So, today (Dec. 14) is probably the first day in a long, LONG time that I have eaten under 2,000 calories! Well, it may be a bit over since I don't calculate the coffee I drink. Coffee is the only thing I don't calculate, but it still works out. I only have one cup in the morning and that's it.
I bought some salad, and the one I bought I can have 4 cups of it for only 20 calories. I'm floored, and shocked. And will definitely be using that going forward to fill me up. Today I stayed within range and still had nachos and hot dogs with turkey chili. Each meal came up *kind* of high, around 800-ish for both. But, I'm still within range of my daily goal.
I think, for me, what's making this easy is because I finally have control. Eating and food is the ONE thing I have control over. And instead of spiraling out of control further, I'm controlling myself and actually doing something to benefit myself. I'm being very mindful that I don't slip into unhealthy restrictive behaviors (my partner is also supporting me, and he knows what to look for). Because, eating whatever I wanted there was no control. But now I have it, and I'm never letting it get away from me.
Each day I eat better, the better I feel. And I never want to feel like shit because I eat unhealthy again. I'm going to write down how I feel, and remind myself of this.
