Mom's Always Right

So, even as an adult I'm still learning from my mom. Apparently my mom had it right all along. My family and I always picked on her for being the last one to finish her meal, but I guess the last laugh was on me. The answer to my weight problem was in front of my face all this time and I never knew it. Well, I guess as the saying goes, better late than never, right?

I feel lazy today. I have to get moving soon to get to my nephew's lacrosse tournament, but my head is saying, this couch is sooo comfortable.

I ate cereal this morning for breakfast. Then about an hour later I was on to lunch. I know you're only to eat when you're hungry but sometimes that's not always realistic. My nephew's game starts at 1, which means we have to leave at 12:30. I truly loathe the thought of those darn port-a-pots so I tried to eat and drink in enough time to allow my body to digest before going leaving the house. I actually feel just right, so it's not that I over ate. But sometimes some of my old tricks come back to haunt me. When I start craving something I tend to confuse reality vs. craving. I make myself believe that I am truly hungry when in fact it's just my mind's way of getting me to eat what I am craving for at that moment. I did want to bake 2 p.b. cookies (from those pre-made cookies from Tolle House where all you have to do is bake 'em). I used to make the whole pack at one shot and eat like 6 cookies at a time. Then I smartened up and only bake 1-2 cookies at a time which forces me to only eat that amount because till you warm up the oven again to make more, the craving for more cookies has past. Well, I don't know if I waited out the craving or if it was just plain old laziness, but either way I never got up to turn on the oven and now I'm glad I didn't. It's like trying to be Goldilocks every day-Not too hungry, not too full, just right.

Well, gotta run.
