Scheduled Eating Experiment

Below is the schedule I created for myself. The past month I have been semi-committed to it. I am going to try to be even more committed to it this coming month. By the way, I've exercised 2 days this week, already! :-)


Why an eating schedule?
I decided to try an eating schedule to keep myself from eating whatever I want whenever I want. It's easier for me to say no to junk food if I know I'm going to eat a meal or a snack in 45 minutes. I can say no to sweets throughout the day because I know I will be able to have one in the evening.

My Eating Schedule
Snack = fruit or veggie or nuts
Meal  = may include meat, dairy, and grain
Dessert = free choice

Days free of Kohl’s interference:
9:30amBreakfast
11:30amSnack
1:30pmLunch
3:30pmSnack
5:30pmDinner
7:30pmDessert


Working at Kohl’s:
12:00amSnack
2:00amWork “lunch”
4:00amSnack
1:30pmBrunch
3:30pmSnack
5:30pmDinner
7:30pmDessert


On days when something comes up and I am not able to stick to the times I’ve set out in the schedule, I will plan on eating 2 or more hours apart and alternating between snacks and meals with a dessert being the final food of the day.
