Today was full of lessons. First of all by 8pm, I had adhered to my diet and kept my calorie intake to 1480 (my target range is under 1600). HOWEVER, I had been struggling with serious hunger all day long. By the time I got home, the hunger situation was absolutely miserable. I had already drank 96 oz. of water throughout the day, so that was not the solution. I can't do diet drinks because of side effects from aspartame. Anyway, I should have considered eating fruit, but since I had eaten a lot of that during the day, I was doubtful it would have solved my problem. So, I decided that I would listen to my body and eat something fairly substantial, a peanut butter sandwhich on whole wheat. Still hungry I ate 1.5 servings of cereal with walnuts and soymilk. That solved the problem, but now I tacked on an extra 700 calories or so. I didn't eat another lean cuisine meal (which would have been perfect,only 300 or so calories) because I had already had 2 of them throughout the day and I need to watch my sodium intake because my ankles are really swollen. I think next time, I will eat fruit and eat substitute eggs because I had been eating that in the evenings throughout the week. I need to have protein on hand. While I could have had a granola bar, I really didn't want anything that sweet. My tastes have changed since starting this diet. Well, tomorrow is another day. I can honestly say I did the best I could under the circumstances.
