OptomisticGirl Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 I have def noticed that sine I added a salad with my meal every day at lunch that I'm much fuller. My problem is I'll keep eating even AFTER I'm full.. like instead of one serving of something I'll have like three. yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie24 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 yeah - that's something to work on - learning how listen to your body signals - when you are hungry, when you are satisfied, when you are full. stop at satisfied. go brush your teeth and have some mint tea when you are satisfied and that will help you going back for seconds.

OptomisticGirl Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 like this morning. Mom made biscuits and gravy - my favorite food - and normally I have like 5 biscuits. So far I only had two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidehop Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Are you a slow eater or fast? Really helps if you chew at least 30 times or more. I'm guilty of this but when I can actually remind myself I do eat less and be full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptomisticGirl Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hm, I don't remember a time he did... he has taken a few fries before. I'm baby sitting Tyler while mom and my sister are out. He's at that stage now were his little personality is starting to show through.. so cute. He's sitting in his car seat right now kicking, grabbing his toes, twisting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KH26 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 It's a man thing, I'm sure lol. Tom eats sooo much! And by the time I've ate half a place he's going back for seconds. And he's so slim! Like, my dad says if he didn't know better he'd swear he doesn't eat properly lol. I only have to look at something fattening and put on a few pounds Aww how old is Tyler now? So cute!

And then you feel so akward sitting there, trying to enjoy your meal at your own pace, while the other person stares at you bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 I'm the same way.. look at a piece of chocolate and there's the weight! He's almost 8 months old. He's come a long way from the 3 lbs. 15 oz. he was when he was born.. he's right at 20 I believe. He's fighting sleep in his car seat right now but he isn't screaming so that's good! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then you feel so akward sitting there, trying to enjoy your meal at your own pace, while the other person stares at you bored. My best friend - who is a woman - eats like CS does and after about five minutes of being done she's like 'are you almost finished?' 'what's taking so long?' and I just give her a look, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptomisticGirl Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 I do this personally except my wife eats just as fast if not faster than me! I think once you have kids both parties eat fast in order to have a hot meal before the baby starts crying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidehop Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yes indeed Although my daughter is a picker. She rarely eats in one sitting. Frustrating sometimes lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejigsup Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I never ate a hot meal until my son was over six months old. My ex would scream at me to get dinner on the table at a certain time. When dinner was served, my son would start to cry and demand his "dinner" (I breast fed only until he was 4 months). I would feed him and by the time I was ready to eat, the food was cold and mostly gone. My ex was 6'3" and 190 lbs., he was thin and he ate like a horse. There were nights I didn't get dinner at all because he said it was the woman's job to clean up and by the time I did that, my son was hungry again and it was time for us all to go to bed. Is it any wonder I never remarried? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie24 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 that sounds like a nightmare. i hear stories like that, and i am not all that interested in marrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejigsup Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 My very best friend had what I considered the only happy marriage I ever knew about. She came down from Alaska this month and told me that she has been faking happy for over 10 years. They are seriously thinking about divorce and she says that marriage is a jail term and she wants it over with! She is a devout Chrisian and she is saying the divorce is definitely an option and that she will never remarry. Sorry all you engaged gals, but many marriages are no fun at all for the woman.

OptomisticGirl Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 That's so sad thejigisup. My best friends marriage ended because of her husband - nor as bad as yours - abs she says she will never remarry but I know that drive in her to have a complete family is too strong for hee to never want to do it again. It may take many years but I know she will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 See for me its not the institue of marriage that goes wrong, its the people - or person - involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherryberrypie Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Jig that is the saddest thing I've ever heard! What an #$%!! I agree, it's not marriage, it's the people. Putting a ring on someone's finger doesn't cause them to become a jerk, it's who they were underneath all along, but with time it came out.

thejigsup Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 It's marriage. I have never seen a happy marriage. It's not sad. I am a really happy single person. You don't need to believe in marriage to be happy. Now if I got married, then I would be sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
