This is something that didn't "click" with me until the last few days. I'd always considered my portions "small" because even before starting this diet, I ate 5-6 "small" meals a day. But now I realize that, for me, my meals cannot total more than 250 calories each, depending on the density and "fullness" of the food. Since I started doing this a few days ago, in preparation for my trip on Thursday (!), I am feeling a zillion times better... and I thought I was feeling good before!
Please, I am urging anyone that struggles with bloating or is not completely stable to experiment with how much you can eat in one sitting. I am often still hungry when I finish eating, but I promise myself that I'll stop eating for an hour and then I can eat again. This has me eating almost every hour while I'm awake, but it's working! Good luck to all of you!
Love, Elizabeth

Good idea. I have found now that I am pregnant, I have to eat ALOT more often, but can only do a bit at a time. I have always eaten often, but now the bloating/fullness gets me. Thanks!

Am I out of it here or is the picture someone popular that I should know? My mouth dropped when you said you were pregnant and I see your picture!

No...it's Russell Crowe. Sorry. That would be one for the books.

Never noticed before that you are from New Ken. I have friends out by you! Spent every summer of my life in the Greensburg / Latrobe area and Ligonier as well. Small world.

That is funny. I went to college at Saint Vincent in Latrobe. It is so pretty out there. Not very busy for jobs, but would be nice to retire to. It is a small world. My best friend from Vinnie's lives in NYC now up on 90th St. Amazing how we can all somehow be connected one way or another!

I know the campus! It really is gorgeous up there. I'd consider retiring out there myself. I haven't been to New Ken in forever, but a good friend of mine is a priest there now. I was just out in Greensburg for the past week for my uncle's funeral  but at least it's a nice setting!

I just started doing this for the last week, per my doctors orders after my upper GI. It's hard, for sure, but I am feeling better though. Not as much bloating, but I think my body is slowly adjusting to it. It's just hard though not eating, or wanting to eat more. I just have to think about how its benefiting me!
