Super size Me?

I am having an ah ha moment.    Serving Size?  This is one of main contributors to my "phatness".   A true serving size on a plate seems so inadequate, so small, so not worth while, such a tease, and yet so obviously APPROPRIATE!   Right now, I am in a Phase Before "pre-op diet", meaning I am trying to incorporate Nectar protein shakes (flavor seeking), trying other sources of protein to see what I like and don't like, drinking tons of water, continuing my normal working out, and paying very close attention to portion sizes.    After my surgery, I will only be able to eat a true serving of food at one setting.     Wow check out a Serving Size of my favorite weekend snack, Pringles.


Now:                                                       After:

A good visual is that my stomach right now is the size of a Football, but after surgery will be the size of an Egg.

Admission:   Today I ate 7 serving sizes of Pringles chips to fill my football, or was I already full and just could not stop eating them?  


See my Friends, this is why I need to have my stomach altered with! To trust myself to portion food properly is NOT going to happen.   I am an addict and a slave to my appetite.   Getting this surgery is like sending a cocaine smoking pill popping addict to a rehab clinic!    

Why hasn't anyone told me this before? My God, it took me 22 years struggling with my weight, before I realized.  


I have come to realize I have an addiction.   No matter how many times I plan to have the healthiest, properly portioned mindset, my addiction ALWAYS WINS.
