I exersised so that a month after the babies I was about
ten pounds 'overweight'.

I tend to do the 'Calvin' test...if my clothes feel tight,
I fast and washout until they fit right.

I am a vegan, and I eat small portions.
For dinner, for example, I make vegatarian lasagne.
I cut it portions into the size of a two brownies.

That's what I'm going to eat.

I eat slow, I chew, and finish. Since I already measured
out my potion, there's no food on the plate, and it's a
small plate.

I don't take feeling hungry as a kind of torment.
I don't have to eat the whole one portion bag of
like potato chips, (for an example) three is enough.

I drink a lot of natural juice, force myself to drink
water every time I'm near the kitchen.

I'm just conscious of eatting.
Most people aren't conscious of it.

They are eating and talking, and shovelling.

I'm the same size I was since I was fourteen.

You gotta admire Kaylar's discipline!!!

I don't eat much either, Kaylar. I drink plenty of water (that's my main drink); I've changed from drinking milk to soy milk (I've got to get used to the taste. It's not bad, tastes like liquid cool whip, LOL)

I'm enjoying plenty of salads as well.
I eat lots of veggies and I mainly eat fish, shrimp and chicken -- cutting back on the beef and hardly eat pork.

Since the "berries" are in season, I've been using those for snacking and dessert, just mixing cherries, strawberries and blueberries together (YUM!)

My "chips" of choice are multi-grain "Sunchips" by Frito-Lay.
They are sooooo good.
