Change your definition of full.
If you can't easily take a brisk walk after a meal, it means you have eaten too much
and you might have an unrealistic definition of fullness.
People with weight problems tend to have a hard time stopping eating when just satisfied for a number of reasons. One reason is that you have gotten used to eating to overfull not just satisfied. Another is that you might just want to prolong the eating experience. Or you might be concerned that you will get hungry soon.
Today you will practice telling yourself that you can stop when satisfied. Eating just to have the food in your mouth for longer is just not acceptable. You no longer need to eat because you fear hunger. Hunger is ok and it won't hurt you.
Slow down and notice when you are satisfied.

Hi Mary Kay! I met you briefly when Corky took you to pick up Lang at my house in Vientiane. As you guys were going to the new life house. Anyway, Corky told me to look up your site as my husband and I are on a South beach diet. I do have to say that I'm so impress and how godly this diet is for you. I ate because I wanted to prolong the eating experience, so true!! Now I thank God that if I'm full it's enough. By God's grace you can do it! Ping
