Run Eat Repeat

By Cereal I Mean Cookies

Dinner

FacebookTweetPin
10 Jun

DSCN9956I had to pick up a few things from TJ”s after work. I have been eyeing this cereal for a while now. 

But didn’t want to get it because the nutritional info is not too good – Very high in calories for 3/4c serving. Who eats 3/4c cereal? Not this girl!DSCN9966

I caved and bought it to try. I had a few handfuls on the way home. Then, when I got home I had a little in a cup with milk. It works well both ways.DSCN9958

DSCN9964I like it, but I say it should be eaten as a dessert. These are more like cookies – not cereal. Do you like how I changed the box?

See, they’re filled with chocolate. It was like frosting.  DSCN9962

 

 

 

 

 

The one good thing about these cookies are they don’t have a ton of random ingredients:DSCN9967

 

This pretty  much ruined my dinner and I wasn’t hungry after all the cereal, but I still felt empty for some reason. So I ended up snacking a bunch. Boo. I didn’t taking pictures since it was a lot of mindless eating.

I took a walk to get away from the kitchen and then came back to a huge salad topped with leftovers.

DSCN9948My afternoon snack was going to be fruit and tea, but the fruit was “tingly” so I think it was bad. I drank the tea, but ditched the fruit.

My real snack ended up being the $4.00 hummus with broccoli. DSCN9952 DSCN9953

Intuitive Eating – I was genuinely full today after snacking, but I convinced myself to eat a “real dinner” and now I feel like crap. I am going to stop snacking before dinner time. If I’m really hungry I’ll have some afternoon fruit, but I always end up eating more than that and I’m never hungry for dinner! I don’t want to make a Rule that I only eat fruit before dinner, but I am NEVER hungry for dinner. I need to change something.

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      Geez that cereal would be dangerous around me! That looks so good!

      I know what you mean about the dinner thing–lately I haven’t been very hungry for dinner because of my snacks. I hope you can figure something out 🙂

      The cereal looks so tasty – I would have snacked on it too!!

      Finding a balance between listening to your hunger cues and acting based on conventional wisdom (dinner is important) is something I struggle with often. I suppose the best thing is just to take it one day, or even one meal or one bite at a time!

      Good luck 🙂

      I do that same thing. I overeat in the afternoons after work and then for dinner I convince myself I have to eat. But one day a light bulb went off and I realized I didn’t HAVE to eat dinner. If I’m not hungry for it, I don’t eat it.

      I feel weird sometimes when I cook dinner for my husband and he wonders why I’m not eating but I think he understands that sometimes I overdo it before he gets home and he doesn’t care so much that I don’t sit and eat with him.

      That cereal does look like dessert. I love cereal.

      That’s too bad you are too full for dinner. I do that sometimes as well. I hope you can find a happy medium!

      Have a great day!
