Hungry Day
 

I am having a hungry day today. However it is not stomach hunger. It is mouth hunger and brain hunger. I "want" to eat because I feel like it, and my mouth wants to be occupied.

I am trying to distract myself by doing chores and reading here, but I think I am going to make myself a huge salad for lunch too. A big bowl of shredded raw cabbage, celery, zucchini... anything I can find that has crunch. I'll throw a can of tuna over it for protein. That ought to help AND keep me from developing stomach hunger too.

I really, really want this weight off. I will fight to get it!

I had a day like that yesterday. Keep fighting, and I will too!! :hug:

I have days like that too. I have a nice bowl of SF candy at my desk that helps, and gum. Usually though its water, lots and lots of water.

Get yourself some of that Extra dessert gum!! It's going to be my lifesaver I swear!

Yesterday was a hungry day for me, my body was rebelling to me getting back on plan and having a bit of a calorie deficit. Crunchy, healthy food is a great idea, Lyn! Spearmint gum also helps me immensely, as does tea. I woke up this morning pleasantly hungry for breakfast but not ravenously shaky, as my hunger was telling me I should be (yesterday evening), further solidifying for me that head hunger and body hunger aren't to be confused!

I am also having a hungry day. It's hard to be mindful on days like this.

I'm having the same day Lyn.
The scale has been stuck on exactly the same number for 7 days in a row now and it's driving me mad, but I will not give in.
Things are screaming at me to eat them today that don't even usually bother me, and hubby nearly got his head bitten off earlier when he had a mince pie with his coffee lol. They're not even something I LOVE but once I saw his I NEEDED one, but I want to see a lower number on the scale more than that mince pie, at this minute anyway....

Ugghh... that's today for me too!

The scales are stuck... and I am losing motivation quickly.... and on top of that... I've been hungry all day!

Days like these are what separates the winners from the losers girl... hang in there!

I have days like that so "I eat" but I choose good portions and healthy foods! And Filling foods too and sometimes I'll do another work-out to just release those hormones in my body that offer the appetite suppressent. Good Luck

Lynn....good plan!
