View NIKKI8's food & exercise for this day
We are going to a car show today (we have a 54 Chevy) and then coming home and bbq-ing. Just my hubby and kids.
So I am faced with the decision that we are all faced with: to go off plan (allow myself triggers) because it is a holiday or stay on plan. As I was thinking about this, I thought of the self-hatred that would ensue if I went off my plan, holiday or not, those self-condeming feelings would be there. It's just not worth it.
So, no triggers today. I am going to be mindful of my hunger level and what my body needs.
I had some trouble last night.
I made a big jello mold of a flag with my son. I had way too much of it. I love jello with cool whip. And I kept having more and more.
And later I still had my icecream with hot fudge!
Not good choices and the self-condemnation continues.
Letting go of yesterday, learning from it and focusing on good decisions today.
Food Report
So far:
B-chcoc. cherry protein pancakes
S-zonebar
L-pineapple whip (combination between sherbert and icecream, no fat and low cal, but I had mine and I finished Collin's )
S-Cheese puffs
and a coke
D
I did have cheese puffs which are in the chip category for me. But I did only have a serving, I think-maybe a little more. I don't know.

We are good on the plank recipes because we bought the cookbook that goes with them, but thanks! Plus, Kevin is in charge of making the recipes that cook on the planks!

So, how did you do avoiding your trigger foods? I failed miserably at paying attention to hunger, but I'm putting a positive spin on it.
:) To answer your question, I keep a hand written journal where I write down the things my therapist asks me to journal about - i.e. try to note how I'm feeling - physical and emotional - when I either have the urge to eat or already ate in an unhealthy way. I suppose I could combine the two and just keep one journal.

it doesn't sound like you've done too badly so far.
:kiss: but I think being mindful of what you are actually hungry for is important. unfortunately that function on my body seems to be broken right now ...
