Today got all turned about. I was supposed to go into work in the early afternoon for training, and I'd planned to come home and do my exercise in the evening. Instead I got asked to work so I had to rush to try and get as much of it in before I left, and I didn't get home until late. I had to leave out the WATP, but I did finish up the free weights when I got home. I would have liked to do the DVD tonight to make up for not getting it in this afternoon but I was hungry and didn't want to put off supper. With my APs I had enough to eat more food for supper but in the end I decided to eat the usual and just garnish it a little more richly. I really would like to shrink my stomach some if at all possible so that I don't have to eat so much to feel full. I suppose that comes through time and cutting back by degrees so I won't feel deprived by sudden changes. All my life I've eaten a lot of food and I don't feel satisfied without at least a comfortably full stomach. That probably came in part from eating crap that didn't take care of hunger the way proper food does, so I was driven to eat more of it. But I also can't ignore the huge role comfort plays in my overeating, and how I find the sensation of being full to be physically and emotionally satisfying. Even now when I save my FPs for the weekend for when I want a treat, it is not to eat food that are higher points, it is to eat MORE food. The interesting thing is that I've not had to put much thought into the how and why of it all, because since WW cuts your points bit by bit as you go along, by default you start eating a bit less than you used to, unless you just start eating a lot more 0 point food. I have learned to make smarter choices, but I am also eating less food as well. Because of that I will trust that I don't need to fret about this and that I will continue moving toward a place where I am eating less and feeling satisfied without having to be full to the brim.
