is this temporary, or can i trust it?

I'm feeling quite 'in control' of late, and that's a strange thing...for me, anyway. :o)

And that doesn't necessarily mean i've been eating 100% correctly, as per the NDFH. Pretty far from it, actually. I've kinda been eating pretty much whatever i want, trying to choose somewhat-wisely most of the time -- but am finding i'm leaving almost (and sometimes more than!) half of whatever it is i'm eating on my plate (or feeding it to the dogs)... every meal. Even the things i have always finished in the past; i'm not finishing them now.

Is this what is meant by eating-til-satisfied?? I mean; i know that it is, but who'da thought it would be easy to do? What i'm finding is; i really hate that feeling of fullness lately, and on the few occasions when i HAVE eaten too much-- I make sure at the next meal that i don't.

And after having many things that are NOT on The NDFH over the last 3-4 days (chips and dip, sausage/egg/cheese biscuit, milkshake, french-fries, double cheeseburger...oh, and some salad!) -- i'm still below 175, which is kinda shocking to me. I would've thought all of those foods would've put water-weight on me in a millisecond. That's my MO, you see.

What's even more surprising is that i'm not bloated in the middle -- which is DEFINITELY my MO of late. The blouses and clothes that used to cling and aggravate me now lay loosely around my waist -- swinging nicely. I could definitely get used to this! :o)

Hmmmm...will have to continue testing this theory throughout the weekend...see if i can get BELOW 174 by Tue or Wed of next week...
