Day 4 of the Worst Experiment Ever - Goal.. only eat real food when my body signals it's hungry, don't track calories, don't listen to the clock, and above all else.. question my sanity.
I have probably eaten more today than any other day. This is mostly because we were out running around for lunch when everyone got hungry so I had a grilled chicken sandwich and probably what amounted to a small fry before I said Ok I'm satisfied. Not exactly on the meal plan but I managed it pretty well. I'm moving on and just following whatever cues my body gives me from this point forward. Right now it's telling me to nap.... I informed the tiny humans I live with of this and both boys laughed at me.. then told me to be a horsey..
The experiment does seem to be going pretty well. I've been told by just about everyone I know that they couldn't do this. Apparently I'm not the only one that questions my body's sanity. It does seem to know what it's doing though.. I have more energy, my pants don't feel like they are attempting to strangle me to death, I'm more.. mellow?? I haven't screamed at my kids like a crazy woman for the last 2 days, and according to fitbit I'm not as restless when I sleep. It's possible my inner self is an eccentric dingbat that may know more than I've been giving it credit for.
Day 4 or 5 is usually where I crash and burn on any eating ideas I have so the rest of this weekend will be the real test. :)

Great for you - you can stay with it, and see results - I just have a feeling about it.

I initially lost a good amount of weight by only eating when I was hungry and stopping before I was full...at about 75-80% full, and focused on quality food. I agree with HCB...this will probably work for you!

Looks like you're getting some very positive results already! I'm following your experiment avidly.

I love your writing style; you are a good story teller. I can always picture your antics and I get a smile from your posts. Thank you. And of course, we're interested in your experiment. Who knows, maybe you'll inspire the rest of us to listen to our bodies a bit more.
