Today we talked about the progress I have made with exercise. I have been eating emotional at night lately. We talked about the idea I have that since I have just worked out, I deserve to overeat or have something my body doesn't want. We decided that actually this is just a rationalization for using food to comfort, relieve anxiety, or cure boredom. I am going to try and separate my hunger and fullness from my emotions and then I will wait an hour or two after dinner to decide if I am really hungry for more.
Before my next meeting:
- Read the Emotional Eating chapter again
- Pay attention to hunger and fullness (separate emotions)
- I'm going to look up sprint triathlon training programs
- I'm going to swim 2X, jog 2X, and bike 2X a week
- Cook 1/week
- Cooking show podcast
