Happy presence

A couple of posts back I wrote about emotional eating and how sometimes in the early evening I find myself subconsciously eating. I posted that I almost didn't realise I was doing it.

Almost - because I did realise, I was choosing to overlook it. It was me though, me taking bread out of the wrapper and stuffing it in my mouth whilst I was preparing dinner.

So here's the thing, I had been food focused all day and there I was cooking a balanced nutritional meal and yet I was snacking minutes before dinner. 

So I knew I was doing it, I just wasn't being mindful, wasn't present in the moment of eating something that was unnecessary and actually not that appealing.  

So I've learned that I need to be present at every moment. If you are truly present and focused on what's good for you and what will make you happy, you'll do the right thing.

Today my entries in My Diet Diary were reflective of mindful choices and eating and there weren't any additional carbs consumed mindlessly.
