Weight Off
20 Answers
Well cannot believe it - when I get this oul vertigo I suffer so much with nauseous and vomiting I know I am bound to lose weight. HOWEVER when I get better I eat and eat and eat like there's no tomorrow. Deffo felt that I had gained at least 1 stone - ohh la I am 9 lbs down.
My philosophy is - just eat when you are hungry and do without the rest of the day - hope this keeps up - love it when trousers fit nicely and no unsightly bulges but for that another 8-9 lbs to go. But will weigh in another few months again. bye folks

I can't over eat. As soon as I'm full I can't eat another morsel and want all plates cleared away.
My family are pigs.
One time my cousin was here for dinner. He was in the kitchen with me so I served his up first. By the time I'd plated the other meals and took them through...he'd finished.

My problem is I am always hungry, and when I eat I really know how to put it away. I seem to lack that "turn off when full" switch, I will eat until I burst! I am fortunate in as much as I don't put weight on easily, Ok. I am a couple stone overweight and I am very aware that my metabolism will be slowing down now at 58 so I need to start being a little more careful, especially with all the heart disease in my family. I have also cut my portion size in half since being with Carakeel, or should I say.... she has cut my portion size in half!!
If I ate strictly when I was hungry I'd graze all day and put on loads of weight.
I think different strategies suit different people. I am trying (and failing) to avoid snacking. Meals take a while anyway so it's not unusual, like last night, that I put something on to cook then find I succumb to a biscuit to keep me going; because I started cooking when I felt I needed something.

I'd suspect that rather than feeling full quicker if you eat slowly, it may be a case of having giving your body time to react and feel sufficiently full before you have finished all the food on your plate.
(Of course you can't waste all that food you cooked so that has to be eaten too anyway, and there is also that plum pud steaming on the stove that you'll now have to eat rather than waste.)

OG, //Self denial/torment is not the way to succeed at weight loss IMO.//
That’s exactly it. Self-denial. If people didn’t cling to their love of food, there would be no denial. They would eat only because they’re hungry. Overweight people love food - and they're always the people who know everything there is to know about diets.

I'm in the "love food...live to eat " category. Left to my own devices,I could eat way too much of certain foods. But I discovered that cutting out all the nasty processed carbs that I was addicted to,worked. So I still eat lovely food...even butter and cream...but I keep the weight off. I suppose that what you learn to live without depends on how much you want to be slim and/or healthy. It's no good complaining that you can't lose weight if you still eat those foods that cause you discomfort.
