Chasing fullness. . . . .
Don't know if others are in the same boat, but at my last support group, a newbie said that they were surprized that they never felt full, and the proverbial light bulb went off in my head.
I've "gotten off the wagon" and realize now I've been chasing fullness, or at least the fullness I used to feel. (and the reason for my 20 pound regain from my lowest weight) i've been grazing trying to get the sensation, and now realize what a fool I've been, I need to get my head around needing to be satisfied and to stop when that sensation hits versus overeating/grazing to feel full.
I know i can get the regain off because I have the tool (RNY) now I need to wrap my thoughts around doing what I need to do in order to do it. I've also been adding Benefiber powder to my protein drink every other day, and finally it is working - or at least i'm getting the feeling of being satisfied.
Wondering what others are doing who are experiencing any of the same things.
