Observation

[Guest guest]

It just dawned on me that a few months ago I used to snack my way

through the day because I was afraid of getting hungry. And then I

would still have my " meals " . After keeping snacks in my desk drawer

at work because the diet industry always said to eat every couple of

hours, I would eat all day long and then still go home at 6:00pm and

eat a huge meal or snack my way through the evening in front of the

TV. Last night I realized that I'm usually not hungry any more

right when I get off work. So I find things that keep me busy when

I get off work. Sometimes I do an exercise video or go for a walk.

But I have been working on getting some projects done around my

house. So last night I was painting trim work. I usually don't get

hungry until around 8:00pm and I then will fix something to eat. I

find I know eat much lighter and then I really am hungry in the

morning. I used to force myself to eat breakfast every single day.

Sometimes I eat before I go to work, sometimes I take something with

me and eat a bit later. But I really like how I am able to listen

to my body and let it decide when I need to eat. And it's so

freeing not to just sit in front of the TV and eat all evening

long. And I love getting stuff done! Isn't IE great!
