  1. I get the impression that that's a foreign concept to some people on this
    forum. Unfortunately (or fortunately :-) I've never had a problem with
    over-eating anything, so I can't relate to someone who has to eat 4 cups of
    potatoes in one sitting.

    You're right Bev. Moderation, not deprivation.

  2. I forgot to add that I can't even imagine eating 4 cups of anything. The
    volume would just be too great. Again, that's probably just me though.

    I am a former binge-eater and bulimic. Low carbing for me, was the
    catalyst to portion control. I am not a very strict low-carber anymore.
    And I do find controlling portions to be much easier. It helps control
    calories, and to boot, I get to eat pretty much anything I want.

    YMMV JMO, interpret accordingly.

    So you've never sat down and had a bag of microwave popcorn? Ever?

    Bev Ann is petite (she said 5' 2.5" and ~110 pounds). Her stomach
    very probably isn't capable of eating the volumes a larger person
    could.

    Take care,

  6. Have only been able to finish about two-thirds of one. I find the snack
    sized bags quite filling.

  7. When I was a teenager, I could eat 2 Big Macs in one sitting (but only the
    burgers, no fries, etc.) but that's the closest I've ever come to being a
    "big eater". :-)
    My typical dinner is about 6 oz. of meat, 3 cups of salad and 1/2 to 3/4
    cup of an LC veggie. I often have trouble finishing it. So I guess I can
    eat 4 cups of food, but it's very light stuff.

    I couldn't possibly eat a whole bag of microwave popcorn by
    myself--and I'm 5'9" and very active!

    Some people find eating large quantities of food at a time to be very
    uncomfortable, and I'm another one of them.

    Unfortunately, I find eating small quantities of food at a time to be
    very uncomfortable. 😉

    Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn
    down the volume on the radio?

  10. Especially things that are so carb-heavy like popcorn or potatoes. I can
    feel myself about to burst just thinking about it. :-(

  11. Were you born this stupid, or were you in an accident?
