Eyes Way To Big Still !

[lisa2job 130]

I am 3 months out and just got back from lunch with a work associate and even though I am 3 months out I still order way to much food...... Or maybe its I cant eat as much so no matter what I order I have to take 3/4 of it to go , which usually ends up getting thrown away since I don't like left overs.....

So for lunch I ordered a" Pho" salad and a fresh spring roll (which was only 2 pieces of shrimp and the rest was vegtables).... after eating the spring roll I was totally full and couldnt even touch my salad and meat , so I got that to go but will probably not eat it for dinner and throw it away. Its so much food it would take me 4 days to eat it all and that would be for every meal....... I love that my stomach is super small and I am loosing weight but I feel guilty like I am always wasting food espcially when I go out. Some places will let you order off the kids menu and other places won't , I found the fast food places that have the dollar menu are ok on portion size but terrible on fat content..... I work in sales and eat out allot since I am on the road driivng all day, sometimes I take my lunch with me but eating in your car when your driving all day isnt really appealing to me and gets very cramped.

thanks for letting me rant...

I am in the car traveling for work a lot too.

I have gone through the McDonald's drive through for their yogurt parfait, which is under 200 calories. I also stop by convenience stores and get a Muscle Milk Light if they have one. As a stand-by, I always keep a few sample Protein powder packets and a mixing cup with the mixing ball in my car. I can stop at the convenience store and get Water and ice, then mix a Protein shake on the go.

You can also carry Ostrim with you in your car. High Protein, low fat, not too many calories.

Don't feel bad, I'm out 3+ YEARS and still my eyes can be bigger then my tummy (literally) I KNOW I can only eat 1 egg, still I make 2. I KNOW I can eat 1 1/2 slices of bacon, still I cook the whole package. I KNOW I can only eat 1 piece of bread, still I toast 2. . . ugh, old habits die hard. . . I just save stuff for later. You should see how funny I look at the buffet! Now there is another story. . . . hahahaha you can just imagine!

I am a visiting nurse and live in my car 4-5 hours a day. I found for Breakfast I have a pure protien RTD can with 23 g of protien and 110 calories before i leave for the day. then ilater I might stop at Dunkin and get a Breakfast wrap with bacon egg and cheese. Absolute perfect size. By about 2 i am ready for something else. I might eat a filet of fish without bread or tarter sauce , or a grill chicken no bread or mayo. I try to get home before that so I can eat something at home like those tiuna salad foil packs. Some days I can eat more than other days, it evens out. I am 2 months out and lost. 32 pounds since surgery and 50 pounds ll together.
