Trying to honor my hunger

[Guest guest]

I have been trying really hard to honor my hunger and to not worry so much about

healthy foods and gaining weight, but it's hard. I went to the grocery store

last night and gave myself permission to get some things I normally don't buy.

About a year ago, I gave up high fructose corn syrup and anything that contains

partially hydrogenated fats. This limits what " treats " i can buy. I wanted i

cream but all the kinds i like had high fructose and some had partially

hydrogenated fats. I finally got breyers natural mint chocolate chip ice cream,

some dove chocolates and Chex mix. I had a health nut smoothie from Tropical

smoothie ( I never tried this before, since it was too high in calories) for

dinner and then hit the gym. when I got home and showered I was hungry so I had

some chex mix and chocolate, and some fresh pineapple. I ended up eating too

much and felt sick. I had about two handfuls of chex mix, a good size bowl of

pineapple and about eight dove chocolates. I think the chex mix was too sweet.

I told my son he could have the rest of the bag. i normally eat dark chocolate,

but thought maybe i was doing that for diet reasons, so i bought the milk

chocolate, it was too sweet also. So i learned I really don't like Check mix

sweet and salty, even though I crave it sometimes and that I really do just

prefer dark chocolate.

This morning I had a glass of skim milk before leaving the house and have had

half and apple so far. I just decided not that i am hungry enough to eat my

oatmeal.
