I used to think that way till I spent one Sept trip in the bathroom with stomach troubles.I agree with Goofysince71,,,,its vacation, never ever split anything, you'll really regret it
I know what your saying, but for me, I prefer to eat really slowly, taste the food thoroughly, chew it 10 times longer than necessary, and leave the table full, but not stuffed. I used to be a glutton. I had real problems with it. I'll never forget the "glutton trip". It was a nightmare. I've never seen the bathrooms as full as they were on that September "free DDP" trip, so I don't think I was the only one in my shape. I felt like I was turning "green" and about to pop the whole trip. Despite all the walking (and we did a LOT of walking!!!) I still gained weight on that trip. I expanded my stomach from over-eating on every single meal (I came from one of those "clean your plate" families.) and it took weeks and weeks after that trip to get myself back where my appetite needed to be. When I got back, before the next trip, I posted a thread on how to NOT over eat. It was a good thread! it went really well and I got a lot of good advise that I have used ever since. Then I started doing the "I can make you thin" diet, and that helped even more.
Now we may or may not split a dessert, but either way, I'm only going to eat so much. Your brain gets the same satisfaction whether you eat a little slowly or a lot quickly.
BTW, the plan is AWESOME. Check it out on youtube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQv1JBZ197Q
They had a series on Discovery channel for a while. I never paid a cent, though I do plan to buy the DVDs soon.
