Cathy: My brain knew I'd eaten a tiny salad for dinner, but my stomach felt way too full. I must have blown it. I feel too full! Nervous that I'd somehow gained weight on salad, I started eating grapes, a totally innocent snack except...Now I feel really really full! Panicked over 300 calories of salad and grapes, I made fat-free popcorn..Which I washed down with diet soda...Which made the popcorn expand in my stomach like giant sea sponges..Which made me feel...Really really really really full! If I'd trusted the facts, I would have congratulated myself on my healthy dinner and low-cal snacks. Instead, convinced I'd ruined all progress, I flung myself into the chips, cookies and chocolate, and sent myself to bed. Sigh.. I didn't overeat. I under-believed.
