Guest guest Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Welcome , Its nice to hear from a long time lurker. Sounds like you are aware of what's happening which is always a good place to start from. Your post strikes memories for me of how I could eat and not even have it 'register' at all. I'm glad that you choose to post when you couldn't find immediate ears to listen. That's what I so love about online support - its 24/7 as well as so many different people for sounding off of.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hi, . Congratulations on your successes with the fajitas and chips (some of my favorite restaurant foods that I've eaten mindlessly in the past). You recognized that you didn't really need a loaf and a half of sweet quick bread and I'm sure you can move past it. Keep up the good work!

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Its been a while since we (me and dear hubby) went to a Mexican restaurant to eat and yep, chips and salsa usually got gobbled up long before the meal arrived. The last time we went I remember remarking how we did the chip routine and how I realized that this was mainly because 1) we were so hungry and 2) when my appetite is somewhat satisfied, I really don't TASTE the meal as much. Laying off the chips let me really taste the meal and guess what - its wasn't all that wonderful either. I make better Mexican food at home and we both agreed we preferred it over the soupy refried beans and entrees buried in (cheap) cheese. Katcha IEing since March 2007 > > Hi, .
