Day 29

Another cool and sunny morning here in Oklahoma.  Love this time of year!  

Woke up without hunger again this morning.  Seems to be a reoccurring situation.

I do remember growing up, I wasn't a big breakfast person.  I would drink Carnation Instant Breakfast (chocolate of course) some mornings but most of the time, I didn't eat.  At some point, I started taking the traditional advice that breakfast is the most important meal of the day instead of listening to my own body.  This definitely works against me.  MY natural cycle is to start getting hungry around 10:00.  This lends itself very well for brunch or early lunch.  Occasionally I am hungry for breakfast and if so, I eat. Go figure.  Eat when you're hungry, don't eat if you're not.

That's what I love about the CAD. It works with my body instead of against it.  Another thing I love is the flexibility.  I eat my main meal when I have the most hunger.  Sometimes it's lunch, sometimes it's dinner.  But the #1 reason I love the CAD is I am no longer chained to my food obsession.  It's day 29 and food is no longer my #1 priority like before.  I no longer wonder right after breakfast what I will have for lunch.  Or after lunch what I will have for dinner.  I don't pour over food porn (those beautiful food blogs) any longer.  I will look up a recipe occasionally but I don't spend hours looking at their other posts.  I rarely talk about food anymore either.  I will ask Hubs for dinner suggestions but I don't dwell on it.  It's a wonderful thing!

Didn't eat a sweet treat at my Reward Meal today. Just wasn't feeling it.  Besides, between the bread & the pasta, my carb desire was definitely sated. 

Since I had no breakfast & a hearty, homemade lunch, I decided to keep it easy tonight and have Breakfast-For-Dinner! Though I would love to have coffee, I'm opting for hot tea instead.  Much less caffeine so I won't be up until the wee hours. 

Breakfast:  Coffee with cinnamon Cool Whip.
Lunch:  Reward Meal:  Pasta with meat sauce, spinach salad with Caesar, garlic toast.
Dinner:  Omelet with cheddar cheese, onion, green pepper, bacon, & salsa and hot tea.
