Walking the Walk - Day 5

Day 5: It's 10:00 A.M., time to eat my second meal of the day. But here's the thing -- I'm not hungry. I'm finding that happening a lot this week; the clock says it's time to eat, but I don't feel like it.

On the one hand, this is probably a plus. I already know that when I let myself get hungry, I've waited too long to eat. But I'm not convinced that telling people to eat when they aren't hungry is the answer to weight loss, either. Shouldn't we be depending on our bodies' hunger signals to tell us when to eat?

That said, I know that for me, personally, eating regular, healthy meals is key to avoid overeating. Bottom line: My feelings on this five-small-meals-a-day thing are -- so far -- mixed.
