Feeling like a huge fat failure...
Leaving food on my plate is still very hard for me. I hate wasting food. And I always serve myself too much. And even then I think it won't be enough.
I just tell myself that if it isn't enough then I can always get more. I rarely if ever do.
I also have learned that forcing myself to finish something can have painful consequences. I know that one more bite will hurt big time. What I do is either toss the food (god I hate doing that) or put it in a container for leftovers if there is enough left for another meal or give the rest to my dogs, who are now obese themselves since I had surgery. Those poor guys get so excited when they see me get food knowing that more likely then not they will be sharing with me.
Usually meat that I can't finish. My little girl was a little over 4 lbs when I had my surgery. She is now around 9 lbs. I wonder if they have WLS for dogs? She would be a good candidate.
