I am finally realizing the difference between when I need to eat and when I want to eat.
It's still a daily struggle, but it is getting easier to recognize when I am actually now as opposed to those times when I am bored, tired, angry, happy or frustrated and want to eat. I ignored my hungry and full signals for so long, they were a bit rusty :)
I ate a little too much supper today because I was emotional and upset after work. I was eating off my small plate and ended up having seconds, but by the time I was almost finished I recognized what I was doing. There was more food that the "old" me would have just kept on chowing down, but instead I packed it up for the boy's lunch tomorrow and threw away the remaining few morsels.
And I have been good with the exercise this week, I went on the elliptical for 20 minutes on Monday, 22 minutes yesterday, and yesterday I also did 10 minutes of weight exercises.
