Day 3 Intuitive Eating Diary October 17

Another successful day. I feel like I probably ate to a fuller satiety but then I got my TOM so... that might explain it. I also did a workout today and that helped. I'm loving that I went out to dinner with friends and didn't need to stress - I even told her to just order because I couldn't be bothered. No over the top analysing and being picky - so nice. I enjoyed a glass of wine as well!

B: -2 Protein shake with a banana in it +3
S: -3 Vegan gluten free banana bread with butter and a full cream flat white +3
S: -4 Raw vegan jaffa slice 1/2 and 1/2 raw vegan peanut butter fudge before training
1 hour gym session with brother
Coconut water
L: -3 Wrap with vegan chilli, avo, chobani, cheese, lettuce; chobani apricot yogurt with a hand ful of muesli+4
This was weird because I was sort of hungry and then after I ate I was still hungry, or unsatisfied until I had the yogurt. I guess I worked out and had a small breakfast.
D: -3 1 dumpling, 1 dim sim, 2 piece sashimi; beef stir fry, rice, pork belly stir fry & pork curry; 1 glass wine +1
Dessert: -1 scoop chocolate gelato, scoop hazelnut gelato +4

So I am a bit unsure of the hunger ratings. I feel like I'm never ravaged when I eat, but I am hungry, but I feel like I'm either hungry or not hungry, so I'm not used to the different scales yet. -1 is barely hungry, -2 is getting hungrier -3 is need to eat - 4 is pretty hungry and -5 is ravaged. But I feel like I always eat at the same and it's when I notice I'm hungry. I'm not comfortable waiting and seeing if I get hungrier yet. Before dinner I was still full from lunch but then I got hungrier waiting there, and I didn't eat so much I was stuffed and I had room for gelato. COuld have done with 1 scoop but again, I think I'm not used to it yet. I am quite proud of myself though because I haven't eaten when not at all hungry, and today I had a nap and knew i was going out to dinner and normally I'd have a snack anyway just because a few hours had past so I was 'allowed' to eat but I didn't because I wasn't hungry. And although it felt weird having the yogurt after my wrap I definately felt more satisfied afterward.

I read this article last night. I really loved it. It's good because she describes everything at the beginning that I'm going through as well - that need to get all the unhealthy food out of your system, but I'm pretty pleased with my healthy choices. I still go to bed and think about breakfast, and plan my meals ahead but it's only been 3 days - early days yet!

I have a wedding tomorrow so I'm looking forward to that. It will be interesting as it will be 3 courses and you're never hungry by the end so I might try to make sure I'm extra hungry!
