few days in

A few days in and although im finding myself thinking about food im not
feeling hungry and sticking to breakfast, lunch and dinner and approx
2500 cals per day. Ive found a banana sorts me out when im feling hungry
so they will do fine for the odd snack when required.

Ive weighed my muesli and found a suitable sized coffee cup filled is
exactly 100grams of my muesli and thats how much i put in the bowl of a
morning. That will make it much easier in the morning by just filling
the cup. I just have to measure the milk now so I can round off my
breakfast to 500 cals.

I expect to make it through the weekend eating properly which will be an
achievement in itself.

Careful on the banana consumption as they are full of natural sugar and can
cause you to crave even more sweet stuff. They also tend to go through your
digestive system pretty quickly leaving you hungry again sooner. Not that
bananas are "bad" they are great for you nutrient wise in my opinion, just
need to be properly placed within one's WOE. Also, are you asking yourself
if your *really* hungry or are you what I term as head hungry? Meaning are
you just needing to satisfy a hand to mouth oral thing? Even a year and some
odd months into my WOE I still ask myself "are you really hungry suz?" every
meal/snack. It works for me.

I would exchange the banana for some nuts/seeds, beef jerky, sugar free ice
pops, pork rinds, fat-free cheese chunks, cottage cheese, strips of grilled
chicken, an avocado, or something leafy green with a splash of dressing
perhaps. Of course all of the above need to be portioned and accounted for.

Good luck with the weekend mini-goal, I think its very important to take
your new lifestyle one day at a time and remember you didn't get to your
current weight overnight, it will take time to get it off.. but it will go

Nice tweaking. A good attitude to adopt is the concept of adversity.
You *will* meet adversity. You *will* have challenges. The cool thing
is, you can knuckle down and face them and work through them and solve
them. That's the skill you were using when you figure out a way to
measure your muesli. Another person might have whined, "it's too hard
to tell!" :-)

Unlike Susan, I like bananas. I tend to eat my fruits with a bit of
protein, so I rarely have just a banana alone, but I think they're great
nutrients and very nice for keeping things moving, if you know what I
mean. One way we like to eat bananas is to slice a V out of the banana
and put peanut butter inside the groove. It's just a dite of
peanutbutter, but enough to make it stick to your ribs. (Another way to
look at it is it lowers the glycemic load of the meal.)

I eat bananas too. I frequently eat one during my Olympic lifting
workout, which I do after work and need some sugar in my system.

Congrats on the whoosh fairy visit, Dally :-)

Congratulations!

Thanks to you and Chris for noticing. I laughed when I saw Chris
congratulate me: she works that whoosh fairy pretty hard herself!
