I don't know if many of you have heard the fact that your stomach is full, but your eyes are still hungry.
I don't know if this is a psychological thing or just something that cannot be helped? Cause I am sure I have this problem. I do force food down my throat until my plate is finished.
Get this. I am lap banded as well and that's doing almost nothing to stop me. I have lost a few kilos but nothing special.
I feel like my problem lies with the fact that my eyes just wanted more and more even though my body says no. My dad who married another woman had a few kids and something I noticed with those kids is they have that exact same thing with me where they just don't stop eating their eyes just want more.
Could this be a genetic problem or something? Like I said I only have ever heard of this saying and don't know anyone that definitely has it but I'm sure I do.
Edit:
I probably should have pointed out that I do eat slow. Ever since the lap band (it's been about a year now) I take the very least 20 minutes to finish my food as well as Chewing a lot before swallowing because if I don't the food gets stuck.
The problem is however, the actual amount I eat remains unchanged.
Also yes when I was young, I was encouraged to finish myfood and fill up on bread. Bad parenting? Maybe...
