I just ate in small portions.

Have many female coworkers telling me I'm too thin, and then turning their heads to say: I hope you dont get the pounds back.... I just hate when that happens.

Re: Portion Control?

The band really does it for me on anything normal: bread rice, pasta and potatoes, I can eat less than half a handful of each so I don't bother at all with them. I can eat aout a haldful of pulses, beans, etc, but I can't manage quorn. Raw veggies, I can eat some but they fill me up very quickly unless I eat them very very slowly, likewise fruit. Soya yoghurts, I can eat a normal portion (1 pot) but I can eat as much chocolate or biscuits as I like - so I am very grateful that they aren't the things that float my boat. Mind you, having acheived a normal BMI and a normal body, nothing would persuade me that I should go back to how I used to look. There is nothing I wouldn't cut out, nothing within reason that I would not consider in an effort to maintain this new body size.

Having said this, I have taken up running and run a couple of marathons a year, plus 5 miles (at least) every day) - except for now as I have just had plastic surgery and can't run for 4-6 weeks.
