Food??
Thank you all for your advice to my previous thread and I will certainly try to pinpoint (if possible) as to my triggers. Just to add to it maybe you can help me figure this out. First of all, the time was not a factor. The dinner was buffet so I kept as eye on the time. Lots easier when you are not waiting on service. I wish it was that simple because that would be very easy to fix. Anyway, this is what I passed on and am very proud of myself!!! Warm buns passed around the table, wine on the table, open bar, perogies, garlic roast potatoes, potato salad, mac salad, coleslaw, fruit salad cold cuts and fresh fruit (higher carb ones). Instead, I chose, lots of lettuce salad with dressing, broccoli salad, fresh cucumbers, steamed broc and caul, 6-7 oz pork loin. then I had a slice of cheesecake, 3T of hubby's trifle and 3T of apple pie. I felt really satisfied and full when the meal was done. Including the options i passed would not have made a difference in fullness because i would have ate them as well as all that dessert just adding more calories. The next day was really awful for hunger and I'm sure its the sugar in the desserts. Darn!!!!! I stayed on my plan but it was so hard. All I thought about was grabbing something to eat to stop the pangs. Had lots of water but that didnt do it. By lunch time I had salad with 5 sausages (a little too much but better than what was in my head) and that held me till supper. I didnt think it would but I felt good. No time for a longer lunch (to cook veg) and then supper wasnt until 10pm! We were out and I couldnt get a meal till then and wanted to follow plan not have the junk around me. No dessert though and in the morning, felt no gnawing in my guts. PLEASE DONT LET IT BE THE DESSERTS. I LOVE THEM AND LOOK At THEM FIRST BEFORE MY DINNER. Anyway, thank you all for reading my very long post and I am so happy to have this forum for support and expertise.
