Awesome day! Had to share!

April 2, 2009

After my numerous posts lately about the difficulties I've been having, I

figured I just had to let you know I had a great day today!

I LOVE oatmeal with slivered almonds and brown sugar. I used to eat it every

morning before I developed my eating disorder. The other day I finally gave in

and bought slivered almonds so I could have it again. I had it for breakfast

this morning and it was so satisfying. It was also crazy filling so by the time

I got my break at work around 1 I still wasn't hungry, but I ate the pop tarts I

had brought anyway because I felt my energy going down by the minute.

After work I felt hungry but knew I was making vegetable lasagna for dinner and

didn't want to fill up on something else and not be hungry for that, so I ate

some carrots with italian dressing (that was the only thing that appealed to me

to be honest) and while I was making the lasagna I had some ricotta cheese as

well. I made lasagna rolls instead of a traditional lasagna and I usually eat

two but being that I had just filled myself up a little on cheese I opted to

just take one at first and take it from there. One actually got me perfectly

full and PLENTY satisfied! It wasn't about the calories or anything, I was

perfectly happy with just one, even though all along I had planned to eat two.

When dinner was done my fiance and I each had two squares off a Hershey's

cookies and cream candy bar (he bought a jumbo one when we went grocery shopping

today) for dessert. It was so yummy and though I usually eat an entire candy

bar myself (regular sized though I wouldn't hold it past myself to eat a jumbo

one!) I was content with my two squares.

I am just so proud of myself! Like I told my fiance, I usually feel as though I

am missing out on something if I'm not eating and it almost feels " wrong " or

weird to be 100% satisfied. I didn't want to eat anything and I didn't even

want to open the cupboards to look and see what we had " just in case " I forgot

we had X food and wanted to eat that. It's these days that keep me going!

Now if only my headache would go away.
