No, it's my downfall.

I'm usually good about it. I weigh my food if I'm unsure. But when I have PMS forget it.

I am am very good if it is a dessert.

However, if it has anything to do with potatoes, I am doomed.

No, I haven't been good at it but I'm trying to be more aware. I have a child getting married next year so keeping that in my mind helps because I need to look good in a pretty dress. My DH and I were sick this week with some kind of awful flu that's going around. I didn't eat anything for two days but a couple pieces of toast. We're feeling better but consciously eating light and neither one of us feels like we're starving. He's much better than I am at being disciplined in what he eats/doesn't eat. I'm hoping the mindset of eating lighter sticks around.

Usually I am good at portion control...it does not take much to fill me up and when we go out to eat I often bring 1/2 home with me. To night dh and I ate when we could not eat when we were out for dinner on Thursday.....he had steak, I had chicken. There was plenty to eat, the only thing I added was a salad....dh wanted salad with his meal.

My problem is sweets...I made coffee after dinner and ate 6 cookies...full discosure...they were pretty small, not even the size of an oreo.

Both dh and I maintain our weight, (and have for years, just up and down 5ish pounds) we weigh in once a week just to keep things in check.
