"The Voice of Reason" wrote in message om... wrote in message ... Last night DH and I went to dinner at our favorite steak house. I had one small saucer-size plate of salad, one small sourdough roll w/ butter, about 3/4 of a medium-sized baked potato w/sour cream, and maybe a third of my steak. My beverage was two cups of coffee. What's the point in even going if you're not going to eat anything? What's the use in staying home when you can go out and enjoy other people's company? In case you didn't notice she did eat something and enjoyed a dinner with her DH. Eating sensible doesn't require eating all meals at home. |

... Last night DH and I went to dinner at our favorite steak house. I had one small saucer-size plate of salad, one small sourdough roll w/ butter, about 3/4 of a medium-sized baked potato w/sour cream, and maybe a third of my steak. My beverage was two cups of coffee. In the past, I would have easily eaten a second plate of salad (they leave the bowl on the table after serving you), 2 or 3 rolls, polished off the whole potato, and at least half the steak. Plus, when the waitress asked if I wanted dessert, I said no. Not because I "should" say no, but because I was completely satisfied and truly didn't want any. And they have a fab chocolate mousse cake too! But that's the beauty of eating whatever I want in moderation - since I knew I could have that or something else equally wonderful at any time, I didn't *have* to have it last night like it was my last chance. This really is a wonderful way to live! Yahoo for you, M-C! It's this kind of success and experience that helps you build on the next time ... and the next ... and the next. One meal at a time, one day at a time. Mary M 325-153-145 |

"Lictor" wrote: "Ignoramus13229" wrote in message ... I have extreme difficulties with throwing food away. In restaurants, fortunately, they give boxes so that un-eaten food can be taken home. That's a pretty common problem. As a psychiatrist I read put it "So, you're not hungry anymore, but rather than throw away the food, you prefer to eat it. You are, in fact, confusing your own body and the garbage can. Do you have so little self-esteem that you act as a human waste disposal unit?"... Doggy bags are certainly a solution, but only if you don't end up eating all that food without hunger, just because "it will go bad". My old WW group leader used to say "Let it go to waste or it will go to waist." Throwing away food was (and sometimes still is) a hard thing to do, being brought up as a clean-plate club member.

I have a really hard time throwing away food. I don't know why. It's not like I need it or anything, so even if I ate it, it would still go to waste, but putting it in the trash seems so wrong somehow. I always feel better afterwards though. -- PL (320/291/170) (First mini-goal: 299 Reached! 08/26/04) (Second mini-goal: 279) --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
