Mid-morning Snack

I guess when you get up at 5AM, 10AM is mid-morning because that's when I'm actually hungry again. There have been some days when I've already binged by now, but I've been keeping busy. The house smells great right now because I use non-toxic almond floor wash on the hardwood floors and it's the most wonderful smell! Makes you want to wash floors more often (yah, right, but it is a good incentive.)

My midmorning snack:

• 1 slice whole grain bread (100 cal) with 1 TBLS Peanutbutter, squirt of honey, and 1 inch of a banana
• 1 string cheese
• about 6 grapes.

I admit that I ate about half of the string cheese Baby E left on her tray. Instead she's eating a banana. These days she's enjoying learning how to peel it herself. 

I'm eating 5 small meals a day (or trying to, damn you binging) instead of 3, so this 'snack' is really more like Breakfast Part 2. It would probably be too high calorie for a snack, but it's just about right for a meal (aiming for about 300 calories per meal).

Right now though calories aren't my focus. My focus is to stop binge eating. Each time I eat something and don't binge eat, right now is a VICTORY. So since I haven't done that, it's gold star for me!
