Little Goal #2

I blew it! I just ate enough calories for a whole week in that one meal!!! I'm out of control!
​Don't wait till Monday to get back on track. Start right now.

So you ate.. a lot. You may still be feeling full and bloated from all of the stuff you just ate that you know you shouldn't eat but you ate it anyway.

Take a deep breath and let's get back on track by regaining a sense of control..self-control. 

Here Is How.
THE HUNGER WAVE CHALLENGE
  1. Starting NOW, commit to yourself that you will not put another morsel of food across your lips UNTIL your body signals that it is ready by sending 2 waves of hunger. You can have water, but >>> nothing other than water. No gum. No hard candy. No chocolate cake. Water.
  2. Wait for Wave #1 to hit. Once you feel it, or think you feel or sense it, drink one full glass of water, but no food, gum, or candy. Notice how long this takes for your body.. digestion times vary for different body types.
  3. When Wave #2 hits, eat a meal around but not over 400 calories. See if you can omit carbs and refined sugars from this meal. Eat slowly. Put your fork or spoon down between bites. End your meal with a little swish of mouth wash (not chocolate flavored). Now plan out or decide what you will eat for your next Second Wave Meal.
  4. Repeat. If you get back off track at any point, all you need to do is start again at number.
.Please notice:
  • How long you go between meals before feeling your second wave of physical hunger
  • How quiet your mind is if not woke up by carbs/or refined sugar.

Why does this work. 
You are gaining a "self-control" momentum. When we feel out of control with food or anything else, anything goes. We eat anything. Do anything. We might feel bad about it but not bad enough to change it. Our go to phrase is "f*ck it" I'm off track anyway. I blew it weeks ago. I'm already overweight. Might as well.

This mentality comes from a strong momentum of being out of control. No one is driving the bus. No one is at home and in charge here. 

When you take a small step and focus on just the period of time between now and the next time your body feels hungry, it's doable and kind of fun. Then every time you say "No.. I think I'm going to wait to see if I can feel or sense that hunger feeling because I want to see how long it takes my body to digest this meal I just ate", you feel in control. Then when you drink your glass of water after wave #1, you feel even more in control. Then wave #2 comes and you eat the meal you planned for.. meaning you put time and energy into planning and actually thinking about what was going in to your body, you build even more energy onto that in control feeling.
Then you plan your next meal..and on and on and on. The feeling of control builds and now you have a positive momentum. Someone is in charge and that someone is you. It feels amazing!!!!!
It really is that simple. You really can do this. Try it. Start right now. Comment and let me know how it goes.
