Diet day 4/70. Hunger is starting to be annoying. There's an afternoon tea/award thing in the calendar this afternoon. Thinking of just wagging it so I don't have to engage in self control.
hunger is a different thing to habit in food portion control though. Ideally you shouldn't be hungry, just beating off (heh) the urge to eat when you are not.
While portion control is a thing I need to worry about somewhat, my problem is more that I haven't been tracking intake kilojoules in general. I know that the disipline of that task makes a massive difference to my weight. I run at lunchtime instead of eating a meal. However, I will snack on foods that are probably a bit dense in energy, but not in nutrition (chips, choccies etc). I've cut that all out and have brought in something healthier and nutritious instead to graze on.
I also have a naughty tendency to raid the bikkie jar after 10pm. I've fought that one off by brushing teeth a bit earlier than normal. I actually find it easier to budget my kilojoules for the whole day ahead of time. Frankly, by 10pm I've been above 7,000kj each day already and can't afford any more.
Separately but simultaneously, my sleeping petterns also need some work. I have also managed to get to bed before/around midnight each night (which is early for me). Still having a little trouble getting to sleep that early, though I did manage 0:17 last night, which was less than 30 minutes after I went to bed.
ooof yeah, start tracking the kilojules, cico is absolutely the key to building a maintainable path forwards. Kudos on the work so far though, that shit is bloody hard.
