Having read nearly half of Shrink Yourself I am learning that I experience a 'phantom' hunger due to my own self-doubts. I need to attack that voice in my head that is causing the self-doubts head on, and today I did a good job. I resisted food by solving my problems instead of burying them with food. This is probably an overestimation, since I ate a lot of veggies but with no butter or anything but I"m not sure how to appropriately measure calories in them.
I'm getting quite sick so I couldn't make it to the gym today. Will aim for tomorrow but I'll see how sick I am.
My goal for tomorrow is to listen to my body and to take back the power that I have given away. I need to take back conscious control of the fact that I can trust myself to make logical decisions toward my weight loss goal.
Hey Lexa. I think that was the best post of yours. You're making huge progress and I think you've got this food thing figured out. Congratulations. It's the first step, and combining it with gaining some confidence...you're going to go far. Awesome job, girl!
ReplyDeleteLexa,
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Lisa that this is one of your best posts to date. You are making forward progress. I would suggest if you are hungry in between meals to have a glass of water first. If you are still hungry then have a low glycemic portion of veggies or fruit. That will tide you over until the next meal. I recommend a scale to measure food. i first bought a dial scale that only did ounces. I then upgraded to a digital one that does ounces and grams and other measurements that I will never use. It can fit in my back pocket. I don't take it with me but it's that small. I found it on ebay for around 20 bucks. Great work!!! Sorry to hear that you are sick. Get well soon, and remember to take a good multi vitamin while you are dieting.
C-ya tomorrow
