I have finally gotten smarter about how and why I log my food. I used to log it as if I were taking a test. Did I fit everything in? I would manipulate the portions to fit my goal which frequently wasn't accurate. Now I just log honestly and look at what I can learn from my pattern. My biggest takeaway was the amount of unnecessary eating I was engaging in, even with nutritious foods. Now I'm more attuned to how much I eat and why I eat. If I am legitimately hungry I will eat beyond my allotted calories until I am no longer hungry, rather than stuffed. Some days I'm going to be extra active and I will need more calories and others I may not even need the amount of my goal. The key is to listen to my body, make sure I'm hungry, not thirsty before I eat, and fuel as necessary. I'm allowing myself occasional treats, provided there's still a caloric deficit in my day. I never thought I'd be able to control that, but currently, I'm doing it. My summer off was not a relaxing one. A lot went on with my dad, I had a wonderful, yet exhausting trip with my mom, I witnessed a horrible tragedy at the beach, and went on a fun, but often stressful road trip with my family. I joked with my principal that I'm coming back to work to relax. I would usually stress eat and I didn't. This is huge progress for me. The next challenge is to maintain this while surrounded by all the junk at work. I can do it! (Picture me in Rosie the Riveter pose!)
