As promised - my "day of eating" along with my Thought Behavior Patterns (TBP).....
TBP - 7:00am - Yes I could eat my father's pancakes and bacon - but let me have some coffee, relax and not rush into a bad decision. Let me enjoy the "empty" feeling and know that I have not made a rash decision.
One egg (over medium with tsp Olive oil), one piece whole wheat toast w/I Can't Believe its not butter, one orange
TBP - 11:00am - Breakfast digested - hungry. Eat an ice cold apple and a glass of iced tea with lemon, sit and relax for a minute and visualize my body utilizing stored fats. Visualize my fat bucket as empty and my golf skirt comfortable and loose.
One cold apple and tall glass of iced tea with lemon
TBP - 3:00....won't eat dinner until about 6:00 but craving cheese and crackers. Drink small bottle of cold water and eat a banana - I LOVE bananas and they are filling. Cheese and crackers will make fat dimples on my legs - a banana will give me energy and fill me up. Relax and do 5 minutes of Yoga.
One banana, some blue berries, a little non-fat mild and one tablespoon of yogurt in the blender for a nice smoothie -
TBP 5:00....Relax with a glass of red wine and contemplate on what a good job I've done all day resisting thoughtless eating. Plan a healthy dinner.
Salad with lots of tomatoes, cucumbers, bean sprouts, Balsamic vinegar. Steamed soy beans, brown rice and 3 small pieces of orange chicken.
TBP 9:30pm......would love something sweet - try a cup of hot tea with a little milk and honey. Reflect on a day of controlled eating and visualize my body as slim and strong and healthy.
Hot tea with milk and honey, small bowl of blue berries. 5 minutes of Yoga before bed, will sleep more soundly.
