I just ate my main meal of the day. Left over pot roast, potatoe, carrots, pat of butter, I wanted something else, so I ate half an orange cut up, and half an apple cut up. I ate dried mango from sunsweet this a.m. with my coffee. My portion of dinner was not big. I may go back later this evening for more. I do tend to eat more smaller meals throughout the day, rather than big huge meals where you feel bloated. I never get super hungry if I can help it. On portion, less than card deck size of meat, one whole carrot and one potatoe, with the butter, yes gravy, but made with cream of musroom soup and bullion cube, not fat, flour and milk.
One trick is to eat some apple before a meal. It takes the edge off your hunger. Try smaller meal portions and wait 20 minutes or so before going for more. Sometimes you can be satisfied with less if you just wait a little bit. Go ahead and have more if you are truely still hungry. Eat slower too. I used to inhaled my food, ate fast all the time. That was the biggest change I think.
