Today was a munchie day. I just wanted to eat. I associate it to being tired today. When I am tired the need to snack kicks in. I have to admit I gave in a bit this afternoon, but it wasn't "bad" snacking; aka not stuff off the "do not touch" medifast list. But at the same time, I allowed myself to snack.
We spent some more time antiquing today. My dad loves antiquing; I was pretty much bored; but my dad loves antiquing and I love my dad so antiquing we went! But there are only so many old things that i can look at before the smell of moth balls gives me a head ache and my eyes start rolling back in my head. Towards the end of our excursion I waited patiently in the car. I learned from yesterdays mistake and I put bars and water into my purse so that I was prepared for the days activities. Does it matter that I wanted to eat all my food within two minutes of getting in the car to leave, yes because that is just not ok! Although I have thought about food pretty much all day today, I have been able to also make myself wait until the right times to eat. (no need to pat me on the back for such amazing self control). That being said, when we got home I pretty much threw all of that self control went out the window. (see if you had patted my on the back, you would have had to take it back at this point! lol) I had a little turkey and some almonds and some pickle spears. Told you I had the munchies. What are the munchies really? I think it is just our minds way of saying we need to do something so lets eat. Why not say, lets play on the internet, or read or sew something. And have you ever realized how hard it is to NOT give in to the munchies? Obviously I haven't figured out how to not give in to them yet, so there I was munching. The only reason I stopped was because we were leaving for dinner. YEAH dinner!
We went out for dinner to a really great place. Pricey but worth it in my book. Self control was taking a back seat today. At dinner, I wanted one of everything on the menu, but I narrowed it down to the special of the day and that was pretty much the best decision I made today. After the salad and my broccoli, I couldn't even eat a 1/4th of my entree. WHAT?!??! I was so full. (not in a bad way, just full) Aparently, as my life coach said, my stomach has shrunk. Ok puhhhhleaassee, shrinking stomachs? What is that? Did my stomach not DEMAND food all day today and now it decides that it is full and has shrunk! Guess almost a month on Medifast will do that to you. Don't get me wrong I am glad it has shrunk then it won't take so much to satisfy the stomach monster. He has learned to live on normal portion sizes as of lately and although I know for a while he was not happy he is learning to accept what he is given and not be soooo angry! But if my stomach has shrunk why do I still get the munchies? And why does it seem like nothing will satisfy it? Hopefully one day I will figure out the answers to these questions until then they will remain a mystery!
Let us sing a song (to the tune of 3 blind mice)
