I Hate Hungry Days
Friday, August 29th 2014
You all know what they are. We have all experienced them. Our weight loss journey is cruising along at a reasonable pace then one day, apparently for no reason whatsoever - WHAM!!- you wake up famished and have to crank up the vigilance as you move about this food-filled world in which we live.
Somehow we manage to weigh and measure our food just like we have learned, but there is that little devil on your shoulder whispering in your ear, "forget about leveling off the scoop, a few more...
