So I have been doing very well with this weight loss approach ("the eating only till I get full" approach). Yesterday my husband and I ate lunch at a Chinese cafe with friends. I ate about a third of my broccoli beef and rice meal, and then I was full. The rest went home with me and will be eaten in the next day or two. I'm so looking forward to those delicious leftovers. Yes. That is working out fine and is not hard at all.
Well, last night my husband and I were watching a movie, and he said, "Would you like some popcorn?" We love to make popcorn. We have an old, old popcorn maker that we bought at a thrift store for $5, and we are getting more than our money's worth from it. We enjoy the popcorn from it much more that microwave popcorn. The problem? I have no stopping place when I eat popcorn. My husband make a lot of popcorn last night and I ate my share and more. I got full and kept on eating simply because there was more popcorn to eat. Needless to say, my weight was not at 'a new low' this morning when I stepped on the scales. :-////
I have always loved popcorn. I have often said, "How much popcorn can/will I eat? However much popcorn there is!" Not great grammar, but you get the idea. I can/will eat it with or without salt, and butter. I can/will eat it air popped or oil popped. I can/will eat it microwaved or popped in our wonderful old popper.
Yep. I must admit it. Popcorn is a problem for me. I asked my husband to please make half as much popcorn the next time. I think that will be the best solution for me. If there is only a small amount of popcorn available, then I will only be able to eat a small amount! Right? See, problem solved. Unless I decide to make a second 'batch'. ;-/
