The other day I had to pick up our son from my SIL's house. When I got there SIL told me there was some steak for dinner if I was still hungry.
I went up, spoke to the assorted IL's and then went in for some dinner. Cut off a piece of steak, had some pasta salad and regular salad... ate and went back out. SIL had been talking to a pool install guy and came back over. She went inside, came out and asked if I had eaten. I told her more then enough and that it was delicious. She wasn't sure how much since I only had a little bit of the steak.
After I left and was driving home it hit me.. I did have enough to eat, but since I've gotten so accustomed to eating normal portions, that's all I took. I probably had about 4-5oz of steak with garlic and mushroom sauce, the salads and that was that.
It was a fun little ah-ha moment that let me realize that I have gotten portions under control and I am winning this long battle, lol

such a huge step in the whole process. It is so hard to accept your tummy's "I'm full" when your tongue is saying "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM GOOOOOD!"0
