Is it just me, or do you find that since you started dieting, the amount of food you can eat in one meal, is a LOT smaller than before? I mean, I start feeling bloated and nauseous if I try to eat too much. It's so weird.

    I've definitely noticed that too! I went to Mongolian BBQ with a friend and I used to be able to polish off 3 bowls easily..and yesterday, I could BARELY finish 2!!! Honestly, I think I would have been perfect with just 1, but it tasted SOOO good!! :)

    Yes, I agree. We ordered pizza yesterday, and previously I would have been able to eat 4 pieces no problem. And yesterday, I had 2 and was completely satisfied!

    MMMmmm! I love Mongolian BBQ! It is sooo good that I get stuffed trying to finish an over stuffed small bowl but I love the flavor soo much I don't care... dangerous. (by the way I used to eat a medium now I am satisfied with 3/4 of a small bowl)

    I used to eat Mongolian BBQ when I lived in NJ ALL the time. It was walking distance from my college campus. Soooooo yummy.

    ohhh yes:embarassed:

    When I first started this weight loss thing, I set down and figured out what and how much I was eating....turns out I was eating a total of 3500 CAL a day:embarassed: :embarassed: :embarassed: :embarassed: :embarassed: ....no wonder I was over weight.

    But here is the thing. I only ate 3 meals a day and I was eating foos that were good for me...just too much.

    I didnt understand portions and how to eat corectly until i joined a weight loss class recently. Thanks to some SMART people there and on this site I am learning more everyday and the weight is coming off. SLOWLY.:grumble:

    Now I am down to 1400-1500 cal a day and I dont get hungry at all. Sometimes I even have to make myself eat. :smile:
