[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another coffee for breakfast person here.  I eat a light lunch around 11-12 (closer to 11am when I work out in the morning).  If I really want to snack during work I eat celery.  For dinner I nibble and have a glass of wine. I feel like I eat whatever I want, but I do eat very small quantities.

I'm 42 now- I realize that my metabolism has slowed and I just can't eat as much anymore, although if I listen to my body I also realize that I don't need as much food.  My parents are in their 70s, and will have a batch of steamed broccoli and call it dinner.  [/quote]

Of course you're thin...you come from a family that views food as fuel instead of one of the true joys in life. Eating strawberries with champagne with a special someone, or having DH make me a new york strip with twice baked potatoes....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.[/quote]

Or enjoying a latte with a fresh croissant and Kerrygold butter in the morning...

I know people like celery girl, and I don't get it. [/quote]

Well...strawberries and champagne sound like a fairly low cal snack to me.  I eat all the things mentioned here...I just give something else up during the day (like breakfast)...or if I have a super good breakfast I have a really low cal lunch.  I actually stay thinnest when one of my meals is delicious and high fat!  I refuse to eat anything if I don't LOVE it...even healthy foods.  That apple not as crisp as I thought it would be...toss it!  That's 80-90 calories saved on something that sucked.  But, if that cheesecake is the best thing I've eaten all year, I'll finish it.  Just make choices that'll make you happy.  [/quote]
