Surgically happy.
I am a horribly fast eater usually, and I think it leaves me so unsatisfied that I will want to eat more when I'm already full. It could be a sizeable part of some of my bingeing. Last weekend I binged quite terribly (though didn't put an ounce on, where I'd normally gain several pounds!).
Last couple of days in particular, I have really savoured my dinners, and snacks, and it has really worked. Dinner has gone cold but I've finished completely happy with what I've had. No mean feat given there has been less than 500 cals per dinner.
I have treats every day, at the moment a cornetto and a pack of crisps (270 cals between them) and made them last. Normally they'd just make me want more.
Most days I have been 1500 to 1600 cals, and not felt even slightly deprived. Probably sounds like a lot to you ladies but I'm a very stocky bloke and am burning off 700+ cals at the gym up to 4 times a week too.
How do you tend to eat? How does it affect your eating patterns?
