I pretty much eat the same things each week. This may turn into a very boring blog.
It amazes me how many carbs green beans have in them…17 carbs and 140 calories in 2 cups of green beans according to Fitday.
Low on water today. FInd it hard to get it all in when I don’t exercise. Will work on that.
Had moments of mouth hunger today but didn’t act on them. Did EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to help – it did. Drank water instead of eating. I know that diet is the largest contributor to weight removal NOT exercise. I just like food! I like to eat! That’s what got me here in the first place though so I must learn to NOT eat, even when I want to eat. Today I wanted to eat when not hungry because of stress. I was working on an order online that was not going well and it was frustrating. It was nice to name the emotion that was triggering me to want to eat. It was really nice to make the choice to NOT eat even though I wanted to. Each time I choose to NOT eat when I’m NOT hungry strengthens me for the next time.

Sybil,
Boy, could I relate to what you wrote. First, my diet is pretty boring to read also-mostly meat, eggs, cheese (real food!)
But I can SO relate to using food as my main buddy in life for about 40 years! I also love to eat, always have, and for a big part of my life I could eat anything and everything and stay the same weight. That finally changed-became pre-diabetic-probably had high blood sugar and insulin levels for YEARS before I started educating myself on the subject. Thank God, I’m a reader. And I also LOVE Gary Taubes’s book. Makes total sense to me. And have you noticed in the media generally, they are totally off track with all that and everybody just accepts that you need to exercise to get the weight off. Sorry this is so long. Keep at it.

Good day, Sybil.
It’s excellent that you’re identifying your psychological triggers.
I’ll try and learn from your example.
Thank you for posting your valuable experiences.
Be well!
