Eating while I decide what to eat?
YIKES!!!!!
Do you ever do that? Eat while you are deciding what you are going to have to eat?
I used to do it all the time. Rifle through the cupboard or fridge to find something for lunch while I was munching away.
Hmmm wonder how I got to be so heavy
So 200+ calories later I wake up and smack myself. Put the damn chips away grab a carrot stick and procede to scramble up some egg beaters and put salsa on top.
Yummy a very good lunch that I really enjoyed.
Now if only I had that planned in the first place.
Old habits are hard to break and even once you think they are broken they can creep back in when you least expect it.
This was a very good reminder to me of why I NEED to have a meal plan in front of me.
It’s too easy to get off track when you are already hungry and easily distracted and pull in by foods that you really don’t want to be eating.
Another thing I used to do is if I was eating a meal that wasn’t particularly good but it was just OK I would finish eating it because it was already cooked or already on my plate or whatever.
Then I would go ahead and have something else to eat that I did like because I wasn’t satisfied by the blah meal.
Ugh that’s a lot of extra calories.
I never do that now, NEVER. If I don’t really like something I’m eating then I stop.
It’s gonzo.
My calories are WAY too precious to me to waste on food that isn’t good.
I have changed my eating habits a lot.
It’s good to have reminders of that especially at times when feeling down and feeling like it’s just a constant struggle and I’m not making any headway.
Good reminders. We all need those I think.
Have a great afternoon

Lori, that’s impressive girl! Glad to see you on here!
Ok, My secret, as I’m eating, I’m thinking about what I’m going to eat for the next meal and what I’m going to eat a snack thereafter. So bad….now I’m trying to enjoy each meal as a nice experience. No tv, no music, no paper…just me an my plate of goodies.
Love your motto girl - calories are too precious to waste. I’m going to use that.
Now I have to go eat lunch! Talk to you soon.
I do so much better when I plan my meals instead of winging it! Left to my own devices and whims, I can some make some pretty scary choices!
wow. what you just wrote, I could have written. Been there done that….but now I am DONE with that!
I have done this, too. So many times.
You have to have a plan, so do I. We really do have to weigh the calories, I don’t like to waste them. Great blog, lady!
You said:

OMG!! Can I relate? YES, you are so right…I was feeling pretty confident and then, SLAM! Old habits die hard!!
Your blog was just what the Dr. ordered by the way, so thank you for writing it, you have encouraged me to write out a meal plan, specially now that I am going to restrict my calories by A LOT!—THANK YOU!
This is such a great blog and a good reminder for me. So often I am hungry and preparing it is chomp chomp and then it is like, meal time, I am not even hungry. But the one thing I do consistantly, I do not eat what I do not like. There is nothing worse then eating a lot that you do not even like and then are still left wanting. Thanks for the awesome blog. *hugs*
love that you are blogging more! great insights into how you made success happen!
