Lend Me Some Sugar, I Am Your Neighbor

Thanks to everyone here in fatblogtown who have welcomed me to the neighborhood! I appreciate all my good neighbors out there who came to visit and say hello. It feels good to know I am not alone when it comes to losing the weight. I promise to be a good neighbor to you all. I’ll take my lights down after Christmas, bring my trashcans in after garbage day, no loud parties, update regularly, and if my dog poops in your yard, I’ll totally clean it up. Also, if you ever need to borrow some sugar, know that I’ll always have a cup of non-caloric, non-carb sweetener just for you. I’ll also make sure I pop by to visit you because that’s what good neighbors do!

So both Denise and Silverella made some good points in their comments. Learning portion control really requires learning how to eat altogether. My eating habits right now really are atrocious and I know that I need to work on them. Years of working crazy hours, going to school full time and yo-yo dieting have left me with some bad habits. I often eat standing up. I usually eat meals quickly, while working/surfing the net/talking on the phone/driving (Not all at the same time). If I’m not performing this juggling act then I’m sitting on the couch mindlessly flipping channels/stuffing my mouth. Either way, I’m not focusing on my food and my level of fullness. Tomorrow I’m going to try and change this. I’ll let you know how it goes!
