You're fat because you eat too much

[Parsons]

K-PAX, thank you so much for your supportive reply. I still very much struggle with this issue and have made very little headway. The only thing I have managed to do is set a weight limit and not allow myself to cross it. I limit how much and what type of food I eat and (generally) don't allow myself to overindulge. I am very much a creature of habit (I literally have to force myself to be spontaneous), so my solution is to replace one habit with another less destructive one. IE, I will go through the drive through and only order a burger instead of a burger and fries. My crypotonite is when I get a meal with my wife and she orders way too much food for us to eat. I end up trying to eat all of it because I feel guilty that a 2D creature (plant or animal) lived and died to be my meal.

Ankh, I was just barely able to read your post but don't have enough time to devote to the reply in which it deserves. I will reply in full as soon as I get an opportunity.
