This board is boring today! Today's question of the day.

Notice since my dariling sister is gone that this board is boring???  Now, I am not saying that Glitter talks a lot but if the posts show it then it must be true!

OK, lets try a question for the day (stolen from the VSG board.)

What kind of eater were you (or are if pre-op and haven't been reformed)?  Were you a grazer, volume eater, binger, sweets eater? carbs of any kind?  Were you into fast foods?

Denise

I was a grazing, volume eating, carb-aholic.  I also was addicted to any food that was fast and easy.

I don't miss the volume or the carbs.  Grazing is going to be an ongoing challenge. I can see how it would be easy to eat a lot of calories during a day by eating small amounts many times a day.  I fell into that trap a little bit on Sunday.  I will be more watchful and ask myself it is truly hunger or that stupid old head again.

Well, guys?  What's your story?

Denise

I am a grazing emotional salt eater and soda drinker!

That's an easy question....  All of the above 

I was never a grazer, but let me tell you I could pack some food away.  I think that my monthly food intake would have fed a little league football team for their entire SEASON!!! 

Anyway, loved the carbs too.  Fast foods were okay, but primarily it was VOLUME!!!

I am a grazer, volume eater with certain foods, sweets (love the silly sweets like Valentine hearts and Hershey kisses), and I could live on french fries.  I also eat too many fast foods.  I love vegetables so they have never really been a problem, but my husband travels a lot and so I hate to cook for just myself.

Oh my gosh.  I guess all of the above, however, volume was something that I needed the past couple of years.  Could not get full.  I love sweets and salty carbs.  Typical.   Not much on soft drinks so that will be the only thing that will be super easy for me.  All the fast food restaurants were my buddies. - Carol.

Where is Kim?

My weakness has always been sweets!  I could binge or graze or emotionally eat them.  I cant' think of any bad habits with regular food except for carbs.  They were my other comfort food and sometimes I would eat a big ole helping of cheesy potatoes followed by a half gallon of ice cream if I was really upset.  I guess I snacked a little too much too, like on popcorn and stuff.  Haven't kicked that one yet.  I'm still always knoshing on trail mix or protein snack bars.  I'm trying to replace snacking w/ fluids, but it's easier said than done.  Thanks for the question, Denise!  Are you planning on going to support group Thursday?  Diana

Yes, I will be there on Thursday night!  See you then!
