When I fall down…

[casacera]

Happened this am. Regular satisfying breakfast. Looking for something for someone high and low and I couldn’t find it. A set up. Thought I always knew about that and was prepared to deal with an urge that grabbed hold of me. Not this time. Got into my “now what mode “. How to put time, distance from my frozen waffle/ 1/2 orange/frozen choc. Yogurt pop 2nd breakfast mid-morning? Made my bed, brushed my teeth, cleaned up kitchen and most of all posted to my dearest food friend. Hubby still resting. Wait for more digestion taking place the out for my 45 min. walk. When I feel more “empty” and hungry (whatever that is?) protein and veggies and some more fruit. But I’ve left out the big down feelings that accompany this. I have compassion for myself because I try so hard and for so long, and compassion for others who go through their own “flood-weight” thing. Enough for now. casacera

I eat the same breakfast everyday . 30g porridge made with cold water microwave for 2.5 mins then add 2tbsp full fat Greek yogurt and fruit . Never hungry , cheap and balanced. A cup of fruit berry tea left to infuse. Asdas own -blackcurrant especially-tastes like fruity Ribena minus the sugar . Nothing except water till lunchtime. I feel full and easily got into this routine .

It sounds as if you got these urges because of some stress? If that's the case I know exactly how you feel! It's a way I think of trying to get back some control even if it's a self-defeating move, and has nothing to do with hunger. But you're doing all the right things to try and block it out. Try having something to drink (water, tea or coffee, not a sugary or alcoholic one! ) - you've already done other things to help calm you down again. Quite right to have compassion on yourself, and remember you have used your distraction strategies well. Good luck for the next few hours and the next week!
