Probably the two biggest differences between me and my heavier friends (and I've seen this my whole life) is that I do not eat food when I am upset, or bored etc. I am not a comfort or stress eater at all.

The second is that I feel full pretty easily. It is rare for me to finish anything. I never eat the whole meal, or dessert at a restaurant, and no mater how much people tell me I'm wasting food, I just will not eat past the point that I feel full. And I think I feel full earlier than other people do.

I'm a pp and i'm the same. I eat exactly what I feel like eating when I feel like it but stop when I'm full.  For example I bought a large bar of lindy chocolate to have at lunch at work on Friday. I ate half of it then. Then today I ate another few squares until id eaten enough. It's back in the work fridge now waiting until I crave chocolate again later in the week. A lot of my overweight friends would have eaten the whole thing in one sitting even if they felt completely stuffed.[/quote]

totally agree with the above. i have a thin friend who eats anything she wants, but she wants more healthy food and never finishes everything on her plate no matter how good it tastes. She just stops when she is done. On the other hand, I am someone who will eat past feeling full if the food tastes good. [/quote]

I'm the pp above. Why don't you give yourself permission to eat whatever you want when you want it? Then you won't have to stuff yourself until you burst on the food you love as you can have it again next time you're hungry. That's what I do.[/quote]

New PP but this doesn't work for me because what I want is crap. What I want to eat is sugar, and lots of it. Obviously I can't do this. I always think that people who say "I eat whatever I want" must naturally want healthy things and/or never eat past the point of satiety just because it tastes good. Neither is the case for me. If I could eat heavy Indian food every day without gaining weight, I would. If I could eat a giant bar of chocolate every day without gaining weight, I would. I can't do these things so I limit my consumption but it is always something I think about, it's not natural. I often find it easier not to eat chocolate at all than to limit myself to a small piece.

i am the PP who mentioned my friend who eats what she wants and stops when full and I could have written every single word you just wrote right down to the heavy Indian food:)  i am not someone who ever says "oh this is so rich I can only eat a few bites." Nope, instead I say this is so rich I could eat 4 servings.

I too am a abstainer versus a moderator. I am much better off not eating any dessert than to eat a little each day. That just doesn't work for me.

I have gotten better over the years and work on being mindful and reminding myself that this is not the last piece of cake I will ever see, but still it is a battle to not overeat. [/quote]
