Morning Check In: I am dissapointed in myself today! All went well until after dinner. I was a bit out of sorts and I was by myself - a bad combo. The snacks I indulged in were metabolically friendly, but I was not eating them out of hunger or any need whatsoever other than soothing an feeling. The problem with snacking when I am feeling an uncomfortable feeling is that I am solving a problem I do not have. I was using food to solve an emotion. The only thing food solves is hunger, which I did not have. I was trying to solve a problem, but I did not have that problem (hunger), so of course the problem remained unsolved! I still felt the emotion. Had I NOT snacked, I would have felt much BETTER later that night! I made myself feel even worse! I am going to think on this for a bit. Food ONLY solves the problem of hunger. Is that my problem? A good question to ask myself next time. I have to say I was also out of sorts because I tried making my own bone broth using the crockpot. I haven’t used a crockpot in YEARS and I forgot my rule: it MUST REMAIN OUTSIDE when cooking! I am, unfortunately, one of those people who are classified as “super smellers.” No, not because I am smelly, but because I can smell things others cannot, and because of that I am easily overwhelmed by odors. Smellling that broth cooking all day was TERRIBLE!!!! That stuff better taste good! Today I plan two meals. No sugar/no starch. NO SNACKING. Walk the dog several times. Enjoy the odors in the fresh outdoors! 🙂
