I would have throat punched him. Just saying.

I'm sorry you endured that kind of crap, too. Glad those days are over!

Sorry ladies, I have gone thru some sort of similar experiences... but here we are, shifting things! Some people don´t realize how much overweight they carry that is not particularly physical but more in the ranges of human stupidity... and that weighs a hell of a lot and there are no diets for it...1 -

This is so open. I love it when people can bring out potential causes of overeating (i.e. abuse and whatnot). It is actually healing.1

I have to be real with myself. I love a good hamburger, and I want to have them. I am not going to be owned.0 -
I do wonder about totally eating by feel though. If that worked without any pre-deternined diet schedule, none of us would have gotten fat. For about the 1st 33-yrs of my life, that worked for me and I ate all I wanted, what I wanted, when I wanted and I didn't gain weight much (was about 160-lbs at age 25, 180 at ages 27-33 or so and then started gaining after that). I even force fed-myself to try to gain weight when I was lower than 160 (16-yr old at 145 at my same height as I'm at now). At age 33 I went back to grad school and stayed up late everynight doing homework and usually ate chips and salsa and ice-cream to keep me going. That was the beginning of my bad weight gain!
When I was young of course I was taught to "clean your plate young man". Most of my adult life I ate for pleasure, I gorged. Fullness was an annoyance, something to ignore until the point where you could no longer ignore it. So basically I was too frequently over-eating, the wrong foods. The recipe for steady weight gain.I do wonder about totally eating by feel though. If that worked without any pre-deternined diet schedule, none of us would have gotten fat.

I have never felt guilty about eating or being full (that may not be a good thing but I've never been morbidly obese and didn't get fat tell later in life). If I only wanted to eat a little, I would probably force myself to eat more cause I know the next day I will probably blow it and be very hungry then If I don't eat more. I've always eaten as I pleased in the evenings while on this diet (21:3 for me) and that has worked as long as I'm doing the 21-hr fast for at least 3 or more days a week. I don't eat tell I'm going to burst and my servings are definitely less than pre-OMAD. Now I may have a little bit of ice cream (small bowl) and that is all I want. Before I wanted two big bowls and maybe even three sometimes so my behavior has changed a lot also. If it is a Holiday, I will eat tell I almost pop if I want to! I'm not going to worry about it.0 -

I'm sorry, Sammy, but the way you put that "my dinner... and the aftermath", cracked me up! The way I see it, had that little square thingy not been on your plate, both burgers would've fit on it, and a lot more fries as well, hence, one plate! Lol1

Love the colorful tally board.0 -

Love the colorful tally board.
Thank you! This is my desk reminder. That way I can look at it throughout the day. Especially since my office provides snacks, and provide lunches once a week, and breakfast every Friday.
I must have something to remind me. It is getting easier.0 -

Fantastic progress so far, Sammy! I love your desk chart, what a great idea.1
