The ENTIRE bagel???? Like, SERIOUSLY?!

Slider foods seem to go right through us and don’t fill us up. For me it’s things like chips and popcorn I could seemingly eat an entire bowl without getting full. I didn’t realize that bread would be a slider food for anyone since bread actually sits so heavy for many people (it’s just normal for me) but we are all different I guess??

I think certain breads are like slider foods like the refined and highly processed ones since they have been processed so much. Bread that is high in Fiber and whole grains are far more filling vs white bread. But yeah, definitely not like Cookies, chips, ice cream and cake though. Those are definitely slider foods.

Ok, you guys are great. This was all good perspective. I really do need to get into better habits, or else I'll find myself back to my old ways... ***siiiigh**** no accounting for what's going in, major grazing, etc. etc.

Thank you for the encouragement!

Don't feel to bad we all struggle with our old habits but we all seem to have a better awareness of them now ( sometimes) 😄

I'd love to hear: Do you prepare the size portion you want to eat based on its size and then go no further?

Yes, actually. Even Snacks. I measure/weight them out and if an hour later, I am truly hungry again, I will eat something else. Never from the package, and if it's something I know I shouldn't eat all of, I take only the portion I am ok with eating (for instance, I occasionally will get a Breakfast sandwich and will either throw away the top piece of bread and eat it open-faced or cut it in half.)

You have to be honest with yourself that if portion sizes are an issue for you, you have to take steps to make eating too much not an option.
