Thanks for the advice, Jake- I think it's a great idea!! So I keep trying to find an effective visual deterrent, and all I can picture is myself, shoveling pepperoni pizza in my mouth. And let me tell you, the visual image is NOT attractive (although the imaginary pizza tastes AWESOME)!!! I think it may help me eat slower, and in turn stop eating sooner.
I guess another thing is I really need to stay "conscious" while I'm eating. I feel like I just black out in this hunger craze and just shovel and shovel, forgetting what's around me. Even worse- when I do find that I am fully aware, I'm telling myself to stop... that I'm full... that I don't need it. Then I keep going.
So here's hoping that I can successfully build awareness while I'm eating and keep in mind the fat girl chowing down on pepperoni pizza.....

I know where you are baby girl. and yes, as a member of Overeaters Anomymous I can tell you that food IS an addiction. Anything we do knowing that it harms us is an addiction. The trouble is we can't live without food. A smoker can not smoke and live. A drinker can not drink and live. We have to eat. That's the hard part.We're good all day, for a week, for a month, then suddenly BAM! no control and a spiral into weeks of unabated eating.... The first and best thing I learned in OA is the buddy system... you have my number. Instead of a third slice, send me a text. I love love love you
