The New Rules
So far the new rules I've made for myself are working, and to my amazement, I've been able to stick to them pretty well.
Rule #1: No eating after 8 PM. Not only have I been able to keep this one, I've also been eating considerably less then I was - for example, I'm having little or no dessert most days.
I find that if I think about it, I realize that I'm full (even uncomfortably full) by the time I've eaten no more than half as much as I used to eat. I still feel "hungry", but it's purely a psychological hunger. My body is often actually feeling almost overfull at the same time. It's odd to feel simultaneously full and hungry, I must say.
Rule #2: In bed by 10:45 PM. This allows me a full seven hours in bed. I don't always sleep, and last night I kept getting up because new verses were coming to me, but I'm feeling more rested and generally better.
I hope I can keep this going!
