Saved by the TUMMY TIMER!

Being hungry is a very strange place to be. I am discovering that there are definitely different levels of hunger. I think if someone said to me when you hear the word hunger what is the first thought that comes to mind I would probably say like most people have the pictures of the little kids in Africa with the bloated stomachs and flies on them because they are to weak to move.
I have been to Africa and my dad travels there several times a year, and the reality is there are many very happy healthy children that live there too, but we always have to go to the extreme to paint a picture.
So I am trying to reevaluate what my first thought of hunger is. (Trying the avoid that whole drama thing!!!)
I used to be terrified of hunger and mortified at being full. I tend to be all or nothing.
When I allow myself to be so hungry and my mind turns into mush and reality takes a back seat and then I am off...... "A binging we will go."
So how do I conquer this. I know this is my key to reaching my ULTIMATE LIFE CHALLENGE.
So I have come up with the word TUMMY TIMER.
For me this is eating every two hours. It allows me to never be hungry and always getting to eat. Now that's not a bad deal.
So here is my schedule if it helps you. Try it out.

Wake up: Half a cup of yogurt right away. When you eat first thing it wakes up your metabolism.

Breakfast: Coffee, Fruit, Jenny Breakfast (1 carb, 1 fat, 1 meat) milk

Snack: Jenny Bar, fruit or celery with cream cheese.

Lunch: Jenny Lunch (1 carb, 1 fat 1 meat) salad and lite dressing with Parmesan cheese.

Snack: Veggies and lite dip

Dinner: Jenny Dinner (1 carb, 2 meats, 1 fat) lot's of steamed veggies or salad

Snack: Jenny snack (half cup popcorn for eg.) maybe sugar free jello with lite cool whip if needed the sweet.

You might look at all that and go how in the world will she lose weight with all that food to eat because it does seem like alot but there is no mindless eating involved.
My new mantra "THE BEST PART OF LOSING WEIGHT IS......EATING."
I no longer have to eat in secret and be embarrassed when I go out and think the entire restaurant is staring at me and hoping that I don't order fries, and so I would order a salad or something I thought I was suppse to have and go binge at home later in secret.

The secret is out "I EAT!"


No daily challenge today just have an amazing weekend and don't forget to eat and be healthy!!!
