hungry?

you know, this only eating when hungry is not quite as difficult as i thought! it is freeing to know you can eat whatever you want just to stop when you're full. i am definitely an emotional eater so i still have to tell myself "you're not hungry, you're just (nervous, upset, discouraged, bored, etc)"
the other night i told myself, "you know you don't have to have something to eat while you watch tv" and at least for that night i didn't...

one day at a time!

so far...

so today i'm not eating unless i'm hungry...right now...i'm not hungry- but i wish i was!
so i'm going to try and distract myself...but just so everyone knows, while i am putting the wash away...i wish i was hungry so i could be eating a butterscotch krimpet tastykake...mmmmm :)

war...didn't go so well...

so i just finished reading the last blog i posted...it's so sad...i declared war...but alas, there was no war!

so here i am...may, 2 months later and the 30 lbs is definitely still there! i think i may have actually gained some more...i haven't hit the scale in awhile...i'm scared

i keep telling myself that my diet starts tomorrow...so that night i give myself permission to eat whatever i want...but tomorrow comes and goes and all i have done is pigged out again!



i read an article in a magazine about this lady who says it's not about dieting or restricting certain foods, but just stopping when you are full...it sounds like such an easy concept, but yet it is unbelievably difficult...at least for me, apparently for the thin population its not a problem!



maybe i'll try that...stopping when i am full....i'll let you know how that goes!
