So had a pretty difficult day yesterday as far as eating goes. I didn't eat poorly just had a lot of food. I was ravenous again. Think I ended up eating almost 2000 calories. The only reason I didn't eat more was because I logged everything and saw that I was almost to 2000 calories. The journal saved me from myself!
Thinking back, I really did eat some snacks just to eat. It wasn't because I was hungry or because I was trying to eat something every 3 hours or so. It was because I wanted to snack. Hhmmm. Why do I do that? Maybe because my calorie consumption has been really erratic. My goal is to eat 1,800 cal/day. I've been really fluctuating...1200, 2000, 1300. Probably not eating consistently hasn't helped at all. Not to mention the emotional/psyche issues I still need to deal with!
Today is a new day. Putting up some more decorations inside the house (I know it's late!) It's 10:30pst and I still haven't eaten breakfast...I need to get on the ball! I'll continue to track my calories and try to pause before I put something into my mouth.
Hope everyone has an awesome Monday!

My calorie intake is all over the place too, but on the bright side, I recently read an article that said that is better than eating the same amount of calories each day. Caveat: as long as you don't exceed your total calories for the week and don't have extreme fluctuations. They recommended if your goal is 1800 cal, then have 1700 one day, 1900 the next for example. So you have some flexibility.
Good for you logging everything in and having that stop you from eating more. The journal has definitely saved me a few times too. Sometimes there are foods that surprise you. I had a really unfortunate pot pie incident a few weeks ago. Who knew such a small little pie could have 1000 calories. I wished I had logged it before I ate it.
Anyway, don't get discouraged, keep up the logging and you see big differences.
