Domination and confusion are my major spiritual gifts, you know.

Well, and misplacing things.

And knowing all the line from "The Jerk."

And this matchbook, and this paddleball game.

oooops sorry I came accross preaching>>>>? didnt mean to.
I was just sharing what I do or my feelings about the jerk who upset you...
and supporting you.

My apologies if you read it wrong, my intentions were to support you.
It was meant for the Sh*t head when he/she reads this thread. "its sideways"
not a preach.

No way babygirl! That's just a colloquialism, like "right on," "amen," "hells to the yes!!"

No sorries! I did not realize it was a local sort of phrasing I guess! :}

I'm a weigher. My food...me...we're both addicted to the scale. :)

At some point, I was read that everything needs to be by volume and so, I grabbed my measuring cup and put my 1/2 cup o' greek yogurt in there. and then I threw it on the scale and it was 5.5 oz. All this time til then, I was religiously eating 4 oz of greek yogurt by weight and doing just fine. It was plenty of food and sometimes it was too much food. I figured it was working, so if it ain't broke, I ain't fixin'.

and like FGLC, if I don't weigh before eating, I will overeat. Almonds? Yep, 10 in my bellah before I measure out my 28g serving for the day. But if I didn't weigh, you can guarantee that I would cram 50 almonds in that 1/4 cup.

There's a reason why I needed this sleeve. I LOVED food and LOTS of it. and I never thought while I ate...just crammed it in. So if I can't cram in my stomach, I'll cram it in that stupid measuring cup. :) a scale keeps me honest.

I really do both. I use bowls that can only hold about one cup worth of food for any soft food items, and a scale for meats. If I allowed myself to eyeball it, I would regret it. My eyeballs lie every chance they get about food. I would guess most of our eyes lie about food. Studies have consistently shown that we underestimate how much we have eaten. How we measure is a personal choice, I find the bowls easiest but people should do whatever works for them. Why anybody would give you a hard time about this is beyond me.
