Lets fight about weight versus volume versus eyeballing, shall we? :}

I guess I don't understand why the need for all the loooooooooooong explanations? Bottom line is we all have a limited volume in our sleeves. It works best if you don't eat until you say to yourself 'Ut-oh, I'm too full". In order to avoid that you need some kind of point of reference or a gauge like a measuring cup, measuring spoons, your favorite plastic container with graduation marks on it, a scale, etc. There's no "best way". There's just whether you intend to measure or not. I didn't do  lot of measuring until I realized that I sucked at estimating by eye. Big deal right? For those that have a "my way is the only way because I'm at goal or been doing this for along time".. GET OVER YOURSELF! The only person/people your impressing is yourselves... Craig

You should really get over yourself.

For me it's because I need something else to do with my mouth so I can get a little wordy =)

We all have points, and sometimes not even pretty hats can hide them.

Hahahaha - Not only do I have a pointy head but a saggy a$$.  On the more serious side... I am thankful for those like you that have maintained for a while and give still in the mos (vs years) a point of view and things to watch out for!  Thanks!!!

I don't have my sleeve YET, but I am a weigher by nature. I am pretty anal when it comes to weights (except my own) and feel "more in control" when I have a concrete weight, even liquid.  Holy cow, I am afraid to find out how crazy I'll become once I have my sleevie!!!!!  I do have a small gram scale (NOT for drugs, but for my pro baking classes)....I'll have to look around for a hard plastic case for it so I can lug it around in my purse!

All we can do with such persons is "Bless them and release them"........if they come back for more, then open up a can of whoop ass!
