30 (I go to bed around 11 - 11:30).
I don't get a full sub, I usually get the wraps and I can eat all but a few bites of it. Chicken breast, I usually get the smallest of the 4 that I cook for my family - probably around 3-4 oz and I can only eat the whole thing occasionally, BUT I usually will have some form of starch (brown rice, pasta, etc.) and a veggie and I eat them while I'm eating the chicken.
I think the reason that it varies with days is it depends on how long it's been since you've eaten, etc. Like if I've been really busy in a day and haven't eaten for 6 hours or so, I can definitely eat more than if it's been my typical 3-4 hours.

Topic: That full sensation...Question
seems so elusive lately... I'm not hungry, but yet I'm rarely full. Is satisfied really the key? Did full get me to obese? If I really evaluate myself, I rarely get hungry....unless I've gone over 4 hours or so. ANd I've been noticing that now that I can eat more, the little pang that I used to get, doesnt come around so soon. Tell me something, should I be shooting for that pang, or just quit when satisfied?
Also tell me how much you guys can eat on average, we know that consistency matters so lets forget about salad, and chili. Can you eat a 6oz chicken breast, or a 6 in submarine sandwich? some days I can, some days I can't. Whats up with that?
Topic: RE: Sunday: Watchya Eatin?
Breakfast- 3 boiled egg whites, and 3 strips of bacon
