I had a crazy day today from one work to the next and a morning full of meetings the home quickly to take care a few things then back on the road to my night class. In the process I figured out a little something that might be worth trying..and I am going to try it for a while.
For breakfast I had a starbucks oatmeal with everything and a nonfat peppermint mocha. I drank the coffee and at around 10-ate some of my oatmeal. I then snacked on the rest of my portion later on. For lunch I purchased a bowl of Vietnamese chicken soup from a cart (we have a lot of carts in Portland). These bowls are way to huge so I had a bit then put the lid back on. I had more at 3:45 right before I left for my night class and then finished most of the bowl up tonight at 8:30 when I got home from class. I also had some naughty snacks here and there (two small pieces of shortbread and a protein bar at 6pm) but overall I think milking the meals out over a longer period of time (kind of like what Bunny is doing I guess) just might at least make the snack choices I am making more healthy ones.
This does kind of work for me, probably, because I don't mind eating my food cold. I am not sure if it will be something I like or will do long term but for now I am going to see how it works.
The scale was up and down today..i had a 164 reading then a 161 then two 163's...who knows what i weigh but it ain't 170 and I am happy!!
Living with a lapband after seeing goal is just as much work as getting there. This blog chronicles my journey to qualify for band surgery, my work to goal weight and now living with the band long term. Weight will always be an issue but there is a whole lot of living to be done.

Be interesting to see if that works - keep us posted :)
This is kind of what I do with my evening meal when I'm at home. I'll plate myself up what I consider to be a 'regular' portion(but what a 'normal' person would consider small!) and eat what I want of it; then I keep it next to me when I'm watching tv and nibble on it here and there. This means I'm then eating all of the veggies and other good bits from a regaulr meal that I should be getting, rather than turning to unhealthy snacks.
I like the idea. I am still to hungry during the day to do that right now. it sucks.
That is a good idea, especially in the evenings as Justine said, I really need something to stop me snacking.
I think that your scale is related to mine!
Yes, totally up for a meet up when you come south :)
