The Comfort Feeling in Help Me Please

The one thing about changing the way you eat and eating for the better is that it does get easier not to over eat. I am learning when to stop when I am feeling comfortable and not stuffed to my gills. the later is something I have done more then once then when the next meal comes I don’t want it. But then that was when the bag of chips were a thing.
I just couldn’t eat like two pieces of bacon and two eggs it had to be 4 or more and three eggs and a lot of oil. But now I eat hard boiled eggs because I know they don’t have anything but a little bit of salt and they fill me up just as well and I don’t have that gross feeling after I have eaten them.
I have also started eating a lot more fruit and more vegetables and I always eat those first then go to the protein then the carbs. the reason I do this is because sometimes after the vegetables and protein I am not wanting the carbs so there isn’t the extra calories or points. And so far I have been under the points that I can have in a day but then I eat a lot of zero point foods. But just because they are zero points doesn’t mean you can eat the whole bowl it’s everything in moderation.
The one thing I still can’t do is tell you how much a cup is without measuring it. But I am finding that I have usually had enough when I think I have eaten a cup of something and three oz. of meat.
Has anyone done the intermitting eating? I am finding myself doing that sort of because I am not a morning or after noon eater but I do like my dinners because by then I feel like I actually want to eat. But I still don’t like a lot of what I cook. And left overs there is only a selected few that I will eat and it has to be heated up in the oven. I just wish eating wasn’t such a chore and time consuming and then the mess in the kitchen. It seems like when hubby is home I never leave the kitchen because I get done with one meal and then it’s time for another and another and then the dishes are piled almost to the floor. As you can tell I am a lazy cook and a very lazy domestic and I figure why go to all that work cleaning when it’s just going to get to be a ness again in less then a minute? So when I see something that needs doing it will get done but not that day maybe the next day. But it does get done.

Onto something else....

Today is Friday and that means that the weekend is here and I can start to relax a bit and not worry too much about what didn’t get done during the week. And on Monday hubby has a dentist appointment and he told me I can go into a grocery store to look around…I just laughed at him because he knows I can’t just go into a grocery store and just look around. I always find something that I want so I buy it. I always end up spending more money then what I wanted to but things are getting to be really expensive because of the price of supply and demand. And no it doesn’t have anything to do with any of the governments it’s the people who are using these things like gas and food. And unfortunately these things are what I call a commodity and we can not live without them.

I have a question? Why is it not everyone likes Biden? Don’t you think he cares for the people and wants to make everyone happy and make life easier? I think the reason he tool the military out of Afghanistan after 20 something years is because it’s time for the people to start looking after themselves and figure out how to run their own country. yes it’s wrong that the militants are taking over but at least it’s not the American soldiers and the Afghan people need to take charge. And when you always have someone protecting you there is not much that can be done. So I figure with the military gone the country can start to change. I just hope they find a leader who actually likes the people and wants a country that is free to live in.

I think every country has it’s faults but for the most part the people living in that country likes what they have. And if you don’t like something there is always an election that can happen and when the results are in the politicians have to at least pretend to follow up with their promises.
The one thing that I think was done wrong was giving the people all that money and not telling them that some of it is taxable. And now Canada is in major debt and it’s going to take years to balance the budget again and guess what will be going up? Just about everything. But at the time the people wanted this money so they can pay their bills and now they have to pay more taxes. But not knowing who is vaccinated is also a challenge. There are some business here in Canada that have to prove that the workers are vaccinated in order to keep their jobs. There is one province that has to be vaccinated and prove it or they have to go for an education course to explain the whys of the benefits of being vaccinated and then they have a month to get vaccinated or there will be sever consequences. And some schools in the USA have amended their dress code and masks have to be worn by all students and staff. I hope B.C. does that. And all children who are old enough need to get vaccinated because they are the ones who are getting sick and ending up in the ICU. Yesterday we had two people die and more then 600 people got sick. This is way too many and these people should have gotten their vaccines by now. And if people won’t get vaccinated then they won’t be travelling or going to events or out to restaurants or anywhere else that a crowd can gather. I also like the idea of proving that I have been vaccinated because if I want to go anywhere I need to make sure the people around me won’t be exposed to what I might have or not have.

Onto something else....
Please get vaccinated so we can have a normal life like we did back in 2018, I miss those days.
I need to stop here....
Be Kind, Be Calm Be Safe and Behave.
