Eating Stuff

I’m eat­ing much more than before. I’m hav­ing to push myself to get enough points each day! Because the WW stuff says over and over again that if you don’t eat enough, your body will go into star­va­tion mode. I under­stand that. I’m just not real­ly into eat­ing. I’m work­ing on it, though.

Points Range 28–33
Wednes­day 34 points
Thurs­day 25 points
Fri­day 28
Sat­ur­day 31
Sun­day 24 (and that was after mak­ing myself eat a snack last night)

I went over once (because I’d under­es­ti­mat­ed points on a meal at first), under twice. I’ve had more than enough water each day, but haven’t done as well about the veg­gies. I ran out of vit­a­mins today and need to go get more.

I am notic­ing that I’m not as con­gest­ed in gen­er­al. I think it’s prob­a­bly not hav­ing much if any corn—I was eat­ing grits every morn­ing. Corn is one of the bluzil­lion things I’ve been told that I’m aller­gic to in the past (eggs, choco­late, milk, wheat, you name it —f you eat it, that doc­tor said I was aller­gic to it).

I’m more than full, but some­how I’m not *sat­is­fied*. I don’t nor­mal­ly con­sid­er myself an emo­tion­al eater. I know that cheese grits are major com­fort food for me, but oth­er than that—I con­sid­er food fuel, and that’s about it. I know that I’ll have trou­ble with the por­tion con­trol if I do eat cheese grits, so I’m just not hav­ing them for now. I did allow myself my dai­ly mug of Suisse Mocha, as it’s an impor­tant part of my morn­ing rit­u­al. (I have OCD, okay? Rit­u­als are important.)

I’m not sure what to do about it and I don’t want to get into a state of feel­ing deprived, because I’m more like­ly to under­mine myself if that hap­pens. Suggestions?
