Hovering

Okay, I've been hovering between 148 and 150 for the last week, and I've just about had enough.

Time to get my head out of the sand before I pull a Kirstie. I know what the issues are. In fact there are three of them:

1). I don't get my allotment of freggies in each day.
2) Too many bread products, even if I am within my caloric budget.
3) Not listening to hunger / satisfied body signals even if I am within my caloric budget.

There's the crux. I stay within my caloric budget, and I shoot for green, but I am seriously FULL. I eat what's on my plate instead of stopping when I'm satisfied.

So I'm going to commit to ONE thing today that I will focus on for the next week. When I have that back under control, I will choose another focus. My ONE thing this week is this: No matter what is on my plate, I will stop eating when I am satisfied.

That's it. I will wrap it up. And if I'm hungry in an hour, I'll unwrap it, nuke it, and eat it. I don't care if it's one bite or half a plate, I'm NOT going to finish when my stomach is telling me I'm satisfied. I've had too many moments of "oof, I should have stopped earlier and now I feel bloated" lately, and I'm not liking it. If I eat under my calories, is it going to kill me? NO. In fact, maybe, JUST maybe, it'll get me down around the 145 mark or lower, which is where I really want to be.

The freggies I've been putting back in all week. So I feel like I already started on that one. And yes, I'll cut back on the bread products... but I really feel the need for this focus.

I keep thinking of Oprah saying to Kristie, "You give yourself leeway for five pounds and twentyfive pounds later you're saying what the hell happened".

I REFUSE TO BE A STATISTIC.

Anyone care to join me?

Thanks for listening,

Dee

If I could just master that ONE thing I'd be laughing! It's seriously the hardest thing ever! I WILL get there...eventually!
