only eat when I'm hungry

While this seems to have gone to hell in a hand basket over the holidays, today I only ate when hungry and had healthy snacks. Yay!

This goal is just not consistent with the holiday season. I’ve developed a daily need (yes that’s right, I said need – don’t question it) for ghirardelli chocolate caramel squares. I get antsy around 2 or 3pm if I haven’t had my fix. I crave them. Yum.

It sounds so reasonable – but that’s probably the problem, being human, I don’t tend to be a reasonable or logical sort.
Do I really need all those lovely yummy chocolate treats and other goodies? Or perhaps I should ask – do I really want to be so dependent on food? Yes that’s the question. The answer is NO. I don’t want to eat to cheer myself up, to cure boredom, or just out of habit. It’s not like it takes away all the crappiness – it just fills time and enlarges my fat cells.
