For the longest time I had wanted to get stretchmarks on my belly, and now that I have lost some weight they finally show up. I took some pics today ... sort of randomly and noticed that I finally have some marks, which I love.
I have always admired people that had stretchmarks on their belly, it has always seemed as a badge of honor to me. Since my run-in ... I have lost about 5 lbs, nothing major at all. Recently, when I get hungry, I tend to want to eat until I more than full, which is the typical way I would eat while I am gaining. Now that I have not been actively gaining, I find it hard to return to my old eating habits. While I am presently struggling with this I am also thinking about how much harder it would be to return to healthier eating habits once I have reached my goal weight. And I wonder if I would ever be able to accomplish that. I wonder if the stomach is able to retract back down in size after training to be able to eat a tremendous amount of food. However this doesn't stop me from ordering 2-3 sandwiches, a fry and a large drink.
As Always,
Eat Up

I think it IS possible for the stomach to get used to eating less again. Though you know my opinion - why even try to eat less when you can expand that beautiful belly and eat even more delicious, fattening foods ;-)
ReplyDeleteI hear you. I have wondered the same myself, and I think your stomach will adapt to new circumstances. Don't force yourself either way - give yourself some time and let your mind settle on what feels comfortable. That's my 2 cents worth of unsolicited advice ;)
