If I eat out and have a 1500 calorie meal... I may get cravings later b/c meal wasn't nutrient dense and over eat. 

By eating again later 

Eating the way I do has made my focus keeping my weight up. I can loose 1/2 pound a day just going about my daily routine even if I am eating close to my RDI. My body uses the food I feed it— it does not store it.. I know, someone will come on this thread and say something about metabolic ward studies show this or that— who cares, works for me. 

So eat when hungry and balanced I guess 

You don't get hungry looking at food, smelling food, etc., it makes you want to eat, but that's not really hunger. I could eat all day long, just because I like to eat, and used to do just that and got up over 450 pounds because of it.  

Phil..exactly Phil. 

Your body tells you when you need more fuel.  

Like a car. You don't gas it at certain times of day..it is based on mileage used 

I eat my emotions, I know, how emasculated of me, but true, and better to eat a whole damn pizza than choke TF out of whoever made me mad, sad, whatever.  

Yea. I don't eat when I am sad but am ravenous when angry 

or , you simply delay breakfast for 6 hours after waking.  

I used to direct anger by doing something active...so I guess if I eat then I used to burn it. Not so much now..but I am not quick to abger like when younger. 

I still have the urge to eat when I'm emotional, but I redirect it to other things. When I'm angry now, I'm just verbally mean to whomever pissed me off.  

I have learned over time To not allow things that people do or say to effect how I treat myself. I cannot be manipulated into sabotaging myself in anyway. 

Hahaha Phil! Hey, anger is a healthy emotion and should be expressed in a healthy way...which could mean defining your boundaries by not taking BS 

I think planning windows is a great way to train yourself and learn the tools 

I think though some folks will eat a lot/binge then starve themselves setting themselves for a binge.  

AMT— home remodeling may be myexception as well!! 

Indeed, and it also means firing back at people that have no concept of a mental filter!  

I was a scrappy gal from Baltimore...it took most of my 20s to understand the notion of responding to things that self sabotage. A lot more centered now and control my own domain.
