Well... Today I found out something about myself... I have a JUNK FOOD MONKEY on my back !!!!!!!! I never realized how much I "nibble" on junk food throughout the day!!! I've had a banana smoothie this morning and Watermelon (my new daily staple) for lunch, but unconsciously I have been just poppin' chocolate chip cookies!!! HOW IN THE WORLD DID THAT HAPPEN!!!! I wasn't even really aware that I had been nibbling on them! How many have I had!!!!!!! Oh, my God!!! O.k...today I think I had 4, so now it stops! NO MORE COOKIES OTHER THAN RAW ONES!!!!!!!!! So, here I go to make some!

It's amazing what you eat when you're not really aware of it! I think the cookes were hidden inbetween the cooked food and I didn't realize how well they went together! Now that I'm aware of this monkey, gotta SHAKE HIM OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ahhhaaaa ReneeH!! I can see how that can happen - it's so unconscience - we just reach and stick it in our mouths without even thinking! My gf did that yesterday - there are certain things we cannot eat because of Hula - one of which is cheese - and she started eating a sandwich and stopped mid chomp and looked at me with horror in her eyes and mumbled... 'whhat do i dooo?? there's cheese in here??' I just laughed and said - swallow it!

    It's so easy to be unaware of what you're eating. It's always good to think about before you put anything in your mouth, why am I eating this? Am I really hungry, or is it habit? Or am I bored? Often when we think we're hungry we're really thirsty, so I like to drink a bunch of water first, then if in 30 minutes I'm still hungry eat something. And I'm not perfect either, I do still cave in to cravings or eating when i'm not really hungry. I think it gets easier as time goes on.
