Ever Feel Like You Have To Keep Eating and Eating and Eating
Do you ever have days that it feels like your stomach is a bottomless pit and you are being forced to eat and eat and eat until it’s full??!! Well….that’s what’s going on with me today – actually this entire week with the exception of Monday when I was sick:(
I am sure that there is some scientific explanation or that I ate too many carbs at my last meal or that my level of exercise has increased however none of that means anything to me while I am scavenging my pantry to find something that will satisfy this little man inside my belly that is screaming to be fed – well at least that’s what I thought as an imaginative child! LOL!
So how do I beat the screaming beast? I eat but I stay on track and allow myself a little something extra such as chocolate and peanut butter combined. Don’t get all excited because this is not a free pass to eat candy however I do indulge in a protein shake filled with chocolate protein, water and ice, a tablespoon of Smart Balance Peanut Butter and a splash of unsweetened coconut milk…..don’t worry no coconut taste just a rich creamy shake that kinda makes me feel like I’m having a Cold Stone Double Chocolate Birthday Cake Milk Shake! Ok maybe not quite but pretty darn close and there goes my cravings, the bottomless pit has been filled to the brim and the little screaming man in my belly has quieted down. The best part, I didn’t “fall off the wagon” and my guilty conscience is reserved the fact that I snapped at Paul for trying to help me cook dinner! LOL
So hopefully this helps you out and you can stay on track without blowing it and having to start all over on your journey! You can check out other tasty recipes in my EatFit LiveFit Cookbook at http://www.shapingconcepts.com/eatfit-cookbook.php

As Tina’s Mom I really do understand that one!! Here is the real reason for my comment, I tries the eating close to the ground and fasting for 2 weeks and I felt alot better even thought I only lost 4 lbs. (due to being 52 yrs old and Eve listening to the serpent who must have been of the male gender !! LOL) but, even with that the really great news is that I have been following Tina’s program for about a yr. and my cholestral went from 286 to 240 Yeah!! So, Thanks Tin keep up the great work!!
