I don't have cable so I did not watch the show. However, thanks for posting this. This really made me think and remember my eating "plan."

For me, the communication between my stomach and brain is broken. I rarely feel hungry. If I only ate when I felt hungry I would eat maybe 2 or 3 times a week. And even at that, I feel full after a few bites. But, you reminded me to eat this morning. LOL. Retraining my brain and metabolism is what I have been trying to do. Since I don't eat a lot, my body is storing reserves.

Now you may be thinking I am thin. NOT! MS so sweetly and kindly helped me put weight on. Between slowing down and medications I put weight on 30 lbs. Getting off Paxil was a huge help. I dropped 10+ pounds within a month of getting off it.

I am going to follow these rules by altering them a bit.
1. Eat at scheduled times whether feeling hungry or not.
2. Make what you eat count towards proper nutrition.
3. Focus on eating. (I'll keep that one)
4. Maybe, stop eating after x amount of bites.

Thanks Greta!
