This whole battle can be boiled down to
- what?
- when?
- how much?
My normal “weight loss” day should look like this:
7 am – noon: 2 mugs of coffee, porridge, mug of tea, banana
noon – 6 pm: soup and crackers or cottage cheese and fruit, a couple of clementines, mug or tea
6 pm – bedtime : dinner with lots of veg, some carb and protein, a glass of wine, mineral water, decaf tea
My recent, “I can’t be bothered” day looks more like this:
7am – noon: 2 mugs of coffee, porridge, mug of tea, cracker with peanut butter, banana
noon – 6pm : soup and crackers or cottage cheese and fruit, a couple of clementines, piece of cheese, mug or tea, crackers, crackers, a couple more crackers.
6pm – bedtime: dinner with lots of veg, lots of carb and protein, 3 glasses of wine, mineral water, tea, crackers with butter & jam
The difference between losing weight and not is a few crackers, a bit of cheese, a dollop of peanut butter, a couple teaspoons of butter and some extra wine.
What’s with me and crackers?
The bigger question is what’s with me and needing to feel full when I’m feeling stressed?
Today I’m going to experiment with noting both my emotional feelings and my hunger levels throughout the day. I’m going to see what happens when I’m both stressed and hungry. I wonder if I really do just cease to exist? Or explode? Or fade away to nothing?
If I’m not back here tomorrow, you’ll know.
