Mindless eating update

It's been a couple of weeks since I changed my diet.  I'm feeling the benefits to my health already.  I've really reduced my intake of refined sugar, bread and saturated fats from things like bacon etc.  What I'm noticing is that I'm not as bloated as I used to be.  I'm not gassy and I feel more alert.  I'm not a believer in diets and cutting out different types of foods completely.  I'm believer in eating good quality foods in moderation.

Since I started tracking what I'm eating I'm shocked at what a good portion size is Vs what I was eating.  I'm actually staggared by the amount of food I'm was consuming along with the poor quality of it.

Seeing exactly what I'm eating through the tracking app is extremely beneficial. It has the same effect as watching my I Ho Chuan numbers grow.  We talk about the benefit to tracking our numbers and the motivation it provides.  The same thing is happening when I see that I've stayed under my daily, weekly target.  

It is more difficult eating properly on the road but far from impossible.  I used to frequent drive through fast food places for lunch because it was quick and easy.  Now I've changed to going to Save On foods and grabbing thier pre cut fresh fruits with a side of hummus, some sliced salami along with nuts and some cheese.  This type of meal makes me very happy which makes eating better a lot easier.  

I'm feeling the benefits of the choice I've made and because of these noticable benefits it's unlikely that I'm going to allow myself to fall back into the poor eating habits.
