That works pretty well for not going back for seconds.
wouldn't stop me

Have any of you tried time restricted eating? Â Instead of focusing on what to eat and what not to eat.... Look into only eating during a certain timeframe. Â You can read about the 8 hour diet or others, but I can tell you it really works. Â If I eat after 6pm it's only a few bites of some sort of protein, just to not feel like I'm starving. Â I don't hold to this strictly and still enjoy my life, it's just been a very simple way that I've figured out how to manage my weight. Â By the time my twins were 8 months old I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight without doing anything crazy to get there.
Most of my physical activity comes in the evenings as I have a desk job. Â This also helps. Â I burn calories and stay busy instead of taking in more calories that I won't use. Â Diets have never worked for me at all...restricting time is much easier because there's always something to do at our place other than eat! lolÂ
 If I stopped eating by 6pm, I would go crazier than I already am. LOL I may not fall asleep until after midnight or 1am. That's a lot of hours to get really hungry. Haha |

Lol, kind of like taking left overs home from a restaurant, yay, a snack for the ride home. Mine rarely survive to the next day. |

I rarely go to sleep before midnight! I have to use the hours after I get home from work to get everything else done. Around here there's always something to ride, clean up, feed, fix, wrap legs, medicate, or put to bed.
4 Children
15 horses
4 ponies
4 goats
1 cat
I tried to go back to running a barrel horse last fall after I had the twins...I hated the way I felt in the saddle. That is enough to keep me carrying water instead of dragging a hose and finding other ways to rebuild the strength that was lost in the 7 months that I wasn't able to even sweep the floor.

I am lucky my guy will eat anything or else he would get the above statement. I have no other ideas for you has I only have to cook for mine on the weekends when he is home. He eats pretty dang healthy when he is gone.
I pull this one on my dad all the time, " Do you want to be around to see your grandkids grow up?" Usually works while I am home for the weekend and then he goes back to his old ways. I was raised that way and 100% agree with you! If I didn't like what my mom cooked, I either sucked it up or went to bed hungy.
I just have a hard time implementing that with my husband. I know he works long hours in the heat and I know he is starving by dinner time and just wants his "meat and potatoes" so to speak. I would be good with a salad for dinner, but that doesn't fly with him.
If any of you have picky husbands and have gotten through to them, please feel free to share your secrets!
I beat my mom at this BS!!! Every Friday evening she would cook liver and onions... Well...I hated the smell and taste of liver.... I refused to eat it... So every Friday night I went to bed hungry.. Fuq it!!! I didn't give a **** then or now..... She finally quit cooking liver... |

| I have a husband that is a picky eater too... red meat and potatoes is about all he will eat... I have finally gotten him to eat some fish but it is all frozen and breaded but i'm happy that it atleast isn't red meat! And he is a Mac & Cheese fanatic! So i usually eat the same meat as him just smaller portion and then i will make myself a small salad or a veggie like broccoli and i try not to eat the mac & chese or potatoes... but this here lately has proven difficult. i need to get with it! |
