Here's some things I've noticed from my soft opening in the last few weeks:
1. It's hard to remember to notice when you get full while you're eating. I often sit down to a meal and the next thing I know, I've cleaned my plate and I realize that I passed that point and then some without noticing. I have been getting better at this, but it took a good week to get the hang of.
2. My desire to snack hits me especially at night. We have a tendancy to stay up rather late every night. By the time 9-10 rolls around, dinner is a thing of the distant past! If my stomach is actually rumbling I sometimes give in and have a small snack. However, 95% of the time I am just peckish. These are the times that the temptation hits me the worst. The good news is that I won that battle last night! Hooray!
3. So far I have lost 3 pounds on the pre-diet enabling me to set my goal at an even lower weight for this blog. According to the blog I've actually lost 0 becuase I'm not counting my starting weight till today.
Daily Report:
I feel like I did pretty good yesterday. I didn't pay attention at breakfast, but only went a few bites over my full line. I ate a small lunch mostly because it was all that I brought, but I managed to be ok with it all afternoon. Dinner didn't happen until I was very hungry so I ate a little more than I should. However, I still kept it to a fairly reasonable portion. I had an intense battle after dinner to eat more. I had one Dove dark chocolate and was able to keep it to that! What a victory for me!
I have decided to rate each day's success as a more concrete, concise way to show progress. I'm going to rate my days from 0-10. A completely victorious day will be 10 and completely unsuccessful will be 0. A day where my wins and losses are even will be 5. Here we go!!!
Yesterday's rating:
7
