Showing Original Post only (View all)I've put on 20 pounds in the 3.5 months since I quit smoking [View all]
And I needed to lose weight before that, so I seriously need to lose some weight now.
I started today. I'm not on any kind of diet or plan besides that of my own making. I figured I'd just cut calories and exercise. My main problem is that I don't seem to recognize when I'm full until I'm stuffed so I overeat.
Any suggestions? What's worked for you?

You nailed it, friend. Eat a small portion and wait a while before having more. Works for me.

Eat slowly. Go the healthy snack route (eg: carrots/celery w/yogurt dip).
