well, i certainly am learning things about myself through this process. i had a slight setback last night. i've always know this, but it is becoming extremely evident to me now - i am a nighttime snacker. i don't know what is so different about night...maybe because i'm not busy like i am at work. i ate much more than i needed to to feel satisfied last night.
i had a panini for dinner, which was fine. a couple hours later i was a little hungry, so i made some sweet potato fries. i definitely didn't need a whole sweet potato to be not hungry anymore - so that's a good lesson for the future. it's too tempting to eat once its made - just make a smaller one. sooner or later, it won't even be tempting to eat the whole thing anymore...but i don't think i'm there yet.
then, a couple hours later i wanted a treat, so i had an individual ww ice cream cup. i actually really like those (too much!), they're not a "diet" food to me - just thought i should mention that because in ie you are not supposed to be going back to those diet foods. anyways, i ended up having more than that. it is just something about night.
so, in true ie form, i am looking at this as a learning experience. i have learned something about myself and my habits, and i am going to try and figure out why it is that i do that. i suspect boredom, along with old habits with the bingeing (it was always at night). so one of my goals for this week is to be very aware at night and to work around this issue.
surprisingly, i don't feel awful like i normally do after something like that. granted, this wasn't a binge or on the level of how i used to be in the past, but some would still view it as a "slipup".
well, not i anymore. i see it as a lesson and part of the process to becoming an intuitive eater. i have actually benefitted from it. in the past, nothing good came from those episodes. nothing. now, i have learned something about myself that will help me in the end.
for breakfast this morning, i thought peanut butter and jelly toast sounded good.
so that's what i'm having, on yummy whole grain bread. i love the nutty taste of good, whole grain bread. i also have a banana as a snack in case i get hungry before lunch, or after lunch. who knows.i'm thinking subway sounds good for lunch. i didn't have time to make a lunch this morning, so it will have to be out. but i've been craving subway for a while...so i think that's what i'll have.
i'll update later.
