stop eating when i'm not hungry for the next 4 weeks.

I eat more when I am at home than I do when I am out with friends I guess I just realized this. I had been out for the past week and came home and not even realizing went straight to the fridge to grab something to eat. I stopped myself and thought, “I am not hungry why am I eating?” When I was out with friends I would only eat if my stomach felt empty but as soon as I got bored at home I would reach for the fridge is this normal. I also weighed myself to see if anything had changed and actually that week I had lost 10 lbs and I wasnt trying. It just happened because I had only been eating when I was hungry and had been more active. I want to push myself to only eat when I am hungry for the next for weeks. I will keep this updated with my progress.

but I did really well and made conscious decisions not to eat when all I was at the time was bored…like now for instance…lol. I keep thinking I want a candy bar…but I know that’s hormones and boredom talking…so I refuse to go to the vending machine and give in.

I’m extremely tired today and when you are tired your body thinks it needs fuel so it makes you feel hungry when you really aren’t…I find myself wanting to eat, even though I know that on any other day what I’ve eaten thus far today would be sufficient…but because I feel tired and weak I keep thinking about food. I know it’s just a side effect of some medicine I took last night making me feel tired, but it sure is making this goal a tough one today.

Though I did do a little mindless eating over the weekend…it was mainly because I had bought the stuff to make these chocolate banana wontons that I haven’t had in a while and I couldn’t wait another day to have some…but I did limit myself to 2 of them…I only made 1/2 of the recipe and shared with my family.
So all in all I’m doing really well for me!

So far I haven’t done much mindless or stress eating since I set this as a goal…a couple of times…but I promised myself that everytime I did I would add an entry to this goal…and that accountability seems to help keep me focused on accomplishing this goal…thanks 43 things!

I don’t think I was really so much physically hungry as mentally hungry when I ate that No Pudge Brownie…it was just sitting there…on my desk waiting for lunch…so it was calling my name…but still I’ve done better than usual so far this week…so I’m going to say this goal is a work in progress.
