Carol, how do you do with drinking water? It is really the only no calorie natural aid in diminishing hunger. There is actually a way to diminish hunger. It is mistakenly said to shrink your stomach. We can't do that but the body does adjust quite nicely into training it with smaller portions. That is the gist of IE where we no longer eat until full, but instead until satisfied. Grasping that concept and staying with it a few weeks really retrains the tummy. It is a raity for me to feel hunger at all. Another concept is when the stomach growells people assume that means hunger. It does not always. It is the process of the stomach acids breaking down stomach content, or something like that as I explain in layman terms. I did not think this up but someone told me when their sdtomach growls they take it as a sign that God wants them to pray--it has been too long.
Yesterday was not as good as Monday. I mindlessly ate potato chips and it was not from hunger or craving, just sheer boredom and wanting to chew. Once I eat junk, I eat more junk. I also ate too early in the day and that leads to overindulgence the entire day, at least for me.
1/2 cup skim milk
coffee
water
1 egg
1 slice rye bread
1 TBL light mayo
1 tomato
1 slice Munster cheese
1 cranberry muffin
1 banana
8 oz of spaghetti with mushrooms, ground round and Parmesan cheese
probably about 4-5 handfuls or more of potato chips
1 candy bar
As I read this list, I wonder what in the world I was thinking of, and I realize there was not one prayer said regarding meals yesterday. Ouch!
