Veg bunches As I write, I am sitting here munching a bowl of popcorn.  Granted it’s “healthy” popcorn, not heavily buttered or sweetened but that’s not the problem.  The problem is I am eating unconsciously and by habit, not because I am hungry and need fuel to function.  The problem is I am doing something else (reading email and browsing the internet) and not focusing in the taste of the food or the signals my body is trying to send me, saying I’m full and don’t need to eat more.

Fortunately one of those emails was my Dailybread365 reminder.  Now I have been known to on occasion skip these daily reminders, maybe even delete them withont reading them but every now and then I open it up and read Lucy-Ann Prideaux’s  healthy nutritional guidelines and I am redirected back on track.

They remind me the the autopilot systems on an airplane.  The pilot puts in the location that he wants to go to and the plane’s GPS system detects when the plane is off track and corrects it’s heading.  Lucy-Ann’s email a day does that for me, helps me see when I am off course and gets me headed back into the right direction.
