You won't get this post until well after the fact, as I am away from anything remotely technical. Even 3G is hap-hazard up here... So it will all come down to official weigh-in on Thursday Night to see how I fair here. You see, we are camping. Um... It's December 19th, you say? Yup. Cold, you ask? Yup! And thus the difficulty. I'm not sure if it's just habit or if I am trying to keep myself warm... But I am EATING. Not the good kind of eating, the mindless bad kind. Luckily, as the packer of the food, all the food at hand is (relatively) healthy... With the exception of the freaking chocolate balls hubby bought along with the presto-logs at Canadian Tire! Grrrr. But i only had ONE of those! Woot Woot!
No. My problem isn't with unhealthy food... It's with PORTION CONTROL. popcorn? Not bad for you. Smothered in butter and a HUGE bowl to yourself? Yup. Bad. Ham? What!? You say... Ham is good for you! A whole bag of fresh cut ham? Nuh-Uh.
What it comes down to with me is MINDLESS EATING. I'm not hungry. I'm not even aware I'm eating at times. I KNOW what I should and should not eat. My cupboard is chock-full of kashi grain cereals and bars and my fridge full with kale and eggplant. All going stale or rotting away, because, well geez! I LOVE TO EAT! And that's not food! LOL
Honestly though, already, I have started to hear that little voice in my head (the GOOD ONE, don't panic!) that says "are you sure you want THAT?" and I have thought twice. "No. I DON'T WANT that!" with RVL, I am hearing the "No. I don't want that" more often.
Hmmmm. Just realized that I once again didn't eat dinner until ... Um...8:00!!!! No freaking wonder I was snarfing down stolen food! I had the rice ready (which I don't eat anymore!) at 6:30. And the salad, too... But Mr "I'm the one who cooks the meals" suggested I take out the FROZEN pork chops at 6:30. Did I mention we are CAMPING? No defrost setting on the counter top. (Before I get the flack: I don't pack the meat. I did not know it was frozen.)
So now, the next morning, in re-reading this... I am going to say that my mindless eating was due to the lateness of eating. There was mo mindless eating performed previous. In fact, we went to a children's party with Santa earlier in the day... Hot dogs and cheezies and chips... I brought my Pro-40 shaker and happily drank away whilst other snarfed down those yucky 'what are you made of?' dogs.
