Hello
I am a lurker coming out of the shadows , and am also a namechanger. I lost 1.5 stone 18 months ago, but then put it all back on. So, for the last 3 weeks, I am back to watching what I eat again and trying to exercise more.
I'm finding it hard to adjust to smaller 'normal' portion sizes. I came across a CD-ROM produced by the Caroline Walker Trust with photos of normal adult portion sizes. It's actually a training resource for people looking after adults with learning disabilities, but shows normal adult portions. As it's only a fiver, I ordered it, as I though it might help me. It has loads of useful ideas and reciped, but I have been looking through the photos and am finding it really depressing to see what amount of stuff I should be eating . I guess I have got so used to eating what I like that the reality of a normal healthy diet seems odd. The meals look delicious, just small. How on earth did I get such a warped view of things?
Has anyone else had this issue? Have you successfully re-programmed your thinking somehow?
Also, how do you cope if the things you can eat that look tasty are not things your kids will eat? I have 3 little ones and don't want to have to prepare 2 separate meals for both lunch and dinner.
