Breakfast: An "Egg Beaters" asparagus frittata, with meatless breakfast sausages, slice of bread.
The sausages were dry and dense, but very good tasting.
Snack: Watermelon
Lunch: Tofu with steak sauce, green salad, nectarine, blueberries
I thought I would experiment with the block of tofu I had gotten last week and found this recipe online. I may have done something wrong, because the end result wasn't that great.
However, I ate a lot of it. My daughters tried it and liked it, but I think it was the extra steak sauce I poured on top of it.
This lunch left me unfulfilled... and led me to snack throughout the afternoon: watermelon, nuts, crackers with tofu "cheddar"... two glasses of white wine... which ultimately led me to blow it at dinner...
Dinner: Hummus. Mushroom pizza at California Pizza Kitchen. Glass of chardonnay
The pizza wasn't that bad health-wise: three types of mushrooms, cheese. What was bad was the quantity. I was tempted to stop half way through, but I didn't. Ate all but one slice.
Now, this is a departure from the past. Before I would have eaten every last piece of it and don't give it a second thought. But I believe that since I started this new approach with food, my stomach is slightly smaller.
So, there's progress in failure.
But this didn't stop when we left the restaurant. When I got home I attacked our snack pantry and ate two Reese's peanut butter cups.
* sigh *
It's very interesting to write about this, because it helps me see the pattern and how blowing the diet is a progression, not an explosion.
If I've had a fulfilling lunch, probably dinner would have been different. So, seems like the key is to tackle unfulfillment before it causes "pigging out" incidents.
