Applying Self-Limits

I’ve talked about this before, but one thing I occasionally find tricky is following through plans or limits that I have given myself. For instance, I try to eat both a balanced diet (in my case, keto, but balanced based on that premise), and to also limit the number of calories I eat per day. Why? Because it’s easy for me to idly just sit and eat, or snack on something. And I don’t like the path that leads me down.

I’m still trying to figure out how to limit myself well without any form of cravings, but today I made it further than I planned on. I wasn’t overly hungry for lunch, so instead of a larger meal, I had around 300 calories worth of food. Dinner was a bit larger, and I even had a few snacks, but I kept myself from going completely wild, and therefore ended the day well below my max caloric allotment.

Will I do the same tomorrow? Hopefully. Like I said, I’m still trying to figure out a good balance of eating enough that I’m not hungry, and I can achieve my goals, while not just downing food any time I’m near the kitchen, and without having cravings. But, I’m slowly making progress in the right direction.
