The Food Confessional

Posted by Ginni

I am enjoying this ‘One Step a Day’ diet, as I don’t feel guilty when I eat something, as its not in my step to deal with today!

My food log for today:-

Breakfast : Berry Smoothie (Strawberries, Blueberries, Raspberries, a little bit of honey, home made 0% yoghurt)

Late morning: 2 slices of Toast with a boiled egg

3pm Lunch: A Pepperoni Pizza (Nutrisystem) 300 calories

8pm Dinner: Celery Soup 160 calories

11pm – Low Cal Hot Choc drink

Water: I lost count after 5 glasses but I had more than 8 (still have a glass on my desk as I am writing this)

Snack – I decided to keep a bowl of sunflower seeds on my desk and I nibble a piece at a time whilst I am on the computer. It makes me thirsty for some reason, so helped with the intake of water too.

The Step for tomorrow – To eat only when I am actually physically hungry.  I semi started this today, but formally it starts from tomorrow. I will aim to physically have a quiet moment to listen to my body to tell me whether it is hungry or not.

Thank you for all your  hugs and the suggestions – I will be stocking up on low cal drinks or experimenting with smoothies (if the snowing stops!). I have a stash of low cal hot choc drinks for now. I think I do better without snacks too, but I am going to get away from the routine of eating ‘on time’.

I am building up to the step to count calories soon, but I don’t think I am ready for that just yet!
