Well, Passover finished almost
a week ago. I did great (weight-wise) in the days leading up to the holiday.
During the week of the holiday I was less successful. Altogether I gained a few
kilos, most of which I have already lost.
The overeating during the
holiday must have stretched my stomach: the first few days following the end of
the holiday I was ravenous. However, I was committed to keeping to my eating
plan 100%. The fact that I had planned for several SMALL meals each day helped:
I was never THAT far from the next mini-snack.
However, Friday was especially
hard. Since we eat a certain amount of items for the Friday evening Shabbat meal,
my intake on Fridays is more restricted than normal. And after eating a small
breakfast, I simply felt like the two slices of toast that I had eaten had
disappeared into a bottomless pit: I was still as hungry as I had been before
eating.
What to do?
First, I decided to wait 10
minutes. Often it takes time for the stomach to send a message to the brain
that food has been ingested. In addition I got VERY busy. Finally I just told
myself the line that I always say when I am in this situation: "NOW you
are losing that extra weight!"
