R2P2D24 – 170.5

Weight: 170.5

Shocking!  But not unbelievable.  I ate dinner last night at Baja Fresh before going to a community education class.  I ordered the Mango Chipotle Chicken Salad….and I ate the WHOLE THING!

I was reading my textbook for the other class I’m in and didn’t truly pay attention.  I remember feeling full, thinking I should stop, but then didn’t.  I woke up this morning still stuffed!

Along with eating out, I had forgotten my water bottle so I didn’t get much water, and the end of the night. I was pretty dry.  It was a no-brainer to work on drinking more water today; I need to flush out the sodium!

There are some good lessons here:

• First, pay attention when you are eating, so you only eat until you’re comfortable.
• Second, I have grown fond of not being in the 170’s.
• Last, but  not least, my world did not fall apart because I weighed 2-2.5 pounds more.  The large shirt was still large; but I need to take care of business so that it doesn’t start to fit.

One of the problems with eating too much is that it can start a cycle of craving those foods, and today I had cravings for more, sweet, food, even though I started out so darn full.  I’m going to have to work on how to handle that urge, especially when it’s coupled with stress, to a satisfactory resolution.
