Accomplishment? Maybe.

Mar 26, 2009

So at lunch today they had baked chicken. Rather than getting a wrap with the chicken inside, I did it outside. Got the baked chicken and a veggie wrap. I immediatly put half aside in tin foil for a possible snack later, ate most of the chicken (prolly 4-6 oz) FIRST. Then started on the wrap.I ate slowly and found myself starting to get that full feeling about 1/2 through it. So really, I only ate a 1/4 of it. 

Now on a normal day, I'd wait 10 minutes, have another bite... wait, have another bite... and eventually finish it. Instead, I went strait to myfitnesspal.com and adjusted the intake accordingly and threw it away. I still feel very satisfied, not overfull, and looking at my calories for lunch, I am quite pleased.

So I ultimately only had half of the half of the wrap and most of the chicken. But I did it in a new order. Protein first, then the veggie wrap. I found I got fuller faster than when the chicken was IN the wrap. Does that make sense?.... And I also waterloaded before the meal, so we're hoping that full feeling lasts.

Could I be on to something? I dunno. I just feel I accomplished not finishing the wrap. That's important to me. Because on an average day. I would have.
