Hunger or Craving or Boredom

I'm hungry or something. I'm definitely craving food. I found myself thinking about a slice of bread and how good that would taste. I don't think that I am actually, physically hungry. I can always drink another shake and take care of that. Someone at work made toast and the smell is what started the mental combat. First I will write about it. Then in fifteen minutes, I will go for a walk. After that I will make a shake. That should get me past this struggle.

I made it through the weekend OK. I had a little grumpiness over not being able to eat, but I got over it. This is a choice that I am making. I'm not being forced to do it. The rewards will be worth it. I fully expect to have a decent loss at the weigh in tomorrow. That will renew my willpower for a few days.

At class last week, they gave me a packet of recipes to try with the shake mixes. Some of them, I can bake into a type of treat. I will try to make one tonight and post the results tomorrow. Maybe having a little variety in texture will help. I have a bunch of different flavor options and that has worked so far. I just need to think of other ways to get me past the shake boredom. I'm only on week 2. I've got a long way to go.
