Todays weight = 248.4 Hello new decade.
Yesterday I didn't have work - the university was closed because we got about 8 inches of snow. I had a cozy snow day at home. Since that threw a wrench into my outdoor walking I did an exercise dvd and I am SORE today.
Now on to my NSV - Since I was off work yesterday I ate an early dinner at 5:00. About 7:30 or so I started getting that nagging feeling telling me to eat a snack. I thought "I could eat a cutie, they're so small, it would be alright...or a banana or some raw vegetables...there's hardly any calories in them..." But I sat still for a minute and payed attention to if I was really physically hungry or was I just compelled to emotionally eat. I decided I wasn't hungry and fought off the urge to eat or drink (only water) until I went to bed at 11:00. That is huge for me to not eat from 5-11. I just challanged myself to see if I could do it and I pushed through the uncomfortableness. It felt great to not let food have that power over me. I was the one in control. If I did it once I can do it again and again.
I started reading The End of Overeating today. I hope it helps.
OMG OMG OMG!!!
ReplyDelete1. CONGRATS on a new decade!
2. YAY for you, pushing through after realizing it was emotional hunger! (try more protein-based meals...they satisfy longer.)
3. YAY to reading The End of Overeating! I AM SO SO STOKED about that! :D
Awesome job, especially resisting the evening cravings. I don't get evening cravings, but my mid-morning munchies are a real killer!
ReplyDeleteYay for the new decade!! Keep it up! And that's a great NSV. I usually eat a light breakfast and then have a small snack mid-morning, but I've given that up. My usual morning snack was a granola bar and when I started ww I saw I didn't want to "spend" my points on it, so no more snack, just tea and it's been alright. (But only because I eat lunch early, haha. Can't give up my afternoon snacks.)
ReplyDeleteWhat a concept ... right ... deciding if you really are hungry before you eat. :) Congratulations on being in in control and getting into the 40's.
