re: #219 darthstar

I still have my moments. My problem is I’m a grazer. I’ll grab a nibble here and there over an hour or two and end up eating more than if I’d just grabbed a plate and stayed away from the kitchen after I finished eating.

I’ve discovered I have will power, but it’s like an on/of switch, not a rheostat. If I am not rigid about it, I’ll break down completely. I can’t take just one snickers bar from the bowl, I take 4. I can’t take two slices of pizza and a salad, I’ll go back for 3 more slices. I have to carry my lunch because if I go out, I’ll get 700 - 1500 calories.

BUT, knowing that, I now know how not to make a pig of myself!
