I absolutely agree with the habit part.
For example, I went for dinner last night and only ate half my plate, I intentionally left it to pack home for another day. I was still hungry, yes, but I just finished my glass of water and called it a night.
The sensation of being 'hungry' is still there, but I have learned to sort of ignore it so it doesn't bug me as much. And like I said many times before, a glass of water usually gets rid of it.
I have lost 11 pounds roughly in the last month, but I did weigh myself in gym clothes after using the washroom, so give or take a little bit.
I am able to tell that my pants are giving me a lot more room. I have been eating MUCH MUCH less than I used to, and my stupid reasoning was 'big guy needs to eat!'
Good job Drow, I'm glad you are happy now
Oh and cheat days are IMPORTANT! Morally. It doesn't have to be a full day, I usually have a cheat meal on sundays when I go out for wings. I even order a pop. Although it isn't the best thing for you, its better to have 1 bad meal a week than to give up because you are nothing to look forward to
