    It's snowing very lightly here in Northern Minnesota, but the temps have definitely dipped. Not complaining too much - we had a warmer than normal November.

    Where are you? I'm in Northeast Ohio and it's raining, and very cold. The are predicting a change-over to snow later today. I love cold weather, but I'm only a fan of snow when I don't have to shovel it or drive in it! Enjoy the snow if you like it though!

Wednesday, December 02, 2009

this is going to be the hardest part yet But today's goal is to quit when I'm full and not eat until my plate is empty and be miserable....

    Clean Plate Syndrome! ARG I am a chronic sufferer. To help me, I switched to a lunch plate or a saucer as my "dinner" plate. And oddly enough the fit perfectly with proportion and I can fill up my plate and clean it too!

Good Luck! emoticon

    Can we blame this one on our moms who always said "clean your plate."

Not only do I measure my portions, I also use a smaller plate. This has helped me.

    I found that once I started measuring proper portions, it had a profound psychological impact on me. If you measure things out, you should only put on the plate exactly what you need to eat. And you should proceed to clean your plate. When finished, you're mind will tell your stomach "Hey, we ate the exact amount of calories we needed in this meal. We should be comfortable now." And if you're eating 5 to 6 properly portioned meals a day within your calorie target, as well as drinking your water, there is no hungry, and there is no full, only the "zen of satisfied" all the time. This worked for me, even when I brought it all the way down to 1200 calories for 2 weeks. I felt weird, but never hungry...
It's all in the noodle! emoticon

I'm absolutely hopeless

Sunday, November 29, 2009

I can't waste therefore I eat and eat I'm I can't seem to leave one thing on my plate or throw away in the fridge soooo I eat and eat I have been busy finishing all the thanksgiving leftovers just finished a huge plate of turkey gravy sweet potatoes mashed potatoes and topped it off with pie I've been doing this since Thursday not to mention we've gone with the family to 2 movies and I didn't waste on bite of the butter popcorn. I need some serious help As I've said before when I was a child everyone made a HUGE deal about not wasting ( there were many children going without is what they always told me ) also everyone thought that it was wonderful that I could polish off 2 hamburgers in one meal ( they'd say I had an appetite like my dad and I was Daddys girl so I always wanted his approval.) Well now I'm getting bigger my the month nothing in my closet fits I can't stand myself which makes it even worse because food is my comfort.... I'm totally hopeless...

    I agree with the other poster, learn your triggers...you can always be Daddy's girl without eating like him....we all mess up & I've messed up big for long periods of time before--but keep working at it--it does get easier with time. I blew it at Thanksgiving too--I could have done better, but I just let it go....I even blogged today too because I've been working to get re-motivated for December---you can do it if I can....no doubt.....I thought I was hopeless too...but WE are NOT. So what if we stumble often? This is not a race--it's about overall healthy changes...I consider each meal that I eat that is healthy to be it's own personal victory....keep on going...

    You are not hopeless, no one is. Please stop being so hard on yourself and find some positive, encouraging things you can start repeating to yourself-it does work.

I used to think I had no control over my eating and appetite but am now almost down to my goal weight. Learning what caused my eating issues and then coming up for a plan with what to do and what to tell myself when I was in those situations really helped me. I also did hypnosis for weight loss when I noticed it was helping for my Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and that really helped as well. I now don't have any of my old emotional eating issues I did in the past, it is wonderfully liberating.

You can do this!
