I Will Ignore The Voices!

So today was my first day of starting over again.  I ate really healthy, and although I didn’t exercise, that’s OK in my book for today.  My booty was at work at 4:30 am for 12 hours, and I PASSED OUT for a nap the second I got home.  I was hoping to get the new tennis shoes to work out in after work today, but I’m not going to beat myself up over not doing it, considering my body’s not used to getting up at 3 am.  I only have to do it 2 more days and then life should be more back to normal with a more reasonalable work schedule.

Today I ate:

-Bagel with a much smaller amount cream cheese than I’d usually slather on that bad boy!

-Pineapple

-Lean Cuisine

-Fresh Bing Cherries

-Apple

-Tuna Salad w/ corn, relish and 1 TBSP mayo

-Lite Veggie Soup

-A lot of water

There were times throughout the day when I was hungry.  But just like someone blogged earlier today, I am trying to stop thinking of this is a sign of deprivation and more a sign of “Under Construction!”

Now how do I ignore the evil voices in my head that say “You’re so hungry.  Screw this.  Eat something.”  or “Taco Bell sounds soooo good.”  or “Now that I’ve even lunch and don’t feel as full as I’m used to, I should just go to Jack in the Box for a chicken sandwich.” 

These voices are the hardest thing for me to ignore.  I really want to learn how the pros, and amateurs out there, resist the temptation.   Please, please help me!

    It is not hunger…It is the sound of your body burning fat. We have been tricked into calling this hunger and feeling it is a bad thing. Who would trick us. The junk food industry of course. Don’t fall for the trick…enjoy feeling your body chip away at the weight!

    For me if I get cravings I will eat something sweet…a dried apricot, say, then if they dont go away I will try something salty or crunchy or spicy but always a little something so for salty maybe celery with salt etc… Hopefully when your schedule gets less hectic it will help as the mess up of time if day etc..can really mess up how you feel.
