Going off my meal plan

If you had asked me a few months ago whether I thought I'd ever go off a meal plan I would have laughed and said never. Never ever! But today I am sitting here thinking about going off my meal plan and eating what I feel my body needs. I have some pretty good hunger signs back and I think I know my meal plan well enough that I could guesstimate how much I need to eat. I'd have to make sure I'm not undercutting things, but I really do feel that I could go off my meal plan and do ok. Weird I know!! It isreally  amazing how much change I've gone through these past few months. I never thought I'd reach this point. Eating what I feel like, stopping when I'm full..: not feeling like I need to binge and not eating too much. It feels like a miracle! Really it does!!

This morning I had 2 waffles with some syrup and greek yogurt with blueberries. None of it was measured. I also had coffee with some soy milk in it. For snack I had all bran cereal with soy milk and blueberries. Lunch was taquitos and salad and I felt full so I didn't eat all the spinach. Then by 4 I was hungry again do I had an apple and some cinnamon square cereal, and I was still hungry so I had a few more cinnamon squares and a cup of tea with soy milk. Now I feel content and will be ready for dinner at 6 or 7. This feels amazing. I can't even explain how amazing this feels. Listening to my body for the first time in years and years! I am so grateful. My body is resilient. I've put my body through so much but it is bouncing back stronger than ever! 

Intuitive eating here I come!!
