if you'd asked me in the morning, i would've said this was going to be a big eating day. i woke up *hungry*, not just stomach hungry but mouth hungry. but it didn't end up that way at all.
luna bar
1 werther's
2 (very) small microwaved apples w/ cinnamon & a little sugar
grande (16oz) soymilk steamer w/ gingerbread syrup (since going off coffee and rethinking how i spend my money, i almost never go into starbucks any more. but i was in the mood for a soy steamer, and then i saw they'd started with their holiday flavors - this drink is one of my favorite things in the world.  )
fake chicken salad on a (slightly scooped-out) kaiser roll
1/2 serving tofu lasagna
1 fun size chocolate (i feel okay about eating one of these when it stays just one of these)
and that's it. looking back it really doesn't feel like a lot of food. but i know it was plenty of calories. a successful day for mindful eating. (that's the catchphrase i've latched on to - it really captures, for me, the sense of what i'm trying to do. mindful eating, and mindful choices.) i spent the evening at home with some dvd's (and by the way, do any of you watch alias? i just finished season four and am seriously freaking out!) - a night that could easily have gone the way of bored snacking - it makes boring tv that much less boring. the thought of getting a snack kept coming into my mind, just as an option for something to do, but each time i really just didn't want to eat. i like that - it wasn't that i wanted to eat but deprived myself, by force of willpower, but i just didn't want to eat. i wasn't hungry, so why should i.
it felt really good.
