Portions sizes
I tried doing research about what is appropriate portion sizes and I am baffled. So am I doing it wrong?
Meat Portions
Veggies Portions
Grains Portions
Fruit Portions
am I supposed to eat the tennis ball? whats up with that?
Dairy Portions
That wont cover a bowl of cereal dude. How about if you are a cheese head or are from Wisconsin?

Who are they kidding? I am eating smaller portions (not as small as the suggested size but still) and I am still hungry and I am hungrier faster. Honestly I would rather continue eating the way I am eating and implement an exercise regiment. I am tempted to try the whole portions thing but look at those servings. There is just no way a nursing mother could survive on that. Hubs is worried that I never used to obsess about my weight or portion so whats wrong.
Technically I look good for my weight and size as my body tends to hide any excess weight in 'good places'. However, I am 20lbs over my pre pregnancy weight and I am scared that if we do conceive again I will mushroom another 20lbs. I am trying to get back to my pre baby weight so that I can relax. Being 40lbs overweight for someone as short as me probably wont look to good no matter how good I am at hiding things.
He thinks the blogosphere is negatively affecting me but lets be realistic here. How much longer can I abuse my fast metabolism and not change my ways? I have seen the women in my family to be worried about my HORRIBLE eating and NON EXISTING exercise schedule. Plus I don't want to develop any medical conditions like diabetes (runs in the fam) or other issues. I am only 24 and my son is a year old now. I am in my baby making years and I don't want to be stressed during a pregnancy. I want to enjoy my pregnancy and try to have a healthy outcome.
but anyway I digressed from my rant. Do any of you follow suggested portions? do any of you follow the 1/3 water, 1/3 food and 1/3 air hadith dealing with food?

nope LOL! i would if i wasn't nursing, but since i am i always eat til i am full...not STUFFED full, but a satisfied full. breakfast is always a bowl of cereal with skim milk...lunch is always a turkey sandwich and maybe a veggie soup if i am still hungry and dinner is whatever i cook and a big salad. i don't snack a whole lot, but if i do it will usually be a handful of pretzels or something quick. i am consistantly loosing weight with this in addition to exercise WITHOUT counting calories or being obsessed with portion sizes. hth and GL!
Yeah, we don't follow that in our house. I think that goes off the assumption that you'll be eating every 3-4 hours (3 meals, 2 snacks). For people who only eat 2 meals, 1 snack, that isn't a good amount. How often are you eating?
