Mindless is what I'm trying to break. This really does help. Tracking and confessing so to speak. Good job for starting again. It's only been 18 days for me. I thought it would be harder, but not so bad.  

Not so bad for the tracking I mean...ha...work in progress...I hear it just gets better and better.  

Us mindless eaters don’t eat cause we are hungry 🙃 we eat cause we can, and our body suffers the consequences 😰 our health too ☠️ 

Track, track religiously track and eventually it will become a habit to eat less, to Pay attention to what you eat and tummy will also get full with less food 

This takes time and patience, lots of time and patience 

Spot on, rosio19! I'm really trying. And I track every bite also. Haven't taken pics tho. I dont think I've ever taken pics of food, except for birthday cakes..haha 

Thanks for the support! Tracking and then not tracking led to success and relief (tracking actually works.) Also it compelled me to investigate what's behind the mindlessness/begged the question 'Why was it so easy to not give myself a second thought?' 

Tracking absolutely works! Takes mindless out of the equation. I know that I'm just a hungry, hungry hippo who loves to eat. I need an adjustment to get out of that mindset. Takes time. Some days I know I have reached my RDI and am so hungry and/or want my old go's to's, I just power through any way I can. It's a battle and not an easy one. We will get there eventually. Wishes us all the perseverance and energy to get through.
