Bring a plate to work! (And other newbie musings)
Posted: Thu Jul 10, 2008 1:54 am
One thing that's really helped me so far: I brought a plate to work. (I tend to eat at my desk). It keeps me from fudging by "virtual plating" and also makes me feel like I'm a real person eating a real meal. Getting up to wash my plate at the end is a nice signal that mealtime is OVER.
On a side note, I've not noticed any change in my weight yet. However, I HAVE noticed that I am no longer eating as a way to punish myself, or out of guilt or boredom. And I am eating lots of fruits and veggies. (Which I always skipped on WW, because who wants to "waste" 2 points on an apple?) And you know what? I like living this way. If it ends up that living this way keeps me at my current size, well, then I will be someone of my current size who isn't shoving Oreos in my mouth because I hate my boss and who walks through Central Park every day on the way to work to enjoy the surroundings.
