Sorry about the typo in the title.... This= THIN.....

I remember early on as a bandster ....during one of my monthly Dr appointments I asked my Dr... will I have to watch my calories after I reach my goal or will the band just let me know? He said... a little of both but he said I need to think like a thin person. Those were foreign words to me having been overweight for most of my life ...except for that few minutes in the 90s... I really had to put my mind to it and repattern my thinking processes.

Fat people think...

• I have already had 3 Cookies... whats a few more?
  
• Why do they make chairs so small?
  
• Super sizing is more economical so it makes sense...
  
• Buffetts have such a nice selection.
  
• I need or deserve this "cake, candy, 2nd helping...pick something"... I will diet tomorrow....
  
• Fat people eat mindlessly
  

Living like a thin person means thinking about food and eating in a different way. My Dr said even as you are losing... if you starting thinking like a thin person it is preparing you for when you reach your goal. some examples are:

• Are you hungry or satisfied?
  
• Do you like a particular food or not?
  
• If I eat this cake now what am I going to give up later?
  
• I over did it yesterday so I need to watch it today....
  
• Really pay attention to what you're eating. If you do, one scoop of ice cream should satisfy you as much as an entire pint.
  

So I wrestle with it daily but was wondering how...even if you arent there yet you are thinking like a thin person?

OOOO I'ma scared s---less lol

Excellent post!!

I find myself modeling my healthy, thin, 10 year old son (yes the little guy in my avatar picture).

I can make his favorite meal in the entire world, and if he's no longer hungry, he's done eating. It doesn't matter if 3/4 of it is still on his plate, either. The same thing goes with deserts. I can give him a piece of cake and most of the time he doesn't finish it because he's no longer hungry.

I watch him and think... I'm so thankful he didn't get my food issues, and now I'm trying model after him.

okkkkkkkk
