A Week of Eating Consciously, Day 5

For "parameters" see this post.

Even though I can check the scale today, I have decided not to. Since I have already had breakfast, the most "dangerous" (tempting) time is over.

Breakfast: 8:15 a.m.

• made more breakfast than I usually prepare since the portion sizes were small; only ate half since in the end, I wasn't that hungry
• did eat consciously and relatively slowly; at least I put the food down between each bite
• thinking more about what I had to do during the day than about anything to do with food

Lunch: 11:20

• suddenly felt hungry and looked at the time: practically lunch time!
• decided nevertheless to have more breakfast food, followed by a little snippet of lunch food
• ate way too fast: breakfast part at the table, lunch snippet on the run

Snacks: 3:45 and 4:10 p.m.

• one fruit snack while walking; one small snack at home, eaten fast because I wanted to get to the crossword puzzle (didn't make much headway with it; will try again later!)

Supper: 6:40 p.m.

• ate reasonably, not too fast, chatting with hubby and son
• didn't eat all my bread--it just wasn't good quality
• didn't have the impression that I ate a lot, but felt really full afterwards

No urge to snack in the evening.
