Love everything about eating, from preparing a delicious meal for a crowd to socializing. Wish it were healthy and cool to be 20-30 pounds overweight!

When I am working, I make a point of having something that tastes really good for lunch. It makes my stomach happy. And I only get a half hour so I can have a happy stomach without stuffing myself.

Same OP. I love food! I also am an emotional eater (or so I thought until I read a NYT article this morning saying some people are more prone to “food noise” and the Ozempic eliminates it!).

I'm an emotional/stress eater...yep I'm constantly grazing.

I am perpetually trying to lose weight and try to remind myself I need a lot less food to be sated than I think, and often when I eat as much as my eyes want, I feel kind of feel gross and tired.

If I let my stomach get actually hungry and then eat enough to quell the hunger, I eat much less, though plenty for health. So in your example, I could either eat a bowl of tater tots with each meal and feel bloated and tired and sluggish, or I could wait until my body gets hungry, eat something small yet healthy PLUS two or three tater tots for the taste, and keep going.

So do I.
I used to eat a super variety of foods until I started experiencing reactions. Turned out I developed allergies to gluten, dairy, and soy. The gourmet in me created delicious adaptive dishes.

I agree

Just eat 10 small meals a day ! Who says it has to be 3?

With you on the tots 🍻

I wish I could eat 10 meals a day

I am
always hungry. Esp for tater tots.
