Day 2.
Today is a great example of how tracking helps me make better choices, strictly out of awareness. I ate pretty poorly today. Mac'n'cheese - yummy empty calories, chocolate chip cookie, more empty calories, fries, again, and then taco bell. Totally not winning awards for all that. But. The context is a different story, and I actually consider most of today a win.
Work provided lunch from Noodles & Co - rather that fully load my bowl I took a much more meager amount (weighed, no - eyeballed, yes). As I got to the end of the bowl I still felt hungry, but rather than immediately go back for seconds, I waited a few. When I was still hungry I grabbed some salad instead. So that felt like a win. Yeah, I ate a cookie for a snack (not as good as Jimmy John's but whatever), but I also know that I can't deprive myself of the things I want, because that is more likely to lead to binging.
Dinner, fries and TB, doesnt really seem like much of a win either, except. Tonight was a pool night (like billiards, not the water kind) - which means hanging out at a bar/restaurant where the server will easily bring me 3 or 4 diet cokes if I ask. Also, my usual fare is some not great option like a platter sized burrito, or chicken tenders and fries and ranch. Yes, I munched on fries, but I didn't do what I could have. And then TB...the first one was closed. It takes dedication to go to the next one, right? But that was instead of going to BK next door and getting a cheeseburger, fries, and shake.
Today could have easily been a 3500 cal day, but it wasn't. So, despite my poor nutritional content, a win.
