Well, after yesterday's reverting to old habits, today has been much more positive. (I was going to say today has been "good" but that sounded too much like "diet talk").
I have a temporary new job at work, so I think today's positivity was brought about by that. The work isn't necessarily any better, but it is a change, and a chance to pick up some new skills.
My co-worker was heading for the chocolate at 10am this morning, but that was a bit early in the day for me (although I have been known to eat chocolate at breakfast time before today!!). Instead I opted for a milky drink which kept me going till lunchtime. I then made myself a nice toasted sandwhich and had some fruit (yum!). I also bought some almonds to nibble on, and although I probably ate more that I needed (I ate them because they were there, rather than because I was hungry) - my body was my happier with those than with sweets or chocolate!
Tonight I had my yummy vege bean stack for dinner, and instead of heading for seconds because it was so tasty, I thought I'd had enough, so I have saved some for lunch tomorrow. So instead of feeling uncomfortably full for a few minutes of "tastes yum", I have it to enjoy tomorrow.
I think part of my eating "thing" is that I always like to have something in my mouth. I wonder if it was because I was a thumb sucker as a child? Might be an interesting theory to see if kids who had a thumb or dummy habit as toddlers or preschoolers tend to eat more.....? In the meantime I may need to invest in some gum.
