Kind of forgot I was doing this "naturally thin" thing! I literally have to remind myself to think before I put something in my mouth! Crazy, huh? For instance, my husband brought home a fresh Italian bread from the market and before I know it I was grabbing a piece and putting in my mouth. I wasn't even hungry. Naturally Thin people don't do that, do they? I know I wasn't thinking about what I was doing, I was just doing it. I have to keep reminding myself to slow down! Oh well, you live and learn.
There's always tomorrow...

Day Two--Recap anyone?
I don't know about you, but I need a recap! Here are the ten "rules" in Bethenny's book "Naturally Thin Eating..Unleash Your SkinnyGirl and Free Yourself from a Lifetime of dieting."
YOUR DIET IS A BANK ACCOUNT: Eat a balanced diet. If you eat mainly proteins for breakfast, then have carbs for lunch. If you have oatmeal in the morning, you should probably have a salad for lunch (as opposed to more carbs like a sandwich). It's all a balancing act. Just as you would balance a bank account.
YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL, JUST NOT ALL AT ONCE: Need I say more? Take fast food for instance. Have the Big Mac if you must, just don't have large fries with it as well. Have it with a salad or fruit instead. Have the fries the next time. No need to have both right now.
TASTE EVERYTHING, EAT NOTHING: If you're really in the mood for those fries that I mentioned, have one or two of your friend's fries. Take a taste and move on.
PAY ATTENTION: Be conscientious at all times. Stay in the "now".
DOWNSIZE NOW: Eat from smaller plates. If your used to having a huge steak, downsize your portions.
CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP IN THE CLEAN PLATE CLUB: No matter what your momma says, don't eat every last morsel on your plate. It is so unnecessary!
CHECK YOURSELF BEFORE YOU WRECK YOURSELF: Stop yourself dead in the tracks when you're on the verge of going "overboard".
KNOW THYSELF: Get to the know the real you. Find out what you are truly craving. Is it companionship? Sleep? Thirst? or are you truly hungry?
GET REAL: Eat real food most of the time. Don't put alot of junk in your mouth or you'll end up with some "junk in your trunk".
GOOD FOR YOU: Do what feels good. Do what feels right. Take care of yourself because you matter!
