It's hard to get back into a normal pattern of hunger when I overeat.

Egg salad and bacon sandwich with blueberries and kiwi

Isn't the fruit pretty?

Pancake wrapped sausage

Taffy

Chocolate

Pizza

White cheddar cheese and crackers, I'm not certain how many I ate...probably about 12-15 with 2-3oz cheese. I have no picture because I did not take it.

These are crackers topped with either peanut butter or nutella and marshmallows and then broiled

Stayed up too late again and ate out of a sense of anxiety, not hunger. I really need to pay attention to things that appear to cause me problems with eating when I am not hungry.

Orange juice and pumpkin mini muffins

Mini bagel wrapped hot dogs, carrots, cherries, mini cookies, pretzel fish

Taffy

Combos (I ate about half of these)

Homemade chicken nuggets and crash hot potatoes

(I have been trying to serve myself smaller portions so I don't eat past full but I do better with this some times than others. This is half the chicken breast and 3 small red potatoes...probably one potato too many)

The other half of the chicken breast

(It was very tasty and I just kept thinking about it. I don't think I was really hungry when I ate it, I just wanted it)

Mini Ben and Jerry's ice cream

( I am developing a thing for mini food)

Crackers with cheese spread

(I am definitely not hungry here, just stayed up too late and feeling anxious)

More crackers

(Yes, it's the same picture)

Mini pumpkin muffins

More muffins...cinnamon this time

I think this overeating (binging?) was due to several factors. I stayed up too late (2am) for no real reason, was feeling kind of anxious, and I think I allowed feeling "bad" about eating the rest of the chicken when I was not hungry throw me.

Scrambled eggs, bacon, toast with butter

Toffee chocolates

Popcorn

Klondike

Orange juice

LJS chicken planks (I realized I really only wanted the chicken, not the sides,

so I just got the chicken)

Pistachio and almond crackers, white cheddar cheese, toffee chocolates

Mini donuts and orange juice

Egg salad sandwich, carrots, cherries, vanilla pudding

Taffy (I also ate the little teddy cookies from yesterday's lunch)

Two chimichurri sliders (yummy!), sweet potato french fries (about 1/3 serving), and oreo cake from TGI Fridays

(no picture...not comfortable whipping the camera out in a restaurant!)

The cake was too much. They had little mini desserts that I could have had, and planned to have, but I ordered the whole regular sized dessert. I'm not sure why.
