OK help me out here folks.
What do you eat when your hungry but on a diet?
No not the answers of carrot sticks and celery either.
I am hungry and am finding that I am hungry all the time.
Thus I keep saying, don't eat.
Dumb I know.
BUT I do.
In return I feel guilty about anything I do eat.
And so I feel I should not eat.
Thus the vicious cycle starts.
Hungry, don't eat, get hungrier, finally eat and feel bad about it, go longer before I eat again.
I do not want a salad. Tired of them.
I do not want to eat steamed veggies.
I want to eat something filling....but not feel guilty for it.
Tonight we are having a cook out and I know I will eat then.
So, I feel I am suppose to wait and not eat all day since I can eat later.
Not right. I know!
Not logical. Understand.
But, how do you change that internal dialoge?
thats the time to work on eating rainbows!!! how many did you eat today? :)
ReplyDeleteI eat cottage cheese with pineapple chunks and a few unsalted Ritz crackers. Does the trick for me.
ReplyDeleteGreek yogart with fruit and a dusting of cinnamon.
ReplyDeleteRicotta cheese with lemon juice pureed with some splenda.
ricotta cheese with dark chocolate cocoa and a little vanilla (or almond extract) and a LF graham cracker.
Smoothie made with protein powder and LF or FF milk and frozen fruit
But please don't wait to eat until the BBQ - not eating all day because of a "bigger" meal later on is asking for trouble.
I wish i had some graet words of wisdom...i dont I eat what i want when i want and deal with the fact my assa is the size of 2 semis....
ReplyDeleteI did tag you on my blog...i hope yyou will pick it up...
Have a Apple with a Glass of Water,
ReplyDeleteHave you tried any of those 100 calorie packs they have out of cookies and other snacks. I have found when I want something sweet those are great.
Water, did I mention Water.. hahaha I feel like I am floating most days..
Not losing much weight but I am feeling better.. getting butt out of chair and away from the kitchen is helping me.
Have a Great Day!!
I hope the BBQ was great fun
Enjoy!
Good Luck Take care!
lots of small meals instead of no meal and a binge is better (easier said than done)
ReplyDeletehandful of almonds,string cheese,yogurt, air popped pop corn (nothing added), apple slices and peanut butter.
I find if I prep fruit a head of time or pre measure out "snacks" I'm more likely to eat better and less.
Good luck.
