Harder and Harder
By Administrator | April 9, 2006
The more I try to watch my food intake, the harder the task. Watching my calories tends to make me obsess about eating. At the moment, I seem to have no self-control, and I’m still eating much more than I need.
I’m also finding that my stomach is doing odd things; either it ‘growls’ to indicate I’m hungry when I’m actually not, or I eat and start to feel very nauseous. I can’t seem to find a middle ground. My new plan is to buy myself pre-portioned frozen dinners (the cheap $1 each kind), have Slim-Fast for breakfast and lunch, and have a couple V-8 Fusions for snacks - the V-8’s are a tasty new 8oz. fruit/vegetable mixture that’s supposedly a single serving of each. I’m hoping that having everything pre-set will help me avoid the trap of making an oversized sandwich when I’m hungry.
The trick will be to try to follow this regimen for the twenty-one days they say it takes to create a new habit. Twenty-one days, three weeks, can seem like a very long time. I’ve really got to try to do this for myself, though. I’m feeling more and more disgusted with the way I look and feel right now (more on that later - I’m off to go bike riding!).
