I made up a new rule for myself a few days ago and I'm seeing how it goes. It is where I don't eat anything besides tea or milk after 6:00 pm. This specific rule will help me with my plan to have a reverse-ratio diet (I made that term up by myself) where I eat a big breakfast and eat less and less as the day goes on. I woke up at 9:00 am a few days ago, made a beautiful big breakfast for me and my brother (which I posted), and wasn't hungry for the rest of the day. In fact, I actually felt full, bloated, fat, and greasy. My skin was oily. I kept thinking about the egg yolks and hot dog slices in the scrambled eggs and their (and I hate using this term) fat content. I also kept thinking about the granola and Greek yogurt and how I wanted to eat that more often. I want to be more extreme in my diet by eating more vegetables and fruits and less meat and (again, hate this word) fat. This feeling lasted until I came back from dance class and drank some tea. Then I was a little bit hungry. But when I laid down in my bed, I almost felt at peace. I didn't get to sleep right away, but I felt satisfied. When my 14-year-old sister offered me a cookies-and-cream ice cream bar at seven o'clock the other night, I told her about my new rule and elaborated by saying if I were to eat something like that, I would eat it in the morning and that I don't eat desserts at night anymore. She rolled her eyes like she always does and left me with the over-packaged ice-cream box to put in the freezer.
I like this rule. I like how it gives the illusion of easing into nighttime and slumber.
