I think this is my first post in this forum since the course started in Feb. Anyway, I got behind at the beginning and finally got caught up. I’ve been journaling through this process, but I haven’t been saying much here, which I realize I probably should.
Today I successfully used TIMES, and I was really proud of myself. I was cleaning the kitchen around 9:30 am when I started to get a little hungry. I ate breakfast only a couple of hours before, and while it wasn’t particularly healthy or filling, I also knew I didn’t need to eat again for a while. So I told myself I could wait until 11:30 to have lunch and got back to my to-do list. Around 11:30, the hunger kicked in again, so since it was now time, I had lunch. I then used PLANS by making a healthy salad and telling myself that this was my meal and it was sufficient. It was delicious and I didn’t even finish it before I was full and satisfied enough. I hope that these were correct ways to use times and plans. I have had a habit of picking and snacking in between meals and also eating too much at meals, so I think these strategies will help me work through it.
