I think I have all the ingredients to make that tofu dish tonight, but the pork looks really good too and I have been craving it lately! I am so, so impressed with how you are managing your cravings. You seem to really be doing well with IE. Ok, all the food int his post looks especially delicious.

It's definitely a little pricey :( Oh no, Lauren! That's a bummer. Good thing you like breakfast for dinner :) Tiffany - haha, I bet you can "hear" Adam say that! Thanks - I'm pretty proud of myself for not giving in. Morgan, I really do feel more "healthy and sane" in my attitude recently. I'm glad that it shows on the blog. Thanks for noticing :D Lisa - yeah, work is definitely a trigger for me. Great job on being aware as well! :grin: Laura - I enjoyed some without the sauce today and it's definitely still yummy. The sauce just adds a little fun to it. I like dipping stuff in ;) Natalie - thanks! I'm glad you like the blog. I hope you stay!! :mrgreen: Nicole - lunch time is my absolute favorite time to work out. My work is relatively flexible so I can take a little longer than an hour without anyone caring (as long as I get my work done at the end of the day it's all good). I feel like I have plenty of energy during lunch, it energizes me, and breaks up the day. You should definitely try it! :D Tanya - haha, I was wondering how my post made you crave waffles ;) Macduff - I don't think there is a problem with eating ice cream every night if that's a really comforting food for you and you balance it out with nutritious eats during the day. I think it's important not to deny yourself although if the apple/caramel dip works I guess it's a healthier alternative. Sounds like you're missing the ice cream though... Alison - yeah, those Paradise Bakery cookies are definitely hard to resist. Like I said, they are my crack of choice. I just knew that I didn't really want one, that it was the stress "craving it". It was an important learning experience. I think it's great that you are listening to your hunger cues more. I definitely have the same problem of "going through the motions" of eating my mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks, at times without actually being hungry. Adam - where is that poem of yours? :lol: Kate – we got the all natural, no antibiotics pork tenderloin. It’s definitely a little pricey :(

I can't! I love those cookies. I've never had a big problem with emo eating except for a hellish period at my old job. But boredom eating is a bigger issue. I've just cut out my morning snack and sometimes my afternoon snack because I realized I only at it because I wanted something. Now I wait till lunch to eat and only eat afternoon snack if I'm truly hungry. At least that's worked for the past 4 days :-) How can you resist Paradise Bakery?! I can’t! I love those cookies.

EVERY NIGHT. Every freaking night I was eating ice cream!!! So I've decided to make a conscious effort to eat an apple with that fat free caramel dip at night, after dinner. This is working splendidly. Although I've switched to eating my ice cream during my lunch hour... So my whole thing this summer was that I was eating a little bit of ice cream…every night.

Emotional eating is a big problem for so many people, and it takes time and becoming aware of yourself to figure out what is really going on. Kudos to you!
