Supper??? NO thanks I am full.

I know its not a good idea to skip meals but I honestly am still full from lunch.

(Lunch was with my parents and I didn't want to let on to my dad that I was dieting, he usually has a sarcastic remark about it and I didn't feel like listening to it today, and since he was paying I had to make sure I "got my money's worth" at lunch so I definitely ate more than I wanted (food and family issues...gotta love um') an that is probably why I still feel really full now!

For lunch I ate 6 pieces of sushi and 5 fairly large mussels, a bowl of won ton soup (I could have stopped there and felt content, but my dad would have grumbled) so I went back up and got 4 deep fried shrimp about 1/4 cup of rice (if that) 2 spring rolls and 2 chicken wings... I let that settle for a while as my dad continued to fill plate after plate, he asked if I was going to have dessert. I didn't want to disappoint so I had a 1/4 of a Belgian type waffle with strawberries and cream on it.

This probably explains more about my relationship with food than I care to admit.

On one hand I do want to eat what's good for me, I do want to stop when I am full.

On the other hand, I have been taught not to waste food, that buffets are good because you can keep eating and eating and eating and therefore get "value" for your money, I have been told to eat up your meat, you can get bread any time...and many other things that tie food into being valuable and getting what something is worth and therefore me being valuable as a person and being worth something if I eat a lot of food.

I am sure this isn't the message my parents intended for me. I understand that my dad's opinions in particular, come from a place inside of him that he feels was deemed as valuable as a child.

Back to what I was talking about the PGX!

Well when hubby came home, I wasn't really hungry and of course he was starving, He couldn't put his finger on exactly what he felt like eating, and the kids were fainting from hunger....OK so they weren't but they can be pretty dramatic when they are hungry though. We decided to go out to eat.

I orderd a small spinach salad and I didn't take any PGX because I still felt full from lunch. I was able to finish it, and it was good. It certainly was enough to eat though.

To recap.
