AggiePaige 8 Posted October 20, 2012 I never realized I was a member of this club until I was banded. At first, I would really push the limits of my band because I didn't want to "waste" food, resulting in PB's and hours of discomfort and pain. Now, I am aware of every bite and I use a small plate to avoid the "waste" guilt. What techniques do you use to stay out of this club? 2 JerseyShoreDisneyDiva and Msdropinoff reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fericito 138 Posted October 20, 2012 Like you mentioned I use little plates. When I'm serving dinner for the family I use tea plates lol so I can finish everything on my plate and not get stuffed or uncomfortable. It's all about what I can "see" for me - out of sight, out of mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marfar7 1,533 Posted October 20, 2012 I really don't care if I waste food. My husband is embarrassed when we go out to eat and I leave 3/4 of my plate. If it's eggs or something like that, I don't bother taking them home cuz they taste terrible reheated. For the last 3 yrs, my eyes are bigger than my tummy and I take too much. Usually, unless it's carbs, my husband will finish off my plate (he doesn't do carbs) - and it's usually the meat I leave anyway. You should see all the food that I toss from my frig every week. I have a tinge of feeling bad about that, I guess. I could feed a whole family with my leftovers that never get eaten. I waste alot of $ on food. I still LOVE food, I just can't eat as much as I used to. Marci Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
