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!
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'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....
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
Hungry Day
