Kodi woke me up even before my alarms did. Last night was difficult when it came to food. Mondays are difficult anyway as I have 3 classes and am in school until after 9 p.m. After I ate dinner, which I had planned, I went back for some carrots, some pudding, some celery, and on and on. I wasn't even hungry! I am not sure if it is left over from quitting smoking and needing something to do with my hands or if it is emotional eating....whatever it is I need to work on this. I have always been a "snacker" but this takes it to another level. I don't remember doing this before I had my thyroid out but who knows, maybe I did...
I need to think small goals here, so tonight I am going to come home after class I will eat, then take kodi out. Instead of just snacking if this mood hits me, I will put pen to paper and write down what I am feeling and going through at that moment.
My papers are due today and I have a test tomorrow. I am going to get through this the best I can then concentrate on my 2 finals next week and then 2 more finals the week after.
Well, off to pack my lunch so I can get to school.
I took up knitting almost a year ago and it's really helped me with keeping my fingers busy if I just want to sit and watch TV. I'm pretty sure it burns calories too.
ReplyDeleteExcept for the pudding it sounds like your snack choices were pretty good! I tell myself that I'm not allowed to eat unless I'm willing to sit down at the kitchen table w/o distractions and focus on eating. That way I'm not eating unless I'm actually hungry.
I started knitting a little over a year ago as well, once I moved I never unpacked it....I should do that. At least you're being productive while keeping busy.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day.
