Day 14

2 weeks.  Sugar free.  2 weeks.  Eating smaller portions.  2 weeks.  Nothing fried and no 'gritty' snacking (that's my term for my grazing/snacking habit - not sure why but it feels right.) 

Last night I was pretty hungry and I made some popcorn and ate it while watching a movie.  My 'full' self would say this is addictive behavior and not wise.  In fact, I knew it going in that I shouldn't do it.  But, compulsive overeating sometimes feels like a real slippery slope for me.  The fact that I have to negotiate this addiction 3 (or more) times a day and prepare and put food into my mouth creates some gray area.  Like, I want to say, at least I didn't eat a 1/2 gallon of ice cream.  Or 1/2 a pizza and some cheese sticks.  Or. Or.  Or.  But, it wasn't the best idea.  I did enjoy it though.  I think because I haven't eaten in front of the TV for 2 weeks (which feels like an eternity to me!) it was a nice treat.  That might be possible in my future.  Or not.  But, I did it without going overboard.  Strangely enough however, I do feel like I have a hangover today - very headachey.  But that could be a bunch of different things.  So some Tylenol with my tea this AM. 

I really need to make space for a mid-week meeting.  Really.  Maybe I can make that happen next week.  Can't wait until Saturday's meeting.  So weird to look forward to them.  Or maybe not so weird.  

(as an aside - the movie "Shutter Island" was excellent!!)
