One thing that's been working for me lately was WAITING after a meal for the food to settle. My main problem is that I eat too fast so I'll eat alot in a little bit of time to feel full.
I've been waiting after my meals before running for something else & it's actually been working better for me.
Bew, I cannot BELIEVE that Hejira was EVER overweight! What an inspiration!
One thing that I did at the begining--and it seems a little weird-- is that I was not waiting until I got hungry between meals. Normally you would think "Don't eat unless you're hungry" but that doesn't work (for me) because that's when I think about all the things I don't have to eat. (Like the hot wings, and the chocolate.)
I am --trying to!-- eat every four hours, so when I eat I'm not famished or overly rumbly, honestly sometimes not even hungry....and this helps me to not consume so much.
Today I didn't do so well. I had hot cereal from Kashi for breakfast, along with a glass of milk around 7 and by 9 I was hungry. Normally at that time I get a piece of fruit because I can't seem to eat the oatmeal, milk and the fruit all together in the morning, however this morning I went to the grocery store for something else and ended up buying a deli sandwich there and eating half of it along with some hummus and grape tomatoes. It was just roast beef, cheese, lettuce and tomato-- no mayo or anything like that-- but (for some reason) that just totally hit the spot.
I finished the other half for lunch along with a little bit of the veggie soup I packed, and ate my usual snack in the afternoon...BUT... I wasn't hungry at all during the day after I ate that (well, duh it was a 6 inch sub sandwich).
Here's what I am wondering as I sit here and type:
Is it possible for your body to anticipate what you're going to give it-- if you eat mostly the same things during the week-- and if so is there a way your body can "trick" you into feeling like you want more than you need?
I realize that sounds a little crazy, but that's what I'm thinking! [:)]
For the last 3 weeks I've had that Kashi hot cereal for breakfast. It would last me until lunch, not a problem. Now, all of a sudden that doesn't seem to get me through. It's weird.
Here's my plan for tomorrow:
Eat the cereal, have an egg along with it. See if that helps. If it does, I'll need to figure out a way to add in more protein for breakfast because I don't see myself frying an egg every morning and I don't care for scrambled.
Any thoughts?
BTW-
Hejira is totally hot and she is an inspiration! ;)
