It was close on the
scale, but it wiggled on the 188 mark, a pound and a half down
from yesterday. I don't tend to get to excited about anything, but
I'm thinking about it!!
For a change, I had no
snacks after dinner. That was tough!. That, plus a long walk on the
beach in the evening, (Nice sunset), compensated for junk
snacking at Bernie's earlier in the day.
I got the Marvin the
mouse story nailed down pretty good today and checked it out with a
new writing group.
If you minor things
around the house, and a walk with Jean in the morning. Food wise, I
probably ate less today than any day in the recent past.
Taste
and Flavor Triggers
One thing I've noticed
is that hunger is just an empty feeling, or feeling of something not
quite right in my stomach. That I can deal with for hours, and it
goes away entirely, if I'm occupied with something important. But
once I eat something, I have a taste trigger in my mouth, and
in my head, that focuses the sensation of hunger, and cranks up the
need for more food. This is the reason for an old rule of mine,
about the order in which I eat food at a meal.
When eating, I always
save the least favorite food for last, so the last taste trigger
in my mouth will be the one I would least want more of.
Think
about it!!
Try popping something
you really like in your mouth, say, as salted peanut. That fires up
all sorts of flavor triggers, and you are probably reaching
for the next while you are still chewing. This is the whole concept
behind snacks. Small items you don't feel guilty about eating, one
after the other, but all are huge flavor bombs, blasting your taste
buds.
Now take the next
peanut and wash it off with hot water. Yep, get all the salt and
excess oils off, and pop that in your mouth. It still has a bit of
peanut flavor, but it sure ain't much of a flavor blast like the last
one. Now which one of those would you be more likely want more of?
Can
our hero, hit that 170 pound mark?
Stay
tuned for more adventures of Fat Boy!
