IDK whether you eat too much or not, I'm not there.. .but I think the soda is a problem. Someone ran a special recently on the addicting effects of soda, especially diet soda.. the chemicals etc...and how the sugar is so bad for us (it's so many tablespoonsful!) I have a friend who drinks diet soda and is very heavy... she will not give up her soda...but she changes how she eats, what she eats, when she eats but keeps the soda..and the weight. I think there must be a connection.

If others think you eat too much, maybe you are and don't feel like it... they can be wrong, yes... try eating the same amounts but eat them divided up into someting every 2 hours instead, see if that keeps you satiated? Good wishes with this. (BTW stress/cortisol is a big factor in weight, too. ) TC
