Hey everybody!!!! Trying to catch up on the threads, boy this is starting to take off!!!! Great to see others like us here to talk about their behaviors and advice from those who are recovering over eaters.
I can say I exhaust most of my mental processes when it comes to food. I obsess even if I am working hard towards the Atkins lifestyle with what meat can be jazzed up or how a tasty veggie would be. I do not think of myself as over weight as I am in my before picture. It is when I see the picture the depression sinks in. "Man.... how could I be that freakin huge. I am surprised to fit through the door with that frame." Ergo I am on the Atkins lifestyle and looking to curb the amounts and binges it took to reach such lofty proportions.
So anyway I will join the no bingers challenge for a week!!! I started it off great too. Today I took the kids to the beach for the day along Lake Erie. We had a blast frolicing around, burying each other, swimming getting all tanned up for the work week ect. (And no I did not don a speedo, that will take a lil bit). In the evening we stopped at a Golden Coral buffet place to eat. They serve up enough good lowcarb food to keep me satisfied. I had a plate of sirloin steak about eight ounces worth, a salad with spinach leaves, egg,bacon, ham, and blue cheese. The amount which to fill the rest of the plate with the steak. I ordered water cause the beach sort of dehydrated me and it sounded great. I got another plate with the same amount and I only ate a couple of bites!!!! I was thinking about what we were chatting about here and realized I was full and left it. Didn't continue to pick or nothing. Woohoo!!! That I think was the first time I have ever done that without feeling sick or something. A girl I was with and the kids didn't really get my excitment, but heck I don't care it felt good.
The "get your dollar amount's worth" did play a part, but my children and wife ate very well. Thankfully they don't share the same thing that their dad shares.
So anyway I am off to this challenge and want to extend it out for those on the challenge to also dare: To also trying portioning down their usual amounts till they are full and stopping there. As my son quotes Bob the builder, "Can we do it..... Yes We Can!!!!!"
