I tend to substitute tea for lunch many days, because I'm not really hungry and I really just want an excuse to sit down and relax (the tea works well for that).<br /><br />Also, Americans have these massive dinner plates...if your stomach is approximately the size of a large grapefruit, how are you supposed to fit a meal that's covering 14" of dinner plate in there? I use dessert-sized plates most of the time, and it really helps put things in perspective.<br /><br />btw those ribs look really good. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-794159345404375538.post-28973622364130056512010-12-02T05:08:39.397-08:002010-12-02T05:08:39.397-08:00So glad you had your epiphany.

I was having back problems (degenerative disc) and had to totally stop working out (except for some physical therapy exercises) for about 4 months. Freaked out about not working out, I watched my portion sizes and ate reasonably heathly foods. To my amazement, I actually lost a couple of pounds (I'm not overweight to begin with). I'm back to working out again but just for 20 minutes a day. I discovered that I don't need to kill myself working out hard because it only made me hungrier and frustrated. Now I'm so much happier.Joni N.noreply@blogger.com
