Well I am officially in a groove of better eating. Not perfect by a long shot but I was struggling SO MUCH with binge-eating and constant carbo-loading for most of last year. When I got scared straight by my borderline high glucose tests, I finally got back into the mode of "not for me" - which is the single most helpful strategy I have found when it comes to food (that and planning ahead). Meaning that I don't engage in an ongoing negotiation with myself about whether to eat something unhealthy/off plan... the answer is simply "no, that's not for me, end of discussion." This is something I learned from
The Beck Diet Solution by Judith Beck.
OK all that being said, I am not
completely following my plan
- just making infinitely better choices when I do diverge from my plan
Today, Phase 2ish, mostly the same as yesterday due to leftovers
B - coffee with us almond milk, tofu scramble with broccoli (even better the next day)
L - "tuna noodle casserole" with cauliflower alfredo, edamame and shirataki noodles. White tea with lemon
Ss - celery, carrot, red pepper strips with Greek yogurt spinach dip. Almonds. Maybe a hard-boiled egg.
D - going to be tricky. My family is making a lasagna, with meat sauce so I won't be tempted, but I will try to make something similar for me ... need some zucchini or eggplant ideally. Will have a big green salad regardless.
dessert - also tricky - we are going to a birthday - there will be caaaake
