I'll start with a bit of history. I used to be bulimic but I have recovered since 3 years ago thanks to my 2 lovely little DDs. My DH and I have been noticing that I'm incredibly hungry in the morning to 3pm and then I do not want to eat anything else the rest of the day. I might be over analyzing myself but I think this might milder version of bulimia?? allowing myself food in the morning and restricting intake at nighttime??

ANYWAY, I wanted to start a daily food log of when and what I eat and if anybody else wanted to join me eating healthily that would be fantastic!

ooh and I have been eating LOTS of junk food everyday including cleaning up leftover food and not eating proper nice freshly cooked food that all the other members of the bluecats family are offered. It's because I hate waste...but I also DO NOT want to be a garbage disposal. any advice??

To stop you hoovering up the leftovers, spray all leftovers with kitchen spray. That way you only need about 5 seconds of will power and then the choice is taken away from you!

oh my god, spray leftovers with kitchen spray!!! sounds brutal but how can you?? I have been doing a bit better actually (still eating leftover food.. trying not to but I wince at food being thrown away..)

Doing a bit better eating a bit later breakfast has shifted everything better though..

If you don't like waste then buy less food in total. Then you don't feel like you have to use it all up before it goes off. Plan meals ahead a little. Shop with a list rather than randomly filling the trolley. Cook only what is required for the meal, serve up smaller portions and that way family members are more likely to clear their plates, eliminating left-overs.

If you plan better, buy less, cook less and serve less and then encourage anyone still hungry after their meal to top up on fruit or a slice of bread etc., you don't have to deliberately spoil food with kitchen spray. You'll also find you save £££'s on groceries
