Old habits

Yesterday by the time I got home from work and running to the store I was starving.  I threw 2 small potatoes in the microwave and got out a piece of leftover steak and 1/4 of a cumcumber.  When I went to get the potatoes out of the microwave I didn't even remember putting 2 in there.  I looked at the potatoes and I thought to myself how did I EVER think I was going to eat all of this.LOL  I didn't even eat all of one of the potatoes.

 It just amazes me sometimes that even after nearly 2 years that old habits just pop up.  I guess it goes to show me that I can't let myself get that hungry because I will still try and eat everything in site if I do.  I am just so thankful everyday that I was able to take this jouney.  In the past I would have eaten both potatoes, the steak and probably a whole cumcumber.  I don't ever want to go back to that person again.

Ditto Teena, I still do it more often than not - my eyes are way bigger than my belly!  I'm just glad to have passed the point where I cried (literally!) because I wanted to eat more, even though I wasn't hungry.  Food just tastes so darn good that without my WLS I know I couldn't have ever dreamed of losing the weight.

Teena,

Know what you mean.

GF and I made mistake of stopping at a Piccadilly Cafeteria going to Savannah, GA Saturday afternoon.  Never again going to a cafeteria.  Went to grabbing food like I don't know what.  Left 85% of it on the table and I was a $20 bill lighter!  We, she and I, have eaten higher on the food chain for way less money and enjoyed the meals more.  We left there kicking ourselves in the butt for what we had done.

Hijack

are you anywhere near ft stewart? asking since I am moving there next month n saw where you mentioned savannah

I am very spoilt with support grou[s here in the metroplex and am hoping to find oone or two or five :) when we move

Sorry Dear but can't help you.  Were only there for one night.  However did see a bunch of folks on River St. who could use a little WLS so if there is not one there one could come in, set up shop and have a ready made market!

it was but a thought

goodness - I was reading this looking at the bowl of dinner I sereved myself going umm why am I totally full with half a bowl of dinner left - so don't feel alone

Tim and the boys have given up telling me when I put to much on my plate - they jus****ch and jump for the left overs LOL

Danni my family still laughs at me when I put too much on my plate.  There are times I eat it all and really regret the way I feel.  Then they look at me like "I told you so".LOL
