Well, sometimes I think it is a matter of one unhealthy obsession (weighing) versus another
unhealthy obsession (too much food without knowing)

Tradeoffs

does that mean that too much food WITH knowing is a healthy obsession? Seems to be where I am
falling this week. <sigh>

You got me there. I think that where we now stand/sit (not taking chances, there), WE KNOW. A year
or two or whatever ago, we could "claim" ignorance. Oh, we were eating too much and probably knew it
but we did not know the points/calories and the damage that second glass of orange juice or 1/2 cup
ADDITIONAL of ice cream or 2nd and 3rd cookie did.

This is an interesting thread! Everything is supersized these days so you have to make a
concentrated effort to eat less. Luckily I feel fuller faster than I used to. My mom-in-law gave
me her good china which is over 50 years old. The dinner plates are significantly smaller - about
an inch and a half in diameter less than my everyday plates - just goes to show that we do eat and
expect larger portions in this day and age and as a result the business of weight loss is a multi-
billion dollar industry. BTW - weigh in ritual: birthday suit, use the can, get on the scale
twice! Julie

Oh, very, very true! I do believe I *knew* before I started, but it was easy to ignore the
nutritional data ... or lack of. Portion control was tried ... not well though. Buy those single
serve packages of chips, instead of the large sized bags ... but chow down 2 because they tasted
so darned good. Or sitting with a bag of whatever by my side, instead of portioning into a bowl.
Or what is one more *small* scoop of icecream in the grand scheme of things ... or ... the list
could go on forever. I do find it still happens on occassion - but those occassions are very much
rarer now.

And when I do *know*, I am at least able to move away from it sooner now.

I am probably guilty even now of supersizing my meals. While much of it is healthy, it probably
still stretches the stomach.

BREAK right there - that's where I'm going wrong now with the dried fruit syndrome!!! Got to portion
that stuff rather than bringing the bag to the computer desk. I'm pretty darn good at exercising
control over things such as chips (I do not buy them except very rarely) and nuts and cheese (just
being very cautious there and buying but limited but not as limited as chips).

This is one area where I have become very good, feel more confident stating that I have changed the
habit. I do not put containers of anything multiple serving sized in front of me when I'm
eating/nibbling. Even the meringues go into a bowl, lid back on container and put away. Nuts are
tougher, as are the mini-chocolates in a bowl in the kitchen ... much too easy to grab *just one* as
I'm passing by. THAT I need to get back under control. Cheese has become easier for me, but I admit
to buying the crumbled blue cheese ... both daughter and I adore it. It is awful easy to put 1T onto
a salad ... then think, just a little more won't hurt.
