NowIunderstand's Journal, 29 August 2014

I have my weigh in tomorrow. I don't know if I did well or not, but I've had an awful week because of dieting.

I started with the water. Seems, drinking water, I was always thirsty, so therefore, always either getting water or at the washroom. This in turn made it hard to get any deskwork done. Or anyway, I really feel that I was not that productive.

Another thing I realised, is that although, once I start eating, it's like I'm always eating. Although it's all good food, (a lot of fruit) it's like I'm continually grazing. (like a cow!!!) And that is a pain in the butt. And this only starts after my first meal.

I want not only to diet, but quit this habit of always having something in my mouth, water or food. It's very time consuming.

I'm going to aim for (3) meals a day, period.

I remember working as a family's assistant for (1) year. And, when my employer came in, she would sit down and start reading her mail. And I'd asked her if she wanted coffee, or water, or anything. She declined. And me asking 'Are you sure'. And she declined again. She was rail thin. And upon later revisiting this episode, I thereafter concluded that it was unnatural, or just didn't jive with what I experience, to have someone just sitting somewhere, not smoking, not drinking, or eating. That experience taught me a lot about my own behavior. Why is it that with everything I do I need to ingest something!

This will be my homework for the week. Eat well only at given times and drink only when you're thirsty.

I need some rules and discipline.

I was having six small meals a day, and I did feel like all I ever did was eat. I switched it to three meals with two fruits as snacks and no snacking after dinner. I am happier with my plan. I'm sure you will do what is best for you. Good luck!

i switched to mostly 3 meals a day. i felt like i was grazing too much with smaller meals and i would never get full.

I eat 3 meals and one or two snacks during the day. As long as you stick to your RDI or allowed weight watchers points you're good.

Well, I did have a gain. Even if I was in my allotted WW points. It had to be all of the fruit. (I hate a whole lot). The weather was very humid and the hot flashes didn't help. I also eat when I experience anxiety (in my work I must do estimates, with barely any guidelines), so I'll grab something to soothe myself. I think this is it. Food for me is soothing. I think you guys are right. (well, based on results you are!) Three meals a day, and two or three snacks. I'll call this Project No Snacking and report back every day to keep focused. I'll start today! I'm sure I'll have a weight loss.
