Today's Food

So, Gwen says that the heavier you are, the LESS often your body will get hungry because it knows it has LOTS of fat to burn and it may get hungry once, maybe twice per day. She is correct. At 340 pounds, I find that I may get TRULY hungry, once, maybe twice per day.

I have been drinking protein shakes with fruit for my first meal of the day because I found a protein shake that I love (long time ago) and because I am lazy and it's easy to just throw almond milk, bananas and protein powder in my Nutribullet.

For dinner, I eat whatever the heck I want, but ONLY enough to take away the growl. Here is what I consumed today:

1.  2:00pm is when hunger first hit: 1 Protein shake: 25 grams of protein powder scoop, 1/2 banana, 1 cup almond milk, 1 cup water. With 1/2 peach and 2 chile spiced mango slices from Trader Joe's
2. 8:30pm is when hunger hit again: 1/2 of a quesadilla half (shown below) - some random quesadilla from Trader Joe's
3. It is 9:24pm right now and I feel the growl coming on again. I will probably eat the other 1/2 before going to bed or watching some t.v. 

HOW CAN YOU SURVIVE ON SO LITTLE FOOD? 

 Exactly what I thought, but it takes so little to actually satisfy me. I've been overfeeding myself for years!! 

Update #1: Full growl right now at 9:29pm and I just ate the little left over portion on my plate above. I will sit for a bit and see if the growl comes back and then will take a few bites of the other 1/2. I will eat slowly to make sure to not eat past satisfaction. I don't like feeling stuffed.

Update #2: I was VERY hungry and ended up eating the other 1/2 like I said I would.
