This little tidbit from Calorie Count today:
Stop eating when hunger is gone but before you feel full, even if there�s food left. Remember, eating the right amount of food isn�t about being good, it�s about feeling good.
I have trouble with the first part of that statement--as in, I know it's a good idea, but I can't imagine myself really ever doing it as a habit. But I love the second part of the statement that I put in bold--maybe someday I'll realize that I DO feel better if I eat less. It's hard for me to believe--but I have known people who actually dislike a feeling of fullness. Weirdos--but I'd love to join their ranks.
To that end I'm again rather proud of myself! Granted, I had no business gobbling parmesan bites on Valentines day, but the day after, yesterday, I was at work with planned points for lunch and a snack. Come lunchtime I realized that I wasn't very hungry and that my snack sounded much more appealing than my lunch (and lunch was good! porkchop, mashed potatoes and green beans). So I ate my 6 point snack INSTEAD of my lunch rather than eating my lunch AND the snack. Dinner was very good too--a stew with one roll and even a piece of Hungry Girl cheesecake for dessert. Today will be just a little tougher because I'm not pre-filled with parmesan bread, but nevertheless it should be a very good on track on point day.
