Well, I have made an interesting discovery in the past few weeks. There is a difference between wanting to eat and being hungry. Yes I know all most of you are thinking, "duh," but I think I'm just beginning to really get it. For example last night I ate dinner then went down in my room to watch tv and it wasn't long before I thought to myself there were Christmas candies upstairs. So I grabbed a handful and ate them. As I was eating them I was uncomfortable even though they were small, I was so overly full. At that moment I thought I didn't really want those candies I just wanted to eat. Have you ever been really full but wanted to keep eating just to chew?
So there you go my amazing discovery. From now on I'm going to really think about when and why I'm eating. Oh and for those of you that have a band how have you gotten over the desire or drive to eat alot of food in one sitting and not just be satisfied with a small amount. It is such a strange feeling to think you want to finish something even though your full.

It is tricky and I still haven't figured out how to have enough control over myself to not do it. On rare occasions I can stop myself and think, "I don't really want this." Usually it is already in my stomach before the thought comes though.
I struggle with this myself, every dang day.
I don't have any solutions either. But it's comforting to know I'm not the only one.
Yep. Tricky is an understatement.
What does it say for me when the first thing I think is, "Yum, that looks like good food!"
Sigh. I'll figure it all out someday! :)
