It was a good day today - the 2nd day of a new eating plan usually is.  The 1st and 3rd are the hardest, I find....

1) I motivated myself by reading:
 - My Advantages Deck
 - My Response Cards
2) I weighed myself just once (-0.5)
3) I ate everything slowly, while sitting down & enjoying every bite
4) I gave myself credit throughout the day for every positive eating behavior
5) I got moving by doing
- Planned exercise (3 mile run)
6)
- I identified hunger v non-hunger every time I wanted to eat
- I tolerated hunger & non-hunger without eating
- I recognized that fullness sets in 20 minutes after a meal
- I stopped eating when my food was gone
7) I filled in my Food Plan Chart
8)
- I followed my plan precisely
- I used Resistance Techniques

10) I contacted my Diet Buddy

I was especially proud of myself for sticking to my plan.  I got hungry, tired & unmotivated, but didn't compensate with food - I had some tea, worked on some simple projects, and got through it!  I also had a good run - longest official run in my 5-finger shoes, and it felt good.  Yay!
