I was worried about today. I was worried about being in work and having to eat when it was time to eat rather than when I felt hungry. What if it got to lunch time and I was ravenous? Or worse ... what if I got to lunch time and I wasn't hungry at all and then after lunch I was starving?!
Well, I got to breakfast time and had beans on toast ... I forgot one of the rules which is to eat slowly and enjoy every mouthful. I shovelled it in while talking and paid no attention to it. I'm not sure if I enjoyed it or not. I think my beans might have been a bit cold.
Anyway, by lunchtime I needn't have worried. I was a little hungry but not starved. I made a conscious effort to pay a bit more attention while I was eating and pause between mouthfuls. I had leftovers of the chorizo pasta hotpot which is just delish (it was also the first time I had put anything other than liquid soup in the pink flask ... it worked). I had brought with me a yoghurt and three plums too but I was full before I had finished my pasta.
Yes, I left some on my plate again.
This is starting to freak me out.
Maybe this actually does work?
The main challenge of today has to be not going to get weighed at weight watchers. (Well, not getting weighed at all is a bit odd but strangely liberating.) I still have a few weeks left on my monthly pass but I am not supposed to get on the scales for two weeks so there is no point going. I'm not bothered about missing the class but I was a little bothered about telling my mom I wasn't going with her. She was OK about me not going and even requested a copy of the CD for herself if it works. I did get the feeling she is a bit sceptical about it, but then when I was explaining it to her (like when I was explaining it to hubby) it all sounds soooo obvious when you say it out loud that it can't possibly make any difference. All I know is that I feel completely calm and in control. I am enjoying food without stressing out about the number of points that may or may not be present and I haven't craved anything or binged since I started out.
Also, I did the 30 minute "Kick Fit" from the Davina DVD after work ... it rocks! Loads of fun. However, I skipped the abs section right at the end in favour of getting in my listen of the CD as I was short of time. The cat insisted on miawing and climbing on me during my twenty five minutes of "mind reprogramming" and the next door neighbours grandkids were leaving, slowly and noisily, right in the middle of it too. Maybe tomorrow I'll get chance to listen to it uninterrupted from start to finish? I won't hold my breath lol.
