Hi Helena,
Donut peaches are just the same as regular just flatter and smaller. I prefer them to regular ones now.
If I were you I would keep a note on your MFP diary, there is a space at the bottom I think, as to how you feel that day i.e. hungry, starving, satisfied as I found that certain meal combinations will leave me full for hours or hungry in an hour. For me cereal at breakfast is a big no as it leaves me ravenous by 9.30. I find a decent portion of protein balances me for the day. Sometimes it's egg on toast other times greek yogurt and fruit or maybe smoked fish on toast.
I also found that during the course of a month I would have a "not hungry" week, a couple of normal eating weeks and a "starving" week. As time went by I realised this was how my body worked.
I don't buy too much stuff with artificial sweetners in these days as they taste far too sweet to me. I also don't worry too much about having a full fat yogurt now and again either as long as it's a plain variety.
One bad day doesn't make you lose any less weight it just slows the process a little, unless you allow it to send you totally off track. I started out just aiming for more good days than bad days in a week and found a little routine that worked for me.
Hi Tranq
I keep a biro-written diary in a notebook that is on my desk all the time. I am already making the connections that you mention. For example, I really enjoyed having a chopped up Granny Smith and a Conference pear combo for brekkie, the sharpness of the apple being combined with the bland but tasty pear... however, 20 minutes later my stomach was groaning like a chasm and I thought I would faint with hunger. So I have decided that fruit is a no-no for breakfast - it has to be fat, protein and some kind of fibrous or slow release carb like wholewheat or maybe potato. Fruit is now relegated to an after meal treat.
Smoked fish on toast, that is a great idea. I have some smoked cod in the freezer, intended to have it with potatoes. I found also that tinned pilchards are brilliant on toast because the tomato sauce means you don't need any spread on the bread.
You are right. I am only 11 days into this new WOE and it will take time to find out how my body responds to it, and what its rhythms are. Perhaps when I am hungry I should call a cab and take myself to the swimming pool, where there is nothing to eat!
Slight digression ~ there IS stuff to eat at my local public "health" (huh!) and "fitness" (huh!) centre, where the pool is located, but it is pure, unmitigated junk. There is a tiny cafe in reception selling sugary, white-flour baked goods, like croissants, pastries, giant cookies and muffins, strong coffee, hot chocolate, milk shakes and sugary soft drinks; vending machines full of chocolate bars, biscuits and crisps, and I have even seen packets of sweets stuck under our noses on the reception counter, being sold for kids' charities!
I note that many of the ladies in the aquafit class, having burned off 100 calories with half an hour of gentle movement, will replace them with 500 to 700 calories of sugar and white flour in the hour they spend chatting in the cafe afterwards. Because the cafe is located in the reception rather than in a separate room, the seductive aromas of hot chocolate, pastries and croissants permeate the air. The place terrifies me and I always pinch my nose and head straight out before I can possibly get tempted.
There used to be an electronic weighing machine in the cafe area, which issued a print out of ones weight. I'd been using this for many years until February, when it was permanently removed from the premises, along with all the other weighing machines like the one at the gym and at the other swimming pools. There is also a similar cafe at the gym, by the way.
So, at our gym and pool, you can have a hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows, and a sickly sugary Danish pastry, but you cannot weigh yourself!
It would be hard to explain to a visiting Martian just what is going on at what is supposed to be a "temple of health".

. I don't eat breakfast myself any more, as it just makes me hungrier! I'm just about to have my first food of the day, an Eat Natural Bar with coffee, then I'll have lunch at 3pm, snacks in the evening, and dinner at 10pm - that's my preferred eating pattern, and it really works for me!
