I was initially frustrated by my relapse within few days of starting the plan and thought - why not just try small changes on a a weekly basis. That back fired. Not only was I not able to implement the change, but also, I ended up eating worse than I initially did.
I found one that seems simply and allows me to have my morning grain (I eat oatmeal almost daily, without fail). It can be found here. It's great in that it conforms to a basic rule that a fellow OA member suggested - that my food plan fit within a post-it note. In essence it is this:
- Breakfast: 1 fruit serving, 1 dairy serving, 1 grain serving.
- Lunch: 12 Oz vegetables, 1 protein serving, 1 fat serving, 1 fruit serving.
- Dinner: 12 oz Vegetables, 1 protein serving, 1 fat serving, 1 grain serving
Again from the same website:
Allow 4-6 hours between each meal. Weigh all food and liquids precisely. Sugar must be the 5th ingredient on the list. No more than 5 packets of artificial sweetener on any day. Dairy may be substituted for protein after the first 30 days. No fruit in the evening because of how your body processes it.Again, more adjustments will be made in regards to measurements. At this time, I do not have utensils to measure things with, though I have in the past. I will eyeball most things. I like the idea of a fudge factor for artificial sweeteners, though I am lowering it to two packets and a five-hour energy.
Two posts in one day. Just finished my first online meeting. They can be found here. They are daily and at various times during the day. Emailed my sponsor as well. Feeling so so about our relationship. Will keep you all updated.
At this point, I think I have the makings of a food plan.
