Why am I doing this?

Hello everyone or no one... ... I have started this blog as a sort of diary. I haven't been all that happy with my physical self as of late and am beginning to remedy these feelings. I thought that this might be a good place to go when I have things to say and no one to really say them to. So enjoy, laugh at, or relate to all that is to follow. Andi

Hunger Pains

Don't you hate it when your stomach's growling, but you just ate?  I am finding it interesting this time around as I am trying to re-train my brain to recognize actual hunger vs. habit or cravings.  It's always been that I would eat dinner and no matter how full I was I would want a dessert right away... something sweet.  This also happens to me in the middle of the night.  I wake up and can't fall asleep unless I have something to eat.

Even tho' I am working on this by 1) eating slowly (try putting the fork down inbetween every bite) and
2) keeping low point snacks available around the house.  So far I've been trying things like:
  • sugar free jello and pudding
  • special K cereal
  • Individual size Popcorn
  • granola bars
  • Twizzlers
  • veggie chips
  • yogurt
Hope these things keep working... variety is the key... and it will be a challenge to keep coming up with new things.
