Eating Air??

After my rampage about the ww plan and how it has changed to Trixie, I did a little internet surfing.  What is my issue.  Why is this struggle with food a struggle for me and not for others?  What other options are out there for me?

I searched Dr. Oz.  "Think yourself thin" was the name of the show.  FABULOUS...I will just think about it...the Dr. explaining the method said that the people thinking themselves thin ate 40% less.  The theory is that you sit down with an empty bowl and spoon/fork/eating utensil of your choice...I will sit down with a big kitchen spoon and a big serving dish empty in front of me.  Then you imagine yourself eating the food before you actually eat the real food.  So you go through the motions.  The idea is that you fire off the eating senses early so that they aren't so charged up once your actual dinner arrives.  Great.  First of all, can you see me sitting in the dining hall surrounded by the entire school while I pretend to eat dinner with my empty plate?  Let's see...then, what would I be eating?  Hmmmm....this is a delightful idea...I could eat anything.  I think I will serve myself up some creamed spinach with a crusty salty bread crumb topping.  Next I will move on to the second course...an extra large papa gino's pizza with butter melted on top of it...better make that extra cheese too.  Don't forget my chicken fingers and egg rolls...Oh, and a big jar of peanut butter...make it a large wonder bread filled fluff sandwich with doritos on the side followed by a raspberry lime ricky.

Oh goodness...I have to go take a pretend tums.  My stomach is killing me from all that food.


C'mon people.
