I've been following a mostly 3 meal a day, No snack No seconds routine. I did a 500cal x 3 meals =1500cal daily for a while after reading a book (The 500 Plan i think it was..lost weight but was a little too low on cals I think so couldn't stick to it, before that I joined weight watchers (which I'm still paying for
![Embarassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
I've re-read "Dieting- a dry drunk" Becky L Jackson, and a new book she just released and have finally admitted honestly to myself that I have an eating addiction..(its still hard to even write that). I am acting as if I do anyway and dealing with that by having an abstinence bottom line which is 3 meals a day, no seconds (eating 1 decent plate of food with no seconds or add ons, I can include sweets in the meal but I have to pre-plan it..no random add ons. I've come back here to have a place to record my food and have a clear record of where I'm at.
I might be boring and just check in each day, I might not comment on other people's posts I'm not being rude just focused on my abstinence. My whole life I've been obsessed with food. When I would be invited to friends houses I just wanted to see what food they had in the pantry. I've been trying my whole married life to be a 'normal' eater like my husband but then thing is I'm not a normal eater, never was probably never will be.
This is not about weight. I am leaving that up to nature. I will eat my 3 meals a day O in between 1 day at a time and allow my body to be whatever it is as a result of that. I will do my best to love and accept the body nature intended for me. Hence 3 0 1. 30 is 30min walk (minimum)
a day for my health and to exercise my dog. The book is related to the 12 step overeaters anonymous..which is very spiritual/religious I find. Becky L Jackson just said interpret that however feels comfortable, I replace God/ Higher Power with Nature..I'm not religious and find it uncomfortable but Nature sits well with me.
Ha..I was only supposed to log on quickly but have managed an essay as usual

Monday 1st July-
Breakfast = Bowl of cornflakes, sliced banana and light milk. Black tea.
Lunch- Chicken avocado lettuce on a buttered roll, with some coleslaw salad on the side. A sliced apple in 2 tbsp yogurt.
Dinner- will be likely very similar to lunch as we are going out and will be back at Dinner time, not much time to cook. We have a roast chicken still in the fridge.
I did have a Chai latte mid morning with the boys (school hols) but only drank half I found it too sweet and milky. I've given up coffee as I was drinking way to much of it and not getting proper sleep after night shift, I feel much better but still trying to find an enjoyable hot drink when we go to cafes besides hot chocolates...?
Good to be back posting.
