I have a strange, or at least it feels strange to me even though I am the one doing it, weight change behavior...I buy any of the junk stuff I want...I bake any of the sweets 'n stuff I get into my head to bake...I have stuff in the house, sweet and savory...if I Don't buy it, or order it at a restaurant, or bake/make it I will eat whatever I have and get more...for me, I can have it around, I can make it and not even take a bite...two weekends ago I was grumpy and was going down to get some carrots...and, I bought a pie, a good handmade pie they sell here, that was sunday...on wednesday I gave it to my Great Pal from across the street...not a bite was gone...

I am also good at taking one bite of something, and throwing the rest away...
I clean out the cupboards often and make bags of 'treats' which I then leave at places where folks who might enjoy some treats hang out...I get what I need from getting it, and someone else can have the final enjoyment from it...

I admit it's not the most economical way to change what I eat, or maybe even a way that makes sense to anyone but me, but it does work...same at a restaurant...I never, ever finish what I order...the more food that is on the plate, the less of it I will tend to eat...I don't ever take home food from a restaurant...

I am kind of interested in Jo's friend's eating plan...I am going to actually print it out and think it through...I like the whole thing of having stuff to chew on, a lot, and it sounds like there are a good bit of options included in the plan...

the happier I am the lighter I become...
