8. I love that feeling you get when you are (presumably) losing weight. It’s a slightly empty feeling. Not gnawing hunger – I don’t like that feeling at all – but just a lightness and lack of congestion in the stomach.
I try not to eat after about 7pm. Or 8, depending on how my day is going. And I try and have the right amount to avoid feeling hungry before I go to sleep, but to feel light-of-stomach. That won’t happen if I’ve been stuffing my face all day, even if I stopped mid-afternoon, but as much as I can, I like to feel like that.
I don’t find this difficult. It would have been when I was a teenager, when it didn’t matter how full my tummy was, the idea of eating still held enormous appeal, if not compulsion. But, fortunately, I had the metabolism to match.
I love that slightly empty feeling and must concentrate on making sure that I feel it more often as my scales are showing horrible numbers to me right now.
Good for you losing weight. I really need to do the same.
Thanks Debs. Yes, I’m not quite game to stand on scales these days. Fitting into favourite old clothes is my guide. And feeling good.
Nicer to use the clothes as a guide for weight loss coz where we might lose weight off our hips we might gain muscle around our bum, which weighs more, so scales sometimes fib
Exactly, Jane. They don’t always tell the full story and might deflect us from the result we are really after.
