Obviously one of the biggest things in making the lifestyle change to eat healthily forever is portion control. And admittedly I'm still in the learning stage of knowing what a real portion is and how it looks on a plate.
But sometimes the measuring thing makes me...grouchy. I don't mind weighing. Maybe I've watched too many episodes of Good Eats, but getting out the digital scale I associate with cooking, not weight control.
And I don't mind measuring some foods. As I say this, maybe it was just the one food today... Peanut butter... I'm measuring two tablespoons of peanut butter so I can have a PB and banana sandwich for lunch (It was a craving... what can I say)(Wheat bread has HALF the fucking calories of the Whole Wheat White we've been eating? Where is a brick to hit myself in the head with?)
Anyway, I'm scraping the PB out of the tablespoon with my knife, considering going in after it with a finger so I don't waste a precious morsel like some addict, jonesing for a fix. Bah, humbug.
Went for a longer walk with Toby than I would normally have so I could have some desert. I run/walk to eat, I think. :)

You sound like me. My husband makes fun of me because I measure out a cup of cereal in the morning and 1/2 cup of milk. I also count pretzels and fat free pringles to go with my lunch. It's ridiculous. It's all mental, too. Do I really think that if I eat 20 Pringles instead of the recommended 14 that I am going to gain all the weight back? It's all worth it in the end, though.
