Trying to change eating habits

I have spent Friday, Saturday , Sunday, and yesterday really thinking hard about the food I am putting in my mouth and trying to learn the difference from boredom eating and true hunger eating. My grazing days are over. I am either eating a meal to fuel my body or I am eating a healthy snack until the next meal. No more bites here and bites there, some of this and some of that, just because it is there. I turned down chocolate this weekend for the first time ever. I stared at it all day and never helped my self. In terms of the food I do eat there is still a lot of healthier choices I could be making but I am just trying to control my eating patterns for now, and when I have that under control, I will focus harder on nutrition. I am trying to find foods that will keep me fuller longer so I don't have to eat too often, the more often I have to eat the more often I will have the temptation to make the wrong choices. I am a food addict yet I still have to eat. Can you imagine if an alcoholic had to drink three times a day but still control their addiction????? This is very hard.

Now for the good news, at my highest weight in the last few months of 238.5 I am now 228!!! My first 10 pounds are gone!!! Bye bye 230's!!!!
