I was at Target after a bike ride this evening and knew I still had calories to finish my day. I bought a meat/cheese tray and some Halo Top brand ice cream. I expected and was excited to eat the whole pint since it’s only 360 calories and I had ‘room’ for it.
When I got home I saw a reminder of the chocolate I had earlier and I also realized I had eaten some cheese. I begrudgingly went to watch TV and eat the ice cream when I realized I didn’t have to finish it to enjoy it and go over my calories for the day.
I ate a third of the container, put the lid on, and walked to the freezer and put it away. It was such a proud moment for me. I managed to keep my calories right in place for the day and gain some confidence and self-awareness. It felt really good.
I know this is a lesson in recording food when it’s eaten, but if I’m eating small portions and not binging, I feel like not recording immediately can take away the burden of this whole process. Just don’t forget later when you do need to record!
