[QUOTE="MrsA2, post: 2410378, member: 521715"] Been there so many times! But the longer it goes on the easier it gets and you find what works for you. What works for me is a supportive other half who lets me have 2 bites of whatever he's having. The first bite satisfies my need for the taste and the second satisfies the craving. In this way I have found I have totally lost my liking for several things, and having just returned home after a week away and a lot of eating out, the first thing I wanted and was desperate for was.... a salad!! While away I had pizza. Hadn't had it for a year, found 3 small slices tasted nice but bloated me and gave me stomach pains. At home I make a low carb base that is tastier and more filling Burger, loads of toppings including sausage and mushrooms. I left the bun totally. Didn't need it. Fish from the chippy. Left 50% of the batter and nicked just 4 chips. Again was full. Didn't need more. Pasta its the sauces that are nice. A bowl of bolognaise without the spaghetti is just as good and filling. Carbonara on cabbage is surprisingly good. Same with curry, its the protein and sauces are tasty, rice and bread bland unnecessary fillers sold us by restaurants to up their profit margins My best motivation is my meter. When I see pizza race me into nerve damage levels its easy to say no the next time. Luckily my meter tells me the occasional small tub of good ice cream doesn't damage me, but cake does, so I choose ice cream instead. I'm not hungry for dessert s any more. Now I'm fat adapted I get full quicker. Honestly, it does get easier. Stick with it. [/QUOTE]
