This is the thirty sixth day in my life without food.
The scale said down 3.6 this week. That's a total of 35.9 in 5 weeks. I am happy happy happy, down is always better than up I say.
Last night in fat class we discussed food triggers. You know, like smelling popcorn in the movie theater, fresh baked anything while walking through Willams Sonoma and of course anything and I do mean anything on a BBQ grill.
My fat class teacher referenced H A L T last night which is used in many 12 step program when talking about triggers --
H - Hungry, like I need to be hungry to eat. The point being that if you eat all of your meals and don't skip you will tend not to overeat at any particular seating.
A - Angry, because we all have a tendency to bury things and it's going to come out somewhere, why not in a bag of chips?
L - Lonely, though obvious this one usually manifests itself in me as boredom, nothing to do or no one to talk to, let's eat!
T - Tired, long day at the office, puppies barking their heads off, cranky pants eats the wrong thing...again. Having your meals planned is the key.
None of these things is new to me, however, keeping them top of mind isn't always what I do which is why I go into a walking food coma and gain weight. Sometimes I just wish I didn't have to think all...mindless eating can be fun but usually results in a wardrobe of Mumus.
I have the mumus to prove it.
