Cutbacks and Layoffs

I have been attempting to cut a few items out of diet before I even meet with the surgeon on Wednesday.  I have actually gotten to a point that when I slip up I feel really guilty!  I have found that it is easier to stick with these changes if I eat before I get to that point of feeling like I am starving.

Things that I have cut out/back on:

Soda-still a work in progress and this is probably the hardest one for me
Sugars
Breads and Simple Carbs

Another thing that I have been trying to do is not to eat in the car or drink anything in the car besides water.  I have found that when I eat or drink things in the car (Water included) I do not pay attention to the quantity I have consumed.  Now, for the most part this isn't a bad thing with water, it is when it is food and other beverages.

I have also been trying to make sure that I think about what I am eating while I eat it.  This has helped me listen to my hunger signals more and know when I am full.  I have also been putting my fork/spoon/spork down between bites.

Now I am not going to say I am consistent with this, I am trying to be, but I have noticed that when I am I don't eat as much and I feel better since I am over full!
