Step 3 and 5 hugs later..

My step for today was to eat only when I was physically hungry. I think I managed pretty well with that, in the sense that I ate less.

Breakfast at 11am: Indian Flat bread and Chick peas (no oil, only spiced up!)

Lunch 3pm: Left over flat bread from the morning with some chickpeas

Dinner 9pm: a small bowl of Mac Cheese (Kraft Dinner) and some left over bread from the morning

Snack 11pm: 1 Poppadum (dry roasted) 26 calories

I might have a cup of tea before I go to bed now.

Step for tomorrow:

I think I need to program my brain to listen to my body. I will make sure I take time out for myself to hear my body. I would like to train my body to eat only what it likes and not let anything go past these lips that I don’t actually like. Then I will teach myself not to touch leftovers!!

For now, I will be content with taking time out to hear my body tomorrow before putting anything in my mouth. (Trying to slow myself down!)

    I must add a mini caesar salad with low fat dressing at 2.am instead of the hot chocolate and now, I am definitely going to bed.

    remember: a moment on your lips, forever on your hips. *wink*

    I started making my food tally posts the day after specifically to avoid the 2am additions :)

    When I used to post my daily diaries,I found it easier not to eat again that day as “I’d already confessed for that day”

    Being a lawyer, rules work for me!
    I love the idea of not eating as ‘I’d confessed for that day’. Thank you for that Paola.

    @Sylvia – I am not that disciplined, I sleep much better when I have done what I have to do for that day.
