Hey buddies,
Here's a journal to keep track of what's going on today.
2300 calories.. it's too much for a Saturday without any special meal!!!
The fact that I am craving for sugar does not mean I can replace it with whatever fatty or high protein food I find around me.
And craving for sugar does not mean that I need to eat every time I feel like it...
OK, time to observe myself and change!!!
This morning I visited the botanical garden of the university with my partner. It was fantastic!!! Bunches of flowers, exotic plants, desert plats and cool colorful frogs :)
We had a good time there, then went home and had a grilled steak (on the electric grill). It was super tasty, but I have eaten way too much.
OK, tomorrow I can compensate for it with walking before starting to work or working out with some DVD, at home before breakfast.
I also noticed I have really not the correct perception for food portions and calories... Have to train again for that.
I really see a difference in my behavior now and a few years ago, concerning food.
When I was studying at university, back in Italy, I was super careful with the amount of food I was eating, the kind of food and I was walking and working out more than now.
At some point, when my weight was just 50kg (110lbs) I was having no dinner or just a soup made of veggies and meat. When I noticed I gained a few kilos, I was very strict with myself, having less cake or sweets and reducing portions.
I had a higher self control.
What happened then?
I used food to compensate for bad emotions, at the time when my mum died, I was divorcing and moved from the Netherlands to Germany (yeah, it happened all within 10 months).
After that, I have been able to loose weight, since I had self control again, I started working out again and eating 'low sugar".
I have to be honest with myself, starting again to be more strict with myself!!! Food is fuel and not a concession....
OK, time to go back to work (yeah, I know it's Saturday afternoon...).
Life is good! :)
