Guest guest Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 It is hard to know when you're satisfied, especially for a guy like me who enjoys too much the feeling of being over-stuffed and overfull, especially after a big meal on a holiday or something. I like my food comas. And the food coma that you get from gorging yourself on brussels sprouts and spinach isn't quite like the food coma you get from stuffing yourself with turkey or steak. But it's possible. I actually found that it was easier than I supposed I would: simply by paying attention to how my stomach feels, I can tell when I'm feeling satisfied or when I need more food. The problem is my natural tendency to continue eating long after I feel satisfied, and to continue eating until I feel not only full but overstuffed. I can curb this tendency, but it takes effort, and this has been a major part of the trouble I have in losing weight. As time goes on, I'm getting better at it, though. -- Sláinte, S.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 I truthfully don't " GET " core as the foods you're allowed to eat on core are pretty much those I have to choose to stay in points on flex. I just don't see the advantage of core as it's pretty much the same for me, but without a safety net of counting. jpj Re: Re: Core Myths It is hard to know when you're satisfied, especially for a guy like me who enjoys too much the feeling of being over-stuffed and overfull, especially after a big meal on a holiday or something.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 I agree about its being hard to know when you're satisfied, but not (for me) because I don't know when I'm hungry and when I'm full. My problem is that I just enjoy nibbling and munching even when I'm not hungry, just because it tastes good, and sometimes just because it's there and not nailed down. I am getting better about this. Fex tonight I was stringing popcorn for the tree, and in former years I would have sat afterward and eaten the cold leftovers, whether or not I wanted them (no), whether or not they were hot (no) or even salted (no.) Tonight I didn't touch them. I have 2 points left for the day and I'm not spending them on cold oil-popped popcorn. Thank you, Flex -- it's given me a whole different way of looking at eating. Now I need to have a Skinny Cow, TYVM, so see you later. <g> JB > It is hard to know when you're satisfied, especially for a guy like me who > enjoys too much the feeling of being over-stuffed and overfull, especially > after a big meal on a holiday or something.
