I am sure that my problem is also largely overeating. Sounds like a valuable lesson, I don't think I could do the fat fast as it doesn't appeal to me, but thanks for posting what you learned. I need to force myself to stop eating 1/2 through the meal and ask myself am I really still hungry. I think so many times I eat what is on the plate regardless of whether or not I want all of it, because that is what I do.

Congrats on the loss, and for sticking to something that must have been hard.
