NowIunderstand's Journal, 10 April 2016

I've made a connection between budgeting/managing my money by writing all expenses down and doing the same for my food intake. I've accepted that it's the way to go to not overload on portions, and for the rest of my life. I call it self-management tools. Of course, eating healthy has to be part of the equation to ward off binges, and never ending cravings. (not to be mixed up with true hunger, which is manageable - cravings, on the other hand, drive me nuts)

Truth be told, I was often hungry in the evening, with little or no calories left. I live with it. I'm thinking it's the price I'm paying for overeating in the past. And, also, I see it as a window to the half of the world that does go to bed hungry and not because they are dieting...making this an opportunity to be grateful for what I have.

Interesting fact: Cameron Diaz was on Dr. Oz, and said she drinks a liter of water every morning on waking up. I tried it for the heck of it. It does bring you somewhat back to life..

Have a good Sunday Buddies!.
