PORTION CONTROL

Brilliant news on the healthy eating front(well for me anyway).
I have pretty much eaten a Weight Watchers diet for the last 5 years and I have lost about 4 stone but I have always had a problem with portion control, which in plain English means that I eat too much. So I have tried to adopt the Buddhist ideal of eating until satisfied but not until I feel stuffed. I take my medication first thing with toast and juice and then I eat three medium bowl sized meals a day, an amount I once saw a Buddhist nun describe as adequate and it is. I also snacked twice yesterday on raw carrots and mushrooms.Snacking is also my downfall but I do love carrots and mushrooms and tomatoes.Anastasia bought me new scales as a present and they have accurately(my last scales were rubbish) told me that I have lost 2 1/2 pounds. I am thrilled, thank you Anastasia.

I did something similar. The premise was that you eat WHEN you feel physical hunger and then only until you are satisfied and not stuffed.

I lost about 30 pounds (US) and got pregnant.

It was the only thing that ever worked for me and I ate whatever I wanted.

Glad to hear you had success!

An Irish Blessing

(A Blessing from St. Patrick)
May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back,

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

May the rains fall soft upon your fields,

And, until we meet again,

May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
