How do you eat?!

[swish]

Z, I always eat at the same time, hungry or not. I do stop if I'm full but thisdoesn't often happen as I'm good at getting portion just right. If I fancied something I'd have it rather than wait but I don't tend to have sweets/chocolates in the house (I do now but not pre-swaying) I believe you can change your eating habits if you want to, we've all proved that! You obviously like sticking to rules and if it works for you, why not! X

This diet has made me realise how poor my eating habits have always been. I snack constantly - not because I'm hungry, but as entertainment. I've never been a big breakfast eater and normally try to have a healthy lunch, but then the eating begins. I snack in the afternoon, then always have a huge supper. I normally eat at least twice as much as DH, and I eat fast, so I have a bad tendency to not notice I'm full until I've eaten too much. One thing that's driving me crazy about the LE diet is that I never really feel 'full'. Tonight I finished supper and was desperate to eat something else, but I'm almost at my maximum for protein and sodium already. After the kids are in bed, I normally snack while I watch TV or read - it's how I relax. I go through periods when I snack mostly on fruit, but other times it's stuff like chips, chocolate and ice cream.

I am soooooo excited to be able to eat normally again (if you can call my old eating habits 'normal'), but I think I will always be much more aware of what I'm putting into my body. I am in total shock about how much sodium I used to eat.

Mochagirl you must be my twin as im just like you lol I really just eat out of bordom during the day and i have a bad relationship with food.I think i use it to calm me when im stressed,bored ect. I wish i could be one of those who CANT eat when stressed lol before i met dh i was likely primed for girls,i never really stressed,skipped breakfast and lunch daily then ate a normal dinner followed by an occasional yogurt before bed and i ate candy if i did eat during the day.Then i met dh and he always ate big bowls of ice cream,meat and plates of sharp cheese and i just followed his lead lol
