gastropod's Journal, 21 January 2022

My typical spinach, mushroom, onion and pinto scramble with chipotle puree and cilantro. The way I make this it usually comes in at just over 400 cal. When I eat all of it with an English muffin, I'm really full. Today, once it was cooked, I divided it in two. Half for breakfast with the English muffin and black coffee (about 300 cals total). Half for later. I don't know about you, but I find if I eat a big portion of something, I end up hungry almost as soon as I would have if I only ate half of it. Today I'm testing that theory.

I especially want to try this with dinner. I'm always hungry just before bed and typically look at what I've already eaten and my FitBit calories burned to see how much more I could eat and still be in deficit. As a result, I always shrink that deficit just before bed and often wake up feeling guilty about that. I will divide my dinner in two and eat half at dinnertime. Then I'll eat the other half before I go to bed in the hopes that I wont be compelled to eat even more.

Best would be to eat the smaller portion and just not eat before bed. Reality has proven, though, that I really struggle with that. After losing and gaining the same 100 lbs 4 times already, I've come to believe that I have a problem. I am convinced that overeaters, like alcoholics can be in recovery but never recovered. Rather than continuing to beat myself up over my lack of self control, I have been trying to find an overall forever way of eating that allows me to control my weight in a way that actually works for me. I feel like I am close to doing that for the first time ever. Better late than never, right? Make it, log it, eat it, live it.
