Hello! Did you guys run a 5K Friday today?! I did. My friend Susan actually met me for a run this morning. I took this pic while waiting for her 
After my 3.1 mile run I made a yogurt bowl for breakfast. Chobani pineapple, cereals, apple banana and almond butter. This was super filling! 
It’s so weird that these apple bananas look like bananas and taste like apples! 
I took pictures of my lunch in the work lunch room, but realized I really needed to get out of the office for a few minutes. 
Someone from another office walked in during my photo shoot and saw me taking pictures, but didn’t say anything. They just silently judged me. I am now the building weirdo. It’s funny because it’s true. 
I packed a salad and a lot of snacks! I’ll probably have the popcorn or Vitatop with lunch.
Plus a chocolate greek yogurt for protein power. I haven’t tried these yet, so I hope they’re good. 
But, then packed it up and went to…. SONIC. I am obsessed and it’s not good for my bank account.
But being outside in Southern California on a beautiful day like this is good for my soul 
So I’m chomping on lunch and downing too many chemicals in the form of Diet Coke in an effort to keep my sanity. 
Intuitive Eating – Sorry it’s taken me so long to recap my appointment. My heart and head were somewhere else yesterday.
Evelyn and I went over what I think is my problem and she asked me a lot of questions about my eating habits and beliefs. It’s so therapeutic to say things aloud.
She thinks I don’t eat enough during the day and that’s why I over eat at night. I think she is the crazy one. I think I have a bad history of habitual and emotional eating. So, I have homework to figure out my hunger, habits, timing, satisfaction and more.
Can I just say that I LOVE that she is both an R.D. and a therapist. My body and my brain both need work 
Intuitive Eating Homework – I have worksheets that I am to fill out throughout the day. I record the time, how hungry I am, what I ate, how satisfied I am and my fullness. All of it is on a scale of 1-10. 
I’m going to do this for two weeks until my next appointment to try and get a better understanding of my hunger and eating patterns. I think this is going to be super helpful for me to get to know my body’s needs.
One of the points Evelyn made though was – these worksheets are supposed to be a tool NOT a burden. I will use them as much as I can, when I can – but my life should not change to accommodate them. They should record my life as is, just with the addition of a few minutes of notes each day.
I have another homework task, but I’ll talk about that later.
Please let me know if you have any questions. She really wants me to use the blog as a tool and write my little heart out about this journey. Chime in as needed.
Question: Have you ever had a problem that other people didn’t think was a problem? What was it?
