My goal through this entire process is to learn to live with all foods in moderation. I just watched my 13 year old daughter (who is the perfect size for her age) eat a hand full of plain chips and just stop. She didn't have to eat the entire bag, like I used to. If anything, this is my wish.

I totally agree with you!

I even wrote a blog entry about this exact topic last summer http://www.lapbandtalk.com/blog/6349/entry-24194-eating-like-a-healthy-person/

Best wishes!

That is so true!!! I have a friend...who is thin/normal. I keep remembering from one time when we were talking. She said she didn't understand how people could eat a whole bag of chips or cookies or.... She said it is meant to be a SNACK and the servicing size says ">>>"...why would people eat more? Hmmm...never dawned on me to eat the serving size. I asked her if it filled her up...she said no...but it's enough. Goes to show how my thinking has been off...

That was perfectly written. Exactly my feelings. I can't wait to get there.

This happened to me tonight out for dinner. My husband and son ate SO MUCH! I told my husband I can't believe how much they ate AND that I used to eat that much too. Now I know exactly what got me to 250 lbs!
