I'm learning that it's a learning process ... eating well, not more than I need, smaller portions, etc. One thing I'm finding out is that I need to learn what fills me up. From tracking what I eat - cals, fat, carbs, etc and also knowing my reactions, I've found there are quite a few things I eat that don't satisfy my hunger, therefore I eat more. But if I'd have eaten something that would satisfy my hunger then I wouldn't have had to eat again. So I need to keep track of how my stomach feels too after I eat that way I can eat smarter and know what will fill me up and what won't. I'm also eating smaller portions - instead of eating a "serving" as indicated by the nutritional guide, I'll eat a half a serving. Getting smarter I am!!
With the money thing, I did have a weak moment this weekend and bought a purse and some girly stuff in Boerne today. I felt really guilty after having guilted Josh out of Subway on Saturday to save money, but I know he buys his fishing stuff, and I have spent way more on bar tabs than I did on this purse and stuff. However, we spent WAY less this weekend eating at home, not eating out, not drinking excessively. Just imagine what we can do once we continue to do that!
