Recalibrate

So last night wasn't a Binge in the true sense, but I was frustrated with myself for not being able to resist the chips and cake rolls. I started asking myself what was different yesterday. I came up with a few things.

1. I was counting calories not fullness for both breakfast and lunch.

2. Didn't drink enough water.

3. Made decisions about food when I was tired.

I looked up calorie allocation recommendations for meals. Like, we all know the 2000 calorie per day thing. But I never really thought about how that breaks down per meal. And since one of my big issues is not eating breakfast OR lunch, just having a snack to get me through. Then having a dinner binge followed by excessive snacking as I spiral out of control every evening.

It's recommended to have 300 calories at breakfast, 5-700 calories at both lunch and dinner. 

So today I had a two packs of oatmeal (150 cal ea) for breakfast instead of one. I got up late today so I will probably forego lunch in lieu of a snack. 

Baby steps. I'm trying to make slightly better food choices, but honestly my focus right now is HOW I eat, not what I eat.
