New Way of Thinking, New Way of Shopping

My habits are improving slowly but surely

As I get back into the mindset of using food as fuel and sustenance and not simply enjoyment, I find that my grocery shopping habits are changing.  Rather than creating a shopping list of canned goods, produce, meats, etc,  creating one with categories titled proteins, fats, and carbs works better sometimes.  I think of my meals in this way as well;  today, for example, I looked at what I lacked in nutrients and what I had too much of by the end of the day and ate a dinner that filled in the categories appropriately.  Choosing foods based on nutritional needs rather than "what I have a taste for" is happening gradually, but naturally.   I don't try for an exact balance daily, however.  I think  a balanced week is more sane for me.

Now that I drink water regularly, I can really tell when I'm becoming dehydrated. My head starts to hurt a little and other little symptoms crop up that I probably used to diagnose as signs of hunger or tiredness.  I now keep water with a slice of lemon at my desk all day at work, and refill it throughout the day.  I buy bottled water so I can easily grab some H20 when I'm going to be out of the house for awhile in the evening or on weekends. I can't say I get 8 glasses a day yet, but I'm getting there!  I haven't had pop in a while, although at times I want some just to get a break from plain water.  Perrier and Pellegrino  with lemon or lime helps a bit.

Currently I notice that I want my old foods mainly when I'm bored.  If I keep a variety of flavors in the house and keep myself occupied, though, my mind doesn't wander to eating.  When I was thoroughly into eating raw last year I wouldn't think of food much at all for hours at a time.  I'm certainly not at that stage yet this time around, but I'm looking forward to it.
