Weight Loss Daily Food Intake

OK -  I'll do it!!!  So many of my readers ask me what I eat on a daily basis to stay slim.  My pat answer is as follows:  "It's not what I eat, but what my Thought Behavior is PRIOR to eating"....and I stick by that answer - but I have had numerous requests from readers who are super curious about what MY daily intake consists of....so here goes -  I will post daily my food intake (from the previous day)....I won't quantify in terms of fat grams, calories, etc.  I will list the food, time eaten and approximate amount.  I will also give you a synopsis of my Thought Behavior Pattern (TBP) prior to consumption - 

Saturday, April 16th, 2011:
9:00am TBP -  Usually not too hungry in am, just weighed myself and happy with number - allowed my inner strength to stay focused, as hubby wanted to go out for breakfast - we stayed home
- One packet of Quaker instant oatmeal, one slice whole wheat bread with a smidgen of I Can't Believe it's Not Butter, one banana, black coffee

2:00 TBP -  Appetite on the up-swing will quench with a nice cold orange (fruit is "free")
-  One orange and large glass ice water w/lemon slices
3:00 TBP -  Appetite on the up-swing will quench with a nice cold orange (fruit is "free")
-  One orange and large glass ice water w/lemon slices

4:00 TBP -Relax with a low cal, refreshing cocktail (ONE), serve up in martini glass takes longer to drink - sip not gulp
-  One shot of Vodka with Club Soda, White Grapefruit Juice and Splash of Cran (up)

5:00 TBP - Have done well all day, love mother's Goulash but lots of calories - eat just enough to feel satisfied but eat a BIG salad first with lots of raw veggies no dressing to fill the void
-  One cup of my mother's German Goulash, big salad w/lettuce tomatoes, raw veggies - touch of lemon juice for dressing (I don't use dressing - too high in fat and calories and hides taste of veggies) - large glass of ice water with lemon

7:00 TBP -  Just 2 tablespoons is ENOUGH....eat slowly and enjoy with family skip the crust
-  Super slim sliver (about 2 tablespoons) of banana cream pie - took 10 long minutes to eat and enjoy

8:00 TBP -  Don't feel guilty or stuffed YEAH!!  Enjoy a hot tea, relax and reflect on a successful day of using inner strength and power to my advantage
-  De-caff hot tea
