    You need to speak with your husband about not dangling foods that will tempt you right in your face!

    You have to be the boss of the food. I will usually eat very slow and will generally be full when I eat a normal portion.

    Okay, so I did take your advice. My son is moving out in June believe me when I say hooray for my diet. He is 6'4" and has to eat a lot to maintain any meat on his boney frame. My husband was that way until he was in his 40's.

    I asked my husband to please package up the leftovers asap and he is doing ths that for me. AND I drank two glasses of water. It helped a lot .. who knew water could help with the urge to overeat! I had read about it of course, but never tried it really. It works!

    Thanks all! Crisis averted!

    maybe next time have him grill you up some vegies too. I just love grilled ears of corn, eggplant, peppers and onions on a kibob, etc. it makes them taste so delicious. at least most grilled foods have the fat melted off of them.. and the grilled chicken or steak can be put in the fridge for yummy salads for the next few days. I know this wont help you for today but next time try it. Even leftover grilled vegies taste amazing the next day too.

    Put that BBQ genius to work on healthy food! Once the weather gets nice here, almost all of our meals are grilled. We do lean meats (chicken, fish, turkey burgers, chicken sausage, occasionally filet) and veggies on the grill and it's always a treat. Stay away from BBQ sauce by looking for rubs: better flavor without all of the sugar and calories!
