Apperently size DOES Matter.

Weight: 268
Mood: Chipper

So this week has been really good. I've been eating really well and have more weight loss to show for it. One of my biggest problems during the week is just curbing my eating right before bed, and this week I feel like a champion, because I didn't have any moments where I caved into the urge of filling my face before I went to sleep.

During the week it's easier for me to make healthier choices, primarily out of convenience. The routine of the weekday dictates what I can prepare for my meals throughout the day. Here's a typical weekday for you as of late.

7:30-9:30 - Wake up, weigh-in, eat breakfast
9:30-11:00 - Hang out with the fam, twitter/facebook, chores (if I feel good)
11:00-11:45 - Prepare for work, make my lunch/dinner
11:45-12:00 - Curse the world for having to go to work
12:00-9:oo - Work. ugh.
9:00-Whenever - Hang out with Jade, watch some TV, facebook/twitter, whatever, and then go to bed.

The main reason I do so good during the week is because for a significant part of my waking day, I am eating out of a lunch pail. It's pretty easy to not snack when you can only eat the food you bring to work. Once the food is gone, you don't eat anymore.

The problem with me is, once the weekend rolls around, my lunch pail goes from this size:


To this.


Heh. Size matters. At least for me. See, I eat for all sorts of reasons, but usually, it's due to boredom. And when I sit around at home for a lengthy period of time, The lunch pail that I use during the week explodes in size to this giant metal monolith (awesome band name, btw.) at the focal point of my kitchen. This beast provides me with a seemingly endless variety of tasty treats.

So here's the plan, at least for today. I'm going to pack a lunch. I'm not going anywhere, but I'll fill my cooler with all sorts of good stuff, and just eat from that. And when the food is gone, I'm done. Should be pretty simple. We'll see how it goes. Have a good weekend everyone!
