Yesterday I was hungrier than usual, so I ate more. I ended up eating about 1500 calories (my usual calorie intake is about 1200).
I have been quite stressed about a few things and my weight loss is not as fast and dramatic as it has been in the last few weeks.
My focus even while eating more is this: eat what I feel my body needs. It’s not about the quantity and it’s not about “feeling like” something - I blended the roast veg I had left over, turning it into a soup with some stock. And I had it with 2 thin slices of the rye sourdough I froze.
The wins here: - I had a craving and used it to nourish my body. I am intuitively understanding my body’s need. I felt zero guilt for having gone over my daily calorie goal. Because I’m focusing on the dietary goals (fibre and protein) I’m focused on my behaviour rather than the outcome of that behaviour, so I’m not thrown by the slowing down of my weight loss, I’m committed to following through on the process of what I can control - eating food that nourishes.
So, now I’m dropping again, and I haven’t comforted myself with junk food over a stressful week, and I’m building sustainable practices that are paying off.
