day 7 - Another Monday

Day 7 - Last day of journaling this stage!!

Time	Food Thought	Eating Trigger
0900	should eat breakfast	tummy rumbling
1230	salad lunch	tummy rumbling
1530	when is dinner - I am hungry	tummy rumbling a LOT (did not eat)
1700	dinner time	ate a nice dinner with my son

Wow today seems a little tough cause I seem to be hungry - this has not happened before, I havent even "missed" the snacking up till now, I had no body signs anyway!!

I chatted live with Laura on blog talk radio and she was wonderful in listening to me and reassuring me and for me to explain how her program is helping me!!

I am ignoring the rumblings with a nice glass of water and realise the tummy is just probably smelling the dinner I am preparing, a nice spaghetti Bolognese tonight, I have deliberately halfed the ground turkey so i can do taco's later in the week!!

So as I recap through the "skinny thinking" book at the end of "the first step"I look at the "to do list"

I can check of some off these,

I have learned to distinguish between the problematic thoughts that come from "the child within"

I have ignored the child within several times

I am beginning to see the whole picture of food rather than the "child" promise of taste and pleasure

I have explored kung fu steps for diversion

I am beginning to explore my soul and ways to distract me from being bored and eating

I still have a lot to learn, especially when I get upset as that still is when I am weakest!

I really feel committed to this journey and making positive changes in how I look and think about food!
