Mind vs. Stomach…Day 2!
The day went pretty well. Learning to wait for hunger and not base my eating on what time the clock says. I almost feel like a little kid stomping their feet sometimes when I see its noon and Im not hungry…its supposed to be time to eat.
I also am struggling just a bit with fear of going past satisfied to stuffed. So a couple times yesterday I needed to go back for more food after I had what I thought would be enough. I find my stomach still feeling like its giving me those hunger rumbles and then I wonder if what Im feeling is just the digesting of the food. MENTAL vs STOMACH. Really, it should not be such a big deal. If I eat past satisfied/full all I need to do is wait it out for the hunger again…simple right? I like to complicate it…silly me. Im afraid if I go over once I will do it again and fall back to old ways.
I am also still feeling really tired and have this headache…still. Possible sinus related…or maybe new BP meds I started??? So, I didn’t get much done around the house yesterday. I watched American Idol and Biggest Loser last night…thank goodness for Tivo! I definatly have my favs on idol…Danny being one. And BL continues to disappoint me…my best girl went home last night. Im really not liking Ron much lately.
Im planning on getting much more accomplished around here today. I will have all my kiddos here this afternoon and tonight. Looking forward to it…not the fighting I know will come with it…but I don’t get much time with my 17 y/o son anymore.
Alright…so here is my food journal from yesterday. You will begin to see a pattern…I LOVE cereal and peanut butter. And for whatever reason in the last couple days…eggs. That wont last long…can only handle eggs for a while and then its like Ive had my fill and I cant even swallow them…weird I know.
9:50 am~2 eggs (scrambled)
Mini bagel w/ butter (aprox. 1 t.)
1:20 pm~Egg salad on a Sandwhich Thin
Light chips (small serv)
2:20 pm~Apple (small) w/ 1 T. peanut butter
5:15 pm~Lean boneless pork chop (about 3 oz)
Baked potato (med) w/ light butter (aprox 1 ½ T)
Celery (lg stalk) w/ peanut butter
8:15 pm~Choc Pudding (fat free sugar free) W/ lite Cool Whip
10:15 pm~Multigrain Chex Cereal (1 1/2c) w/ ½ c 1% milk
Water~96 oz.
Well…I do believe my stomach is calling…time to make some breakfast…Yay!
Happy Wednesday!!

deb…..keep on moving forward…..you can do this
Awesome job…you are doing great. I am proud of you hunnie
Have a great family home evening night.
P.S.~I too have a soft spot for Danny on American Idol. Last night I voted for him, Alexis Grace, Mr. Handsome Oil Guy aka Michael ;)and I also voted for the guy with the medium length kinda emo/rocker black hair and black nails and also the rocker girl with the red hair…so far those are my peeps, lol!
Love seeing you back on track! You can do this. I know many times too I think I am hungry and notice that if I drink some water, it was just a little thirst.
I guess the saying, “Know thyself” applies here.
You’re doing great HON! Sucks I don’t have time for AI or BL!
Awesome accountability there.
SOUNDS TO ME YOU ARE DOING PRETTY GOOD! AND I AM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU I AN HAVEING A HARD TIME WITH RON TOO!!!!
Morning Debbi! Your doing great! I also was sad to see Mandi go home but she’s doing great on her own and could still win a lot of money
Eating when you are hungry! Wish I could convince Tony to do that, specially when we just had breakfast 2 hours ago. It’s hard to fix something for him and not eat to. Oh well I do my best. Good luck on this new program, bet it works for you.
Your meals sound great!! I bet your stomach just has to get used to this way of eating, good luck!
Big smile…hey debbi girl, looks like your doing great! I’m so proud of you for working on this!! Whoooo hooo…go debbi, go debbi!! lol
Doin’ great Debbi!! Good for you!
Keep up the great efforts Debbi.
