BethanyMarie,

Hard lesson to learn, but it is amazing, how eating only when hungry is a good thing and stopping when my stomach is satisified. I, too, learned to love hearing my stomach growl...it feels successful as a small goal knowing that I didn't eat just cuz, but I need to eat because my body says it's time. I grew up as a member of the "clean plate club". As a star member, it's hard to learn to leave food on your plate when your body says it is satisfied, again, I feel successful when I do.
