People watching you eat....!

Just think - now she'll have two of you to ask....

I was lucky - my mother went through all the pain of re-training my grandmother, so I haven't gotten a lot of that - at home anyway.

my mom is constantly going "Can you eat that?, Can you eat this?, Don't eat that!!!  NO DAN NO".  I swear some days I want to just tell her to take a chillaxitive.  At Thanksgiving I had a generous plate of food and yes I ate about 95% of what was on my plate.  My mom's friend Dorothy who was there said "I think Dan is eating too much".  I informed her that last year I had about 3 times as much food on my plate and that was the FIRST plate.  Plus what I was eating this year was much healthier, and I ate it a lot slower and had not ate 1-2 times earlier in the day already.  I had some chocolate dessert and only ate half of the already small piece I asked for. 

My friends still constantly watch me eat stuff and ask questions.  They don't annoy me that much cause i think they are all so fascinated and really happy for me and my success.  I have a friend we have nicknamed Ogre who goes out with us all when we go to IHOP.  He eats my pancakes and whatever is left on my plate.  Last time we went out i got 2 eggs and a hamsteak which came with hashbrowns and 2 pancakes.  I ate both the eggs and about 1/3 of the hamsteak and gave the rest to him.  Everyone at the table was proud of me and it made me fell good.

Chillaxitive?  I love that!  I'm gonna use that one myself!

Glad you're doing so well!

I am not but about 3 1/2 weeks out and I havent gotten that problem so uch as people being concerned or bothered to eat in front of me. I am like it is ok I am really full on my little bit and yes while I am very ready to be off the pureed foods I am satified with my little bit so please don't be afraid to eat what you want when you want. I made this decision and I am very happy with it!
