Everyday Systems

I think with the upheaval with the stay at home order, kids out of school, uncertainty at work things have just been feeling out of control. Definitely ready for a new start. Really want to commit to this through the next 3 months!
N day -

B - sourdough toast, eggs, fruit
L - salad with chicken and feta
S - halibut with orzo and broccolini

Welcome! I am one to say there are really no guarantees, not even with No S- though it saved my eating life-, but I wager that you will be pleased with the sense of satisfaction from sticking with meals. You might even enjoy your food more!

I agree that the schedule shifts (and more time at home) have made eating routines more difficult. I've had so many more sweet-fails.

Thanks for the welcome!

Notes from day 6 - it’s actually quite pleasant to feel an order to the day even during this chaotic time. I’m also realizing that I’m pleasantly hungry for my next meal, not ravenous, and that I’m feeling comfortably full. I definitely have some issues with binge eating so riding the wave of “don’t starve or stuff yourself” has often been a challenge. Knowing I have regularly schedule meals seems to help that. As does making deliberate, satisfying choices for meals.

Day #7, N Day - success!
B - scrambled eggs, toast with avocado, almond butter
L - tomato soup, salad, roll
D - zucchini leek pasta, salad

Great day!
