I do mostly weighing and volume...I am not very good at eyeballing. I am also all of those things you mentioned about feelings ...but figured those were due to medicines and children. Lots of stress in my life.
For breakfast, I make myself eat cereal (multigrain cheerios) with 1% milk or plain oatmeal (I wasn't a breakfast eater until the Dr made me start doing it). Lunch is usually a salad with some cheese and croutons or sandwich/soup (today was grilled cheese and tomato soup...2% cheese, healthy bread, soup made with 1% milk). Snack was a banana or sometimes an apple with natural peanut butter. Dinner depends on lots of things but tonight was some leftover corned beef (1 oz) and a med potato (with 1 tsp yogurt butter and 1 tbs light sour cream). That isn't typical for me though. There are usually more/healthier veggies and a better protien.
I get at least 2 litres of liquid a day if not more. And I make myself work out once a day.
