Today after school Beth and I went to IP for dinner (shocker, right? I'm happy that she's sticking pretty closely to ETL....she's doing so well, and if a little vegan Indian food at my favorite restaurant will help her cheat with out cheating, who am I to say her nay?) and were talking about food addictions. I'm pretty sure that I'm more addicted to food than some people (and by the same token less than some people as well) and am grateful to have found something that helps me eat healthily and avoid binges for the most part.
That being said, whenever I get discouraged about my progress or stressed about something, my first reaction is often still to go eat something. Tonight J and J came over and we were seeing how much M weighs. I got on for kicks and weighed 3 pounds more than I did this morning. I know that weight fluctuates throughout the day and the amount of clothing I was wearing contributed too, but my first thought was that I should go drown my "sorrows" in my India Palace left-overs. I forbore, though, not being hungry. I am the boss of me!
Tonight as we were coming home from the restaurant, and Beth said something about being the Body Boss. I AM the boss of my body. I'm trying to do better about listening to my body instead of letting outside influences (stress, addictions, etc.) dictate the quality and quantity of what I eat.
Today's stats:
W: 136.8 (this morning's weigh in)
E: pm yoga
B: banana and walnuts
L: spinach and salad mix with carrots, mushrooms, and my bean, corn, tomato, spices mix, and two mini oranges.
D: rice, bindi aloo, and a banana.
