If I eat late at night, I weigh more in the morning. Fact.
I've tried this a few times now and the next day I feel more bloated, more lardy and...weigh more.
I've also noticed that I have stopped savouring my food and have wondered if it's because I am eating too much. I mentioned this to the expert friend and she confirmed that it was a possibility.
I've already forgotten just how little food I need each day - obviously it wasn't a Route to Management phenomenon - and as I have kept overriding my hunger signals, I am not enjoying what I eat and I am putting on weight.
It's incredible how quickly old habits have come rushing back and new habits are too new to have been embedded.
What I really want to do is have a week of cutting back - maybe even abstinence - and just when I started to think about doing it, I gave myself all sorts of reasons why I couldn't - events coming up, etc. And that is, apparently, what Tony Robbins calls rationalisation - giving myself reasons why I can't do something. I believe it's crooked thinking and Peridot that's why I think yours is crooked thinking too.
I have to ask myself, what's more important? To get my weight back to what I am happy with or eating and drinking more than I need? It's a no brainer yet my crooked thinking will make me believe it's anything but!
Just thought I'd drop in to say Hi, as I've been off the blogging scene for a while. I'm just trying to catch up with everyone's blogs which will hopefully keep me on track.
