Food paranoia
Yesterday was a BAD food day. Diabolical to say the least. Hangover food day = not good for the health. Last night I went to bed, waking up every 10 minutes paranoid and anxious. It was like everytime I started drifting off to sleep my body was waking itself back up (either that or my snoring woke myself back up). I…

Gentle Eating
Has anyone tried this, or have any thoughts about it? I have really been thinking about something I heard about a while ago: people who chronically overeat do not enjoy food as much as people who eat less. They can see that the pleasure center of the brain doesn't "light up" as much for an overeater when they consumer food…

Eating More Frequently
I decided to start eating 5 small, evenly spaced "meals" instead of 3 bigger ones. I realize that eating 3 bigger meals for too long will result in my binging on junk food despite allowing myself to have the treats I want in moderation. I also realize I eat junk just because I want to eat, so I figured if I planned ahead…

Every single day that I have tracked I've ended up drastically under my calorie budget. I know how dangerous this is, and I have actively tried to eat enough every single day.
