Excuse me while I giggle a little at the wittiness of my title. ;)
My days have been linked with hours, even minutes, of hungry games lately. I don't know what has happened, but my brain and my stomach have apparently joined forces to sabotage my weight loss goals. I'm eating the correct amount of food, but find that I'm hungry about 15 minutes after I eat! That's when I start the "games".
My first game is "Pinterest The Hunger On the Back Burner". This game is super enjoyable and involves little skill. I simply sit at my desk (far away from food) and sip flavored water while perusing the pages of Pinterest. The second game is "Hide and Not Seek". This particular game involves some pre-planning. The goal is to not see any tempting food when I open the pantry door. I've put the menacing snacks behind the cans of diced tomatoes and towering boxes of oatmeal. The third game is simply named, "Carrot Land". The strategy is to make my brain and stomach believe that if I can't handle the hunger for one more minute, the carrots in the fridge are my only option. This game seems to work amazingly well. The last game I play is called "Rolo Polo". This option is only used as a last resort. It involves remembering my goals, short and long term, and making a conscious decision not to feel like a Rolo Polo ever again.
Who says dieting isn't all fun and games?!

The problem I have with pinterest is that it makes me hungry. All those pretty pictures of food that is most likely SO UNHEALTHY makes me crazy. It's food porn really.
