Well - 12:05 p.m. came and went I was not hungry, but decided this would be the best time to eat lunch as I wouldn't be tempted to overeat. Yesterday I was starving by 11:45 a.m. after my banana and oatmeal breakfast - I'm sure there's some science for this, but my best guess has something to do with carbs/sugar and how quickly they break down. My two eggs, on the other hand, filled with protein did the job breakfast was meant to do!
Yeah for eggs.
I caved before noon yesterday and found myself in the kitchen (I work from home) pulling bread out of the pantry, ham and Swiss out of the fridge and (my guilty favorite) mayo. I love mayo! I could eat it on just about everything - that and Marie's Blue Cheese (oh man... I need a new mantra "white food is bad food").
That sandwich was so good... so flavorful... and so -- ugh! I felt so guilty afterward. I knew I made a bad choice, and while I was full, I was that "blah full", you know the kind of blah that forces you say to hell with it and grab a slice of pie?
Well, to my credit I didn't eat the pie; instead I climbed the stairs back up to my office and sat at my desk for the next 4.5 hours waiting for dinner. Grilled steak and homemade baked mac-n-cheese!
I should have logged it - but I didn't. I figured what was the use when I ate a large Costco hotdog (minus the bun) for snack at 10:30 p.m., that didn't satisfy because it was kind of gross, so I made a left over steak sandwich (with mayo), and a small bag of Doritos. (I'm embarrassed to even write it; I haven't even shared that little secret with my husband yet).
Today has definitely been a better day - and that's really all I can do right now, is just take baby steps.
If you've read this far... thanks - I need accountability in my life. (:
