One of the things that I have observed is that I am careful when I eat. It is very important to me to have something to eat in the evening, and so I make sure that I have food left for the evening. I still will occasionally go to the kitchen, but I am aware of it, and when I do I generally change directions to the tea kettle.
I also note that when I am craving food, if I have a bar the craving tends to go away. Driving mom home from the casino I stopped and got her a hamburger, but before I did I ate a bar and I had no desire for the hamburger.
I have no cravings right now for sweets. Maybe when you have just enough calories to survive on your body takes over and craves foods with nutrients rather than - what? Quick energy?
I feel guilty after eating real food. I think I am cheating or something and I worry that I have the calories wrong, or I am eating too much. Even with putting the ingredients into my fitness pal I still worry that I have it wrong.
A single serving of chicken I bought was 6 ounces, I was going to eat it all, but I only ate half. I was full, I ate lots of veggies, and couldn't eat the whole 6 ounces. I was very surprised how much I liked the veggies, steamed with nothing.
Eat your veggies first. I have always eaten in the order of what I don't want to what I want. Sometimes I couldn't eat all of what I wanted, but most of the times it wasn't a issue. Now with the shrinking of the stomach (who said your stomach doesn't shrink?) you really do get overfull.
It is really really hard to find food that does not have some oil in it. I am curious what it will be like with oil? The smell of oil in fast foods doesn't smell that awesome.
I am becoming a bit of a food nazi? Not yet, but it might happen. I found myself telling T to put the damn waffles back. Not pretty.

She did tell me to put the waffles back even though they were purchased to replenish our empty freezer (the old one died & we had to toss everything). T3 also told me to put the bread back. What's the definition of a "food nazi"?
