Had my first "I wanna eat everything not tied down" day

Not sure what was going on yesterday.  I am thinking it might have had to do with the lazy day on the couch, snowing outside, not wanting to venture out., sucked into the TV.

I wanted to eat everything not tied down.   It was head hunger, not physical hunger.   I bought these amazing clementines and just started eating fruit this weekend.  I could not get enough of them.  Thankfully they only have the 25 calories in them.

My other problem was not focusing on protein to keep me full.  When I calculated my calories they were only around 900 so it wasn't really that bad.  It just felt as if I was eating all day.

So, tonight its back to work, back to protein, back to set meal times, but it was scary to see this behavior in myself again.  I have to nip it in the bud and find other coping skills when I am bored.

Pick yourself up and dust yourself off and stand tall and proud. We all mess up, just get back to the basics. Good thing is you see the behavior and want to change it.

It might not have been how you wanted it, but if you didn't go over 900 calories, you couldn't have done too bad.  Plus there are a whole lot worse things than clementines to snack on.  So today is another day and you see the issues and can fix them.  You go girl.

I hate those days! I have them every couple of weeks. Sometimes I cave, sometimes I don't. I try to think about how hard I would have to work out to burn all of those calories, or any number of head games to not eat the junk. I am a very routine person and it always happens when my schedule gets messed up or I am really bored.

The head hunger never stops  .    This is one issue  they really dont tell U about ..well  maybe honestly because as normal sized normal appetited peopl e  maybe they just dont KNOW  .  

I Am INTIMATELY aquainted  withthe lil  devil  hat sits  on my shoulder  when i am NOT hungry and says  " eat MORE  " 

Gosh I HATE  that  nasty little beast   

what do I do when she whispers in my ear ?  I amke an OA  meeting a day to  keep her at bay ...I exercise  .... and i come here  and  account my food  and miles ....

That happens to me when I ovulate. Apparently we burn more calories then so that is probably why. But I crave carby stuff then and that isn't such a good idea.
