I am such a FAST eater
I wish I could slow down, then maybe my stomach would know it was full. I know all the things you are supposed to do...put your fork down, chew a jillion times, take a drink of water between each bite....tried em all before.

oatmeal
it is amazing what a HUGE bowl of oatmeal you can eat in the morning for only 150 calories. I chop an apple and cook in mine, with just a bit of cinnamon, and then pour a bit of torani caramel flavoring syrup over it(sugar free) and it makes it really really yummy without adding any extra calories. 200 calories, for a huge…

Every thing in moderation...right??
I know that there should be nothing off limits...just in moderation. And....my initial thought was that during the week, I would adhere to the stricter part of eating what I should, and maybe be a little more leniant with my self over the weekend, but not go crazy overboard or anything....what are the thoughts on that?…
