Eatin' Right and Feelin' Great

Last night after the kids were in bed I was "so hungry" I couldn't stand it.  I knew I'd eaten well all day and had enough fat for the day (that's what triggers my feeling hungry, not eating enough fat in a day) so I used the five minute rule.

I sat down to watch TV and brought two important things with me:  a bottle of seltzer and some knitting.  I told myself that I would sit on the couch and if I was still really hungry after the first commercial break I could have something to eat.  I drank some of the seltzer and started to watch TV and knit.  I had some more seltzer and by the first commercial break I wasn't really very hungry, so I knit some more and by the second commercial break I wasn't hungry at all.

So, I didn't eat anything and I lost a half a pound yesterday.

Go me!
