This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This is what I've been doing too. I eat less, and I've stopped snacking in the evening. I use to eat 3-4 piece of bread in the morning, a big playe for lunch and sometimes 2 plates at night.

I'm eating 1-2 piece of bread for breakfast. If I eat a big breakfast in the weekend, I just skip lunch.

I eat half a plate in the evening. Works pretty well. I think the more you eat, the more your stomach expects, so by reducing the amount of food, you stomach is full quicker

Now, I absolutely need to learn to eat slowly

I actually snack only at night. I keep track of what I eat during the day, made easier by not snacking, then I know how much I can eat later.

Ditto! Sometimes I struggle with getting carried away at night, but talking through to myself when I go to snack helps me with getting it back under control (..usually.) Just going "Why do I feel like I NEED a second dessert?" can sometimes get me to stop and walk away.

Also, just going and brushing my teeth seems to be a good portion control hack.

Oh yeah, there's definitely times I go overboard, but then the next day may be a fast day. It's worked pretty well. I'm trying to get my six pack to be more defined now, instead of losing my belly.
