@Oneanne in theory I don't believe in sugar addiction. In practice having little sugar as part of the meal is perfectly fine. But adding cakes, ice cream, chocolate and other high sugar items to my diet have made it harder for me. I almost always end up wanting more food after I eat something high sugar, than before. I sometimes am happy with my dinner, have something sweet and start craving more food after! I keep changing my mind about it but right now I am not loving sweet things
@lovesmurfs I am trying to figure out how overeating occasionally came back as I was perfectly happy not doing it. The truth is t's easy way to change your state - work stress, eating too much, feeling bad because of eating too much - shift of focus. Sometimes it's easier to deal with the negative impact of eating too much than it is to facing your feelings. I love yoga, but I feel I need to figure out other ways to shift my focus than eating toast and cheese at 8 pm! Another thing is what time does over eating happens? For me it's the hours between 7 and 9 and potentially 5 to 6. If I come home at 5, and eat my dinner at 5 I will be hungry by bed time. I either have to plan for snack, or push my dinner to later. I find having snack between lunch and dinner helps with that. I will be working towards not eating after dinner (usually after 7 or 7:30). If I have good size dinner, I should survive few hours of not eating at night, and it's almost never hunger related eating
I bring my own food too. I work in large multinational company with most staff between 25 and 40 and we have fridges in work. I think there are well over 2000 in the building. The amount of people eating healthy and bringing their own food is amazing. Planning helps. I also like reminding myself that there are quick options I can do if my plans fail - as I have many options where i can the right type of breakfast and lunch in work.
I think I need another round of tony robbins audio program. Not that fun to do but my musts are slipping away from me, I need to reassess my plan. Would love to get little fitter and slimmer for our Disney Vacation in June.
