Crow is the wrong word. But you can see it that way.
I’ve been trying to get my head in the right place, but it’s not going according to plan. Yesterday I talked about making a success of weight control by creating the world I wanted to live in. I didn’t make it today! Luckily, tomorrow is a new day and soon there will be a new week.

400 more than I wanted
These days, feeling full doesn’t feel nice and comforting the way I used to believe it did. Now, it feels strange. It also gives me a bad feeling, like failure. Luckily, it’s for today only. Tomorrow is guaranteed to be a new day that could be good.
Today, I felt hungry when I woke up – unusual. I also got quite hungry around 10AM, but didn’t do anything about it until 11.30 when I had lunch. Then I was hungry again at 2, and I had a chicken wrap with lettuce and tomato, at 3PM. I can see I was already making myself feel deprived! Too much waiting. This kind of thing has gotten unusual, most of the time my food routine is predictable. In the past I have tried to satisfy these kind of sudden, urgent hunger feelings. Sometimes that works.
At dinner I was quite hungry, and felt like having more dinner. I did! But after dinner, I felt, not quite hungry, but rather deprived. And here I am, 700 calories later.
Tomorrow I will try again. That’s the beauty of the system: every day is a new day that you can get right. My goals are achievable, but difficult, and that challenge makes this worthwhile.
