Boyfriend (Greg) is a bad influence on how much I eat! Mainly because he's motivated enough to deep fry delicious jalapenos; how am I supposed to resist? He made a wonderful dinner - even marinated the hamburgers - and I couldn't skip a thing. I think the best way to deal with it is to tell him more about my efforts to be healthier so he understands. He may even join me, which would be enormous support.
In recent years, the idea of "waste not, want not" has been a standard for me. Times where I couldn't afford food taught me to never leave anything behind. I'll have to work on stopping when I'm full, not until I feel I've got my money's worth. I plan to accomplish this through 1) cutting servings in half before eating, 2) eating slower, and 3) sharing more with Greg, who could use the extra calories much more than I!
All of these things require extra effort in day-to-day life. Since I'm on break from school, it's easier to incorporate these things into my daily routine; I hope that I don't let that change when school turns my schedule into chaos again. But yoga will begin and I think that will help me slow down a little bit and think about what's important to me.
PS - drink more water! Especially in the evenings!
