so what do you do when your stuffed...

i weigh and measure my food... a suggestion from my nutritionist so i do not binge and so that i eat the correct calories since i have ALWAYS had food issues from either binging or restricting but anyway...

i get so full and sometimes dont want to finish.  but i do because i have to.  i guess this is more of a rant then a question.

there wll come a time when i can not finish everything on my plate i assume.  it just makes me feel like when i was a binge eater and i would lick my plates after plates.  sometimes i just want to stop when im full!  but im not allowed right?

When you've got into an unhealthy starve/binge eating pattern you have to make a conscious effort to eat regularly and take in the right amount.  It will feel a little unnatural at first but your nutritionist is right to get you and your body used to regular meals of a certain size.  Retraining your appetite.  To avoid feeling full too quickly try to make sure your plate contains plenty of high-energy, low-bulk foods.... this makes it a smaller plateful but with more calories.   Flavoursome foods are more appetising than bland ones.  And try to eat a little more quickly.  Lingering over food can make you feel full before you've finished.

It's worth persevering.  One day, what you're doing will feel entirely normal.
