Eat more! Get skinnier!

I think I need to eat more.  At meal times.  Since I started working ‘outside the home’ again, my eating habits have gone to utter crap.  Over lunch I usually have a dozen rice crackers with one of those wee cans of tuna – or maybe I’ll have a Lara Bar and wash it down with some herbal tea.  Here I thought with me NOT having a calorie-laden lunch – I’d be back down to fighting trim, but it seems the opposite is happening.

The muffin-top approacheth.  When I sit at the computer (which is pretty much what I do at work, and then at home when I’m writing), I am now aware of my stomach over top of whatever waistband I’m wearing.  I think it’s because when I get home from work, I now feel the need to snack/binge on salty and/or chocolaty things.  On account of the fact that I might actually be, I hate to suggest this… HUNGRY?!?

So today, I’m trying something different. I’m going out on a limb. Doing something crazy.  I’m adding applesauce at lunch.  Unbelievable, right?  But maybe if I have that little something more, that’s actually good for me, I might be able to get a handle on these snacky cravings that I’m having later in the day.  I might even have some carrot sticks. (I don’t want to go too over the top, but it might just come to that.)  I’m trying the ‘MORE healthful calories during the day = LESS compulsive salt/chocolate bingeing in the afternoon’ plan… ergo… EAT MORE!  GET SKINNIER!!  Fingers crossed my hypothesis will work.
