Food Journaling

What I've eaten:

One large glass of milk
One buttermilk roll
One small portion of lasagna
One good-sized amount of asparagus
More grapes
A cherry yogurt (dessert)

My thoughts:

I'm so proud of myself right now. I ate so much less than I normally do at dinner, and I had lots of good stuff. I sat at the table (not in front of the TV) and ate my dinner and enjoyed it. And because of the asparagus and grapes, I feel much fuller without feeling sick. Now, I just have to make sure that, if I want to snack after dinner, I eat a Luna bar or grapes or some cheese.

But I'm going to declare Day Five a SUCCESS.

I'm rather happy right now. I ate to enjoy food and to give myself energy and ward off hunger, but I didn't really overindulge. I kept my portions of not-entirely healthy stuff down while still having enough to enjoy and to feed myself and I made sure I ate a lot of good stuff in abundance. I can do this!
