So scared to weigh. April 9, over a month since I have. I had a full blown conversation with myself tonight after dinner. It went like this:
Lady in need: I wake each morning feeling energized and excited about beginning my nutrition. I go about my day busily stick strictly to my nutrition values and schedule, even exercising most days. Then around 5 pm when I began to feel hungry and thinking about my “lean and green” meal and how I’m going to need to prepare it, I start to falter. I snack while preparing the meal. I over indulge in even nutritious foods. Then it just goes down hill from there the rest of the night. I watch TV while experiencing a full on snack attack, and it is no “snacksadent” it is premeditated and precisely executed with forethought.
The guilt, and disgust is only part of the nightly feeling of “I never want to eat again” that I experience.
Nutrition Coach: Ok, let’s look at how to stop this nightly 5 pm crash. When you begin to feel hungry, drink water or tea. Prepare your lean and green with ingredients you know are allowed, and measure and weigh them knowing you are only allowed 500 calories of lean and green. Every time you want to put something in your mouth, STOP and take a drink instead.
When it is time to eat, do it slowly, enjoy each bite tasting and savoring the flavors, set your utensil down between bites, after swallowing take a drink. Eat your last fueling at 8 pm
If you are tempted to eat out of boredom, have a drink near you, do something with your hands or leave the area of temptation. You fast for religious purposes 24 hours once a month, certainly you can handle no food after 8 pm until morning, right?
You must weigh at least once a week to keep in check, you must measure your lean and green to stay honest, and you must drink so you don't give into hunger pangs.
You can do it!
That is All.
