Drinking Calories

Don't get me wrong: I am not opposed to having a shake or some other treat.

Sometimes, we forget that those drinks/treats have calories.

I have been doing observations of self over the last several days, as I am making changes.

I have noticed that I am reaching for coffee or something else when I am hungry. And I am using the coffee to fill me up. I enjoy a cup of coffee; but I am seeing that it is replacing valuable calories and nutrients.

Today, I am making a conscientious effort to have water with me, and reach for the water when I feel hunger to ensure that it is really hunger I feel.
