I ate a cup of lentils, about half of my field greens with turkey, about half of my serving of mashed butter beans, and couldn't even look at the corn-on-the-cob. Four hours later I got hungry again, so I had the corn and a banana, and started to eat an apple but couldn't finish eating it. I was still feeling a bit too full a couple of hours later ( I tried to finish the apple, but just couldn't), so I went for a walk, and here I am, still pleasantly content! I know we have fluctuations in our appetites, but on days when I work out, I'm usually unable to satisfy my hunger for very long. Besides the little walk this evening, I did my usual hour of speed walking/running that I do 3 times a week, so I should be starving!
I hope this means I've moved into the part of the program where you are satisfied with eating less and less. I don't have a lot of weight to loose, but I've struggled to loose the extra pounds from my last pregnancy for almost 7 years now. It is amazing to me that I am eating less without struggling, without angst, without feeling deprived.
Gratefully,
Sheila
