In my last reply my question was whether you'd like to know which I mix with which, just to clarify. Because I already gave you many details of course 🙂

I'm sprung. I just thought maybe you were eating whole tomatoes alone like apples, which is one step above self-harming in my weird little world. Also, I surmised from the get-go that I would likely be overeating in your eyes! What are your recipes?

Day 192: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00)
Day 191: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.

-12 pomodoros (day 63)
-20 deliveries in 5 hours ( -10 minutes for food ) Again though this does not fully depend on be, but I did place myself at a position to get this "luck"
-Organizing room in the morning which I'm constantly postponing

1 Thing I could do better 
-Again stay focused during breaks. 3, 15 minutes are the limit accordingly

It's difficult to say what overeating is if you don't know what you want to be eating, and what your goals are. 🙂 So if you tell me your goals, and what exactly you eat, I'll tell you if you overeat.

Here's how I combine my foods:
Orange - Alone
cucumber,tomato,avocado brazil nuts,edamame (chopped up and mixed apart for edamame)
flax,chia,soymilk,quinoa,cranberries,salt,almonds mixed

Banana , spinach and peanut butter, sometimes with carrot - i don't cut em, i just dip 
peas, cabbage, olive oil chopped up and mixed, peas mashed so that they soak the olive oil.
lentils,portobello,cranberries,almonds,nutritional yeast mixed

Dinner 
Apple alone
Two carrots alone
Rice(Whole recently) mixed with raw tahini and salt.

LEt me know what ya' think.

By the way I don't really mind eating whole tomatoes, what is the problem with it in your mind? Is it the taste? Or the fact that it may splash liquid everywhere? 🙂

- The breakfast mix with soymilk (and salt) sounds good and an orange in the morning also does me well. And on the side is the salad-ish (chopped cucumber and tomato) deal + edamame? A lot of exciting tastes and textures for the morning 😛 I've just been doing cereals/oats + whole (now lite) milk for years.

Banana , spinach and peanut butter, sometimes with carrot - i don't cut em, i just dip 
peas, cabbage, olive oil chopped up and mixed, peas mashed so that they soak the olive oil.
lentils,portobello,cranberries,almonds,nutritional yeast mixed

- Yum, bananas. Actual large branches of adult spinach plain/with peanut butter? 😮 Carrots in peanut butter? Heh - Lunch is all raw too (I mean, lentils need boiling in water of course)?

Dinner 
Apple alone
Two carrots alone
Rice(Whole recently) mixed with raw tahini and salt.

- I thought the carrots would be dipped in tahini, but no - rice! I would be eating the carrots over 5-10 minutes (hard to chew up and get down, here) while on the forum. lol 

By the way I don't really mind eating whole tomatoes, what is the problem with it in your mind? Is it the taste? Or the fact that it may splash liquid everywhere? 🙂

- I'd never seen anyone bite into a tomato, or even just segment one and eat it plain by hand, until I saw my boss do it at quiet times in the restaurant I worked in. It rarely seemed that he ate a full meal on the job in case perhaps that it would slow him down. It didn't look very enjoyable - and I think my boss punished himself and us a bit too much. Never considered the splashing.

I know I overeat. I eat because I'm bored and emotionally unsatisfied, and feel constrained when out of the house - so it's great to get home and load up on 'healthy' - though still comforting - food (sorry to get so lengthy on your journal thread). I would have some DM conversations about diet on GQ but it's sort of taken a backseat to other things, and is steady-going anyway.

I don't see why lengthy posts are a problem. 

Your boss's practice sounds genious 🙂 As long as he got all the nutrients he needed later.

About your eating out of boredom. Well, if you don't want to eat those things, perhaps try setting out a food schedule like me. It doesn't have to be in grams, perhaps you could just measure it in cups or units in the cases of vegetables and fruits, but to have something that you know you're hitting, and it becomes like a sort of a game.

Alternatively you can try how I started out. Just ban yourself from added sugars for example for 90 days, or some other sort of food that you consume and wouldn't like to. You may even start with 21. Don't have to go all the way to 90, and let's see if you can do it!

Day 198: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.

-12 pomodoros (day 70)
-Having Tried on the pants I bought for riding the bike even though I've been pondering whether to delay
-Having slept for 7.5 hrs, contributing to health (Even though it meant I did less deliveries

1 Thing I could do better 
-When a guy tried to steal my bike, not just chase him and hit him, but also lock him out straight away, so that the people around will have timeto call the police, and save a few more bikes, that he's going to try and steal in the near future(Very likely)

Which brings me to the unperfect condition I was in.
I was with a new R-PUR breathing mask which made the breathing conditions a bit more difficult to me,
I was feeling full 2 hours after a big meal.
I was with a helmet on.
I was with new bike tights on which have a Huge gel bubble in between my legs

Primarily I need to address the taking off of the breathing mask and the amount and time of eating + taking care of sleep in the following days., so that I may continue to stay alert, just as I was yesterday

Wow someone tried stealing your bike? It's good that you were safe, I know where I live there are people who try breaking into vehicles all the time; and they'll pull knives out if you try to approach them about it! Seriously, good thing you are safe.

It was a place with lots of people, so It's unlikely he would've stayed, police would've come quickly enough... That said, of course things could always go all kinds of wrong so should indeed pay attention to that.

-12 pomodoros (day 72)
-1 hour run on the beach, without shoes, a lot of the time within the water+ continuing to run despite having my wet swim shorts rub all my genitals ( Made a run because the sea had a black flag, and swimming wasn't really an option, at least not in a linear way, since the waves would keep throwing me away
-Having gone to show my bike again to mechanics, since it has noises in the front wheel (it is moving from side to side a bit)

1 Thing I could do better 
-Pay more attention to time, especially during the whole morning workout period

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.

-Making a decision not to borrow friend's carbon road bike. It's too much of a risk, because what if it breaks? It is not worth it. Plus I was told that training with an MTB could be just as effective.
-Buying a new front wheel, hopefully this makes the bike more effective, and does no more damage
-Finishing the "Net worth" yearly freelancer report

1 Thing I could do better 
-In the morning write task priorities, so that when things go out of schedule which they very often do, I'll be a bit more clear what I should stop or continue doing,.

Today It happened... I am now almost three workout days in debt, and today I just bluntly slept for about 3 hours in the afternoon and so avoided the workout.
Indeed a lost battle, but not yet the war. Just when feeling sleepy gotta put my clothes on and leave on unday

1 Thing I could do better 
-Gotta continue researching food schedule to see why I'm dozing off all the time and how I can avoid it.

It is mostly in effect inthe afternoon. And I believe the reason is volume. One more assumption is that it is the sugar drop becase of the cranberries and instead of spreading the 50g on two meals (breakfast and lunch) I may try spreading it into all three.
