Think With Caffeine #9 : Caffeine & Calorie

About time.

Today I am feeling much better. I am already almost 80% recovered from the full swing misery of cold and acid reflux. So, I decided to brew some good coffee as a reward. The water is brewing now and while I am at it, let's have a little chat.

Since I found out the answer to my life-long problem with weight loss, I was ecstatic. I commit to myself to never again under or even over-eat as I have found the amount of food needed for my body to function properly. Today, I am starting all over, especially changing my mindset about calorie. I used to be scared of "calorie" because I am afraid that eating too much would cause me to gain weight. However more often, I would under eat.

For instance, in the morning I would eat only 3 spoons of oatmeal. That is not even a whole cup. With that little amount of food I used to eat, I got extremely starving during lunch and would binge. However, for the first time ever, I felt satisfied. I started adding eating a cup of oatmeal. I wasn't that starving and even ate a bit later than my designed lunch time. For lunch, I had two eggs and six cubed tofu. These were very filling too and makes me hungry just exactly during my dinner time, which is now.

I had coffee during lunch, 8gr sugar with 2 tablespoon of instant coffee. For now, I am brewing real coffee, not the instant one as my brain is shutting down after playing some chess with random strangers. Today, I am mixing 1 teaspoon Arabica and 1 teaspoon Robusta using French Press. I am quite excited how it will turn out. But first, to avoid triggering my acid reflux, I have to eat. The dinner menu today is noodle with half chicken breast, tofu, spinach and bokcoy. As I entered all the information, I ended up eating 1319 calorie. Previously, this number made me afraid but now it's not anymore. What's good is that I am not always thinking about food or feel like I've not eaten in days.

Anyway... my coffee is ready. See you in my next think with caffeine.
