This has been one of my biggest challenges too. If I eat non-processed foods with the right amounts of fiber, protein and fat, it’s surprising how little I need to get by.
Another appetite killer for me is giving my undivided attention to the food. If I read, watch tv, drive (I know), etc. I will eat much more than if I just sit down and eat. I wonder if that is true for some of the kids who can go play or whatever as soon as they are “finished.”
I just had all my teeth pulled Monday morning, and my mouth is full of stitches.
Yesterday I had some ice cream, this morning I had a small bowl of cottage cheese.
I don't feel hungry, and If I did, that would be too bad because I can't eat much of anything unless it is the consistency of yogurt.
Funny how I'm not 'starving' to death.
