just a funny story

We went out with a friend of my bf yesterday who has already lost 40pds - he is a tall bloke and can carry weight very well. Throughout the meal he kept saying how he loved food and would start fresh after the new year. Stuffed I barely could drink a diet coke whilst he wanted a hot dog! We went to the movies where he got a box of pop corn and more sweets, telling me to have some cuz I could start my diet tomorrow. The thing is that I never truly stopped! I was struck by the fact that although he was physically hungry, he could gorge on mentally for hours on end. I have often looked at why I am wanting to eat and have found that really i don't want the food cuz I am hungry, but out of habit. I was happy to find that I refused the popcorn and dinner when we returned last night. It is well over 16 hrs since we had lunch (a normal size one) and I am just now getting hungry and looking forward to a bowl of cereal. Just a little food for thought ladies. Also was a bit chuffed with myself for not over eating as this chap had. I can see what my bf was seeing so often with a little contempt as I had it as well...

Well done Monet!


It is so easy (especially when with someone who is 'gorging') to keep on going.....so well done on turning down the popcorn.......and eating when you were actually hungry. Good self control to start the year off :-)

Congrats on turning down the popcorn! You're right, it's so easy to mindlessly eat, especially when you're with someone else who is mindlessly eating!
