As usual I am contemplating what to do about my eating...yes, even though I said that I wasn't going to worry about it anymore. I am more focused on my body and what it needs now though rather than losing weight. So I have been trying to decide if I need to eat breakfast. Almost everyone says that it is the most important meal of the day, but is it for me? I tend to think not. I am usually very satisfied with my coffee w/ milk in the mornings and don't get hungry at all. I do love my yogurt and oatmeal though, but I am thinking that I can always have them for lunch if I really want to. It also seems that if I eat breakfast I feel hungrier and just want to eat more.
I am going to consider this morning an experiment. I went ahead and ate my yogurt around 9 while waiting for more coffee to brew. It was good, but I just wasn't satisfied, so I had some peanuts, then some crackers, then 6 mini cookies. So eating breakfast lead to a mini binge...not what I would call good. I think that I may just put my eating times back a few hours maybe having breakfast for lunch, lunch for a snack in the afternoon and then dinner. I really need to cut out snacking...I don't need it and the calories can really add up.
Surfing the internet this weekend I found an interesting website for the No S Diet. I has 3 rules:
1. No sweets
2. No snacking
3. No seconds
Except for (sometimes) on days starting with S.
So you eat what you want as long as it fits onto 1 plate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It sounds easy enough, not even like a diet. I seriously need to set some ground rules for myself. My free for all diet anarchy eating is not going to end well I fear if I don't do something about it now. Once I can get some good habits established and get rid of my bad ones I should be a okay and on my way to my old clothes!

tori,
one thing to consider; if you don't have a plan of what you need to eat, i.e "x" amount of protein, "y" amount of carbs and fats, etc. each meal and when you are going to eat then it's easy to eat the "other" things first and not have room or motivation to eat what you need.
I don't think the specifics of your plan matters as much as that you have one and try to stick with it. when(if) you fall off, just get back on.
If you read some of tracy's earlier posts( 2006 early 2007) and see her basic eating plan it might give you some ideas.
keep up the good work and the only way you won't succeed is if you quit. you can do it!
Tori,
I only eat early (before, let's say, 11am) if I'm truly hungry. Sometimes, if I have a lower calories the day before I get hungrier early.
I used to try and go as long as possible before eating my first meal, but I had to relax and just accept the fact that I could set myself up for a binge if I pushed it
Thanks Mark and Tracy! You guys always have good ideas and advice. I have read all of Tracy's blog and re-read it from time to time...good stuff!
