Physical Intelligence - Day 19

Last couple of days have become PIE DAYS.  That is, I gave up all resistance after opening the fridge to snack away at a family size Apple Pie and continuing into today, a family size Blueberry Pie.  There was no sign of delayed gratification and the extent of the nibbling shows up in pretty straightforward visual.  Where there was half an Apple pie yesterday, there is no apple pie today and where there was near complete Blueberry Pie today, there is a quarter left.  That I have lost 4lbs is good but compared to where I was this time last year, I came off a much bigger baseline and got myself 2lbs under 200lbs.  In all by this time last year I had lost four times the amount of weight under comparable gym efforts.   That is the extent of my nibbling.

There is also another mindset that I have noticed.  I am beginning to treat gym as a "job" and the pie snacking is a psychological payment system.  This is not an act of rewarding myself for habit reduction, this is psychological payment for engaging the job of "gym".  In this regard how different is this behaviour to that which is described by the term "comfort food".
