Cell Phone alarm timers...

Just a ramble from someone trying to figure things out!

So part of why I a so big is that I havean eratic schedule... I eat whenever, however, and sometimes all the time. One of the regulars here ( jean I think... too busy to look her up :( )  says to eat at specific times. I just could not get my head around it. I know controlling the quantityof what I eat i important, but i think my eating schedule may knock things out of the park... this is my second day and i like what I am doing so far.

I have set a vibration alarm ( noone else eeds to know! )  on my cell phone...for 830, 1130, 230, 530 and 830. and my rules are to eat within 20 minutes either side of those times and no other times at all~~~.  I didn't eat at 830 last night because i wasnt hungry. ( I did have a cracker at 1130pm because I took a pill and needed something to take it down~ but that was not a biggie~today i had forgotten that I had an 1130 setting and when my alarm went off I was shocked and didn't need to eat... I think these boundaries may help... they are in 3 hour increments and that seemed really manageable. i ate way less than the days before...

im shocked!  thanks Jean or whoever for helping me through this journey... hope this helps someone else...

Im grateful today for my cell phone~

Eating on a schedule really helps me, too.

I liken myself to the monkeys at the zoo --- the zookeeper comes around every few hours -- when he is not there, it is not time to eat.

I work from home most of the time, and I am alone in the house -- I have to keep to a schedule, or I am tempted to eat all day long.

Your timetable is much like mine --- 3 of my mealtimes are about 300 calories and 2 of them are around 100 - 150 calories.
