Week 1 - Day 5
Didn't weigh this am.
Kind of a weird day as I worked from home. I really wanted to tune into my hunger level this morning. I really think I was only eating breakfast out of habit and not really hunger.
So, I waited and waited and didn't get the littlest hunger pang until about 11am. I drank a little H2OJ and it passed. Probably confusing hunger with thirst. About 2pm I was definately hungry as I could feel my grouchiness coming on and DH reminded me I had not eaten yet today.
AAAHHH...so this is what hunger really is! Couldn't take time for a meal. The furniture movers were here as I had alot of furniture from my brothers place moved here today, mostly antiques that he inherited from my grandmother. Mom and dad wanted those to stay in the family and they have no more room so down to us they came. I was happy to receive them but it left me and DH pretty emotional today.
Sorry, I side tracked...so given that going on, I decided to have a hunger saver of 2 peanut butter crackers (you must spend 10 minutes eating them). I was then satisfied and able to holdout until supper tonight, my only true meal of the day.
Supper -
Ate 10-5-13
3/4 sandwich (whole wheat, turkey, roast beef, mayo, tomato, cheese)
5 barley flax chips
1/2 dill pickle spear
1/2 a can of diet dr pepper
I am going to ask the instructor about not eating at least 1200 calories a day and the issue around stalling. Will be interesting to see what their take is on this.
Busy weekend ahead, might not be here much. Sunday is family reunion, folks are flying/driving in from California, Missouri, Kansas, Florida, Virginia, Cape Cod, New York, New Hampshire. Will surely be great to see everyone altogether again. There will be about 70 of us and not even everyone is coming. I love having a large family!
Tomorrow is prep for the party, mani/pedi is the priority in the am. Making fruit salad and a pasta salad. Got the laundry done and house cleaned today.
Needless to say I worked from home today and didn't get too much done. Kinda blue around the office as 5 of my co-workers were laid off on Wednesday, things are starting to wind down for some folks who are "non-essential". We knew this day would be coming so no surprise.
Have a great weekend everyone!

I understand not wanting to eat when you're not hungry, but the evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of breakfast being a GOOD thing for maintaining a healthy weight, with skipping breakfast having a high correlation with obesity. If you're in the habit of eating breakfast, don't give that up!

Hm...I'm curious to see what your instructor says about the no breakfast thing. Exactly what you described was the norm for me before I lost weight and I know where that got me. For that reason I don't rely on my body's "cues" to tell me when to eat, and by eating regularly throughout the day, I'm basically never hungry and I like it that way. What? This isn't about me? Oh. ;)

Healthy, I don't think you will stay healthy . . . or lose weight . . . eating this way. Just sayin'. Hugs.

I advise against skipping or delaying breakfast, but it's your choice. It's the first fuel to stoke your metabolic fires.

Babs, I really like that hunger scale you posted the other day. Pretty interesting stuff. As for breakfast...I've always been a breakfast eater, eating prior to starting the day's activities. But now I just have a cheese snack first and breakfast is then delayed until perhaps 11AM. Not usually hungry when I first get up, but if I don't have something then, I'd be ravenous by the time I finish up with the dogs.
