Back On Track

So I just cut up and measured 8 days worth of food, can you imagine? 8 days. That was just the meat of course, the rest is bits and baubles. I am happy to know that I have over a weeks worth of food ready to go. It's a good feeling. Granted, it's all steak, but I had a LOT of steak because I am a carnivore. And it only cost 27.58, who knew I could eat for a week on 27.58? I didn't.

It's amazing, after measuring all of my food and eating in proper portions rather than American "portions", to see how much food I used to eat. It's only been a week and my entire view of food has changed. I hope that I don't backslide, which is what I tend to do. I love to eat, that's just how it is, but I am learning that loving to eat doesn't have to mean that you eat until you can't anymore... except maybe on Thanksgiving and X-Mas =P.

Also, I have found that having to weigh my food and measure it out and cook it makes me want to eat so much less than I wanted to before. As a matter of fact I have found myself wanting to skip eating just because I was so sick of cooking. =D

I have calmed considerably. I am happy with my decision dammit and no amount of stress is going to make me think otherwise. Yay for moving! Huzzah!
