crosswind 134 Posted May 22, 2011 I'm in a nice hotel and on vacation. I've been going out to eat for every meal and living it up a little, but the sleeve is still working and I'm not overeating at all. A little demonstration of how this works: Breakfast: Ordered: cheese and mushroom omelet and an english muffin: Ate four bites of omelet and one bite of english muffin Water Walk around museum, someone orders fried clam strips, I have one. More water, Sobe LIfewater. When we get back to the room I have a Protein wafer bar. More water. Two ounces of cheese and four crackers. Dinner: Hot tea Ordered: Outrageous appetizer, specialty small plate entree, flourless chocolate cake. Ate: One bite of appetizer 1/2 small entree 1 bite of flourless chocolate cake back at the hotel, somebody orders nachos, I have a little more of that later, maybe six loaded chips. So I got through the day fine, had fun, ate what was there, and probably ate about 900 calories. I'm not sick, my stomach doesn't feel overstuffed, I had plenty of energy. Can you believe anyone could be served a piece of flourless chocolate cake and eat ONE bite? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted May 22, 2011 Can you believe anyone could be served a piece of flourless chocolate cake and eat ONE bite? I know I could not. One bite and it would be all over. I would eat it til I got sick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know, I'm not really "working" anything. This is easy. What's weird is watching *everybody else* and thinking good lord, where are you putting all that?
