So I got over the stomach bug, and my appetite came back for the first time today, and I found myself wondering: What should I eat?
There really aren't any "shoulds," I guess. I'm in maintenance for the first time ever. I have a little weight chart that I'm watching. I go back "on a diet" if the chart goes up too high. And I'm expecting I might overdo it and have to make a correction. But for now, I guess… no rules.
Weird.
I ate a normal breakfast, scrambled eggs with carrot and onion, and found my stomach growling with hunger about 9 AM. I started to think to myself, Only an hour and a half till snack time, and then it occurred to me: I'm hungry. I guess… I could eat. Now.
Oooookayyyy… so I had some peanut butter toast, and then I was fine till lunch.
At bedtime the kids ate Frosted Mini Wheats and I nibbled on them. Broke a rule! I said I'd given up bedtime snacks for good, and then there they were, little sugar-frosted whole-wheat bite-size tempters. Didn't. Even. Count. Them.
I suppose I am wondering how much I can get away with.
Supposedly, I know how to correct it if it goes wrong.
It's all still really new.
