Too much food.

I watched the last ten minutes of some show about how to be skinny. I have ADD. so I can't watch an hour of some guy going on and on. But the last ten minutes was about everything he had talked about in the show. One point he made was we eat what is given to us not what will make us full. So on a quest to be skinny I figured I would eat what made me full instead of what I was given. I started Monday and cut all meals in half. If I was still hungry I would eat the second half of my meal and if I wasn't I would get a to-go box. It was very hard at first since I have always cleared my plate and then moved on to other peoples until the table was empty of food. It was also hard to see the difference between hungry and habit. But I have not eaten more than half of a meal all week. So that means I have taken in half the calories of the previous week. Not diet just less of the crap I eat.
Example:
At chipolte I usually eat an entire burrito and then help my daughter finish her quesadilla. This week I ate half a burrito and stopped. I was full 10 minutes later and I'm not hungry any sooner than if I was to eat the entire burrito.
So I will not diet any more and I will eat whatever I want. I will on the other hand only eat enough to make me full and not what I'm given. I will continue to report on my progress and welcome all to try this and let me know if it worked for you. You can eat fried chicken every night of the week, you just can't eat the entire chicken.
