Of course I don't mind, I asked for help and if this helps, by all means...thank you.
1. No I don't eat alot of processed foods, and I try to stay clear of sugar subsitutes, I do however use davinci syrups in my coffee in the morning but they are made of splenda. I drink about 64 oz of water a day, I can't bear to drink any more lol.
2. An average day.. okay here goes. I'm a working mom. I get up at 4:30 to get ready for work, make lunches, take the dog out, make beds etc. I am on the road with the bambino and off to day care at 6:30 am. I arrive at my job which I sit MOST of the day except to go to lunch. 4:30 I am out and I do not arrive at home until 6 pm. Then I cook dinner, feed bambino, wash dishes, showers and get everyone ready for bed... with in that time I have about 15 minutes I can sit and play with the little one. I am in bed myself 8:30 - 9 pm. I am on the go, but I don't go much.
3. Coffee (a few cups w/cream, no more than 2 T and davinci syrup) 6 slices of tky bacon for breakfast 9 am...10:30 am I am very hungry, I some times will snack on cheese wedges..........11:30 am I have a big salad, 6 oz tuna, blue cheese dressing 2 Tablespoons, olives and maybe 3 cherry tomatoes. By 2 pm I am hungry, I'll have ham slice or cheese or olives or I'll wait it out until 6 pm when I get home. 6 pm I'll have about 5 - 6 oz of meat, tky, ckn, beef, etc. Usually that is accompanied by my home made coleslaw which I use splenda, but I only eat 2 - 3 tablespoons of that, I'll also have 2 cups of broccoli or cauliflower. Before bed I'll scarf down b/c I'm hungry 1 oz of pepperoni or cheese w/ 1 oz of pork rinds.
4. I've never had a decrease in appetite, some weeks I can control it better, but not when it comes to TOM and the few day's b/4 and after... OY.
I will admit, on occasion I will have a chocolate bar thats Low carb.. but not to often, they give me such gas.
I just want to be fuller and not always thinking of food.
Thanks for your help.
