Dealing with Hunger pangs on a diet

Today I am HUNGRY!!! real, growling tummy hungry. Even though I’ve eaten as usual today, had my weetbix and fruit toast this morning, a good lunch and my large peices of fruit in the afternoon, including a banana, my insides are empty.

This might be because I ate a bit less than usual yesterday because I had a couple of bad days thursday/friday. It might be because I exercised pretty hard this morning. It might just be one of those days.

But I will not let it beat me.  I will not pick up a red rooster chips on the way home,  I will not get a chocolate bar before I leave work. This is because I recognise that

Hunger is NOT an emergency!!!

That’s right, just because I’m hungry does not give me permission to blow everything. What I will do however, is add a single slice of toast with a single scrambled egg to my day’s plan. I’ll have this as soon as I get home, before I make dinner. This is because I know that  my planned dinner today is not really that substantial, and I don’t want to encourage a binge in the evening.

But until I get home, I will remember that hunger is not an emergency, these pangs will probably pass, and I can easliy wait until I get home to eat.

besides, I have weigh in with the PT tomorrow morning, I don’t want to blow that again!
