Day 2

Day 2/Meal 1: A cheddar cheese, peppered salami, garlic mayo, onion and tomato sandwich on ciabatta.
What I find really interesting is that I have really been taking to sandwiches.... while on weight watchers I didn't like sandwiches much... because I used light cheese or no cheese, used fat free mayo or 1 tbs mayo max, only allowed 1 or 2 pieces of meat, and used thinly sliced 'healthy' bread. Now on my sandwiches I just ignore those things and just use what I want!

For this sandwich on ww I would have had light cheese, only 2 pieces of meat, tracked the mayo and not use ciabatta but lighter bread.

It was very delish and I enjoyed it. I left about 1/4 of it. There was some cheese and meat in the last bite and I couldn't leave it... I had to eat it and that was a bit compulsive of me.

I also allowed myself to have some juice... which I haven't let myself do on "good days" for 3 years.

Last night I had a small glass too and watered it down with La Croix which is technically restricting because I made it stretch as if I couldn't have anymore after that.

I ate at 12:45 and I am starting to get hungry at 5:20 PM.

Day 2/Meal 2 - Sushi
I rarely ate sushi on ww cause the quantity for the points wasn't worth it for me. I've also been craving this forever!!! And now I've had it. Eaten at 6:30. I didn't feel full on this. I did leave one peace behind because I don't want food to control me -- I control if I want it. Let's see how full it keeps me cause Erik and I call it sushi full when you're full of sushi but kinda hungry still.

Day 2/Meal 2.5 - Cupcake


While eating my sushi I started craving the cupcake I brought. I thought maybe I can just have a marshmallow but then I was like no that's restricting. That would be an attempt to quickly and easily appease myself for a small amount of calories, and then I would probably binge later, or keep thinking about food, or snack until satisfied which I never would be. And the sushi didn't make me full full so I wasn't too worried about over eating. So I said no I gotta give myself access and the freedom and not restrict and it was delish and amazing. And now I'm happy and won't have to binge on the other food I brought cause I feel good.I feel 'full' but not over full or gross. Just super satisfied.

Day 2/Meal 3 - Steak and Cheese on Flatbread from Subway

So after my cupcake I waited and didn't eat anything until I was hungry again.
I was brainstorming about what I might eat when I got home.
Erik picked me up from work, and he had our most favourite subway... steak and cheese with bacon on flatbread! I only eat this on cheat days normally, because it's so much points. I didn't 'choose' this food but I was okay with that, because Erik thought of me and brought it for me! It was absolutely delish.I tried leaving a bite of it but I couldn't because it was just so yummy. I probably did not need the whole thing - was for sure full when I finished it.

Day 2/Meal 3.5 -
When I got home, I was NOT hungry but I wanted dessert. And I knew by following the "eat only when you are hungry rule" would get to me too much... So I let myself have this ginger cookie because I was craving it ALL DAY. But not letting myself have it I would have felt super restricted. It was super delish and I was able to stop at this one cookie and feel good.
