weird oral stimming (current) + avoidance methods to cut back on snacking

 - sunflower seeds ☀️(requires work in the mouth, as of feb. 25 i actually find myself craving them and fantasizing abt eating them) + chew gun afterwards if craving smth sweet

——> other snack foods to consider alongside seeds: tangerines (peel + eat), grapes, carrots, cucumbers (keep in close proximity)

- hold item/utensil in mouth (satisfies oral fixation, distracts from cravings [still needs further testing as i took vyvanse today]) / sensory chewing toy

- activate gag reflex (could possibly reset cravings bc of brain reaction, similarly: fake fall and trigger jumping reaction) -> try in morning to avoid immediate eating upon waking

- re-discover liquid cals in terms of satisfying brain cravings in addition to holding/chewing item 

seen on reddit: 1. place apple in front of you when doing activity. when appetite hits, look at apple and think if you would eat that. if answer is no, you supposedly should be mindful enough to not eat craving

2. when craving food, walk to store without money to see if they have it, then walk back to “retrieve” purse but ideally you’d be too tired to want to go back for craving and craving should have passed.

——> getting outside of house/dorm (obvious one) for hours a day, at least 6 hrs. preferably 8. try above methods when out and test to see which are the most effective.

(new) atomic habits plan | day 3

 current atomic habit goals:

- visualize 1 scene 2x (brought down from 5 minutes cuz i would procrastinate)

   * can also be supplemented with mental triggering reminders (just added this rule since i sometimes struggle to conjure up a strong mental image)

- 3 crunches or leg lifts

- don't eat after 10 pm

  * considered a "drink more water" habit focus, but decided to not stack too many habits on top of each other

~ i can tell my mind is starting to not care abt this atomic habits thing, i’m losing focus and becoming more susceptible to temptation. i almost decided to say f it to not eating after 10 today as well but i decided to just see it through.

jan. 1 - jan. 10 + extra days cuz i failed after new years lmfaoooo

jan. 1

weigh-in: -midday- 194.4 (again, ack!)

* attempted to fast but it was too premature/i didn't prepare myself properly + i was experiencing actual hunger pangs lmfao. i didn't care too much abt breaking the fast bc i was already restricting consistently plus i technically fulfilled my goal of fasting into the new year so i was gucci with it

- fast break: cheese off of 2 pizzas, pepper soup w/ meat (got seconds0

--> at this point, i started to wonder if i accidentally broke my keto/ketosis at some point, or if it was just a combo of the ill-timed fast + eating hyperpalatable pizza cheese + sauce(which may or may not have had carbs) and soup .. and also possibly breaking my "ketosis" because the cravings hit me like a freight train/sledgehammer. i also forgot to take my vyvanse in the morning before church, and took it sometime around like ~3pm and it took 3 hours to kick in, so after finish my 2nd bowl of soup, i was seriously contemplating just full on breaking keto for the day bc i was really craving that pizza. i ended up not rlly eating anything at first (i cant remember if i ate a 3rd portion of pepper soup or not? maybe just ate the 2nd portion later?) but what finally did it was me going thru my xmas present and rediscovering that i had candy canes, which i almost immediately ate. 

- 3 candy canes, total.

i ate one at first, and then part of another a littler later but then the vyvanse FINALLY kicked in, so it was a little later until i ate the 3rd once. just pure sugar. but i wasn't really craving food that strongly, i was just eating to eat kind of. a little later i experienced a little cravings and ate more, and then after that i experienced more sliiightly stronger cravings and snacked a bit before i ended my day

- hard pizza slice, hard oatmeal cookie eaten slowly, tiniest tangerine ever (appetite not really moved by this lmao)

- cashews, 2-4 tortilla chips, small bites of caramel cheesecake, 1 small spoon of melted cookies&cream ice cream 

exercise: not much tbh, pacing

90 day diet (oldish slavic trend inspo) + day and a half diet & keto w/ complex carbs idea

inspired by this video

Day 1: high-protein foods only (keto day essentially)

Day 2: complex carbs/high fiber foods day

Day 3: paleo/fish focused day + veggies (originally simple carbs/cheat day but meh)

Day 4: fruit-only day

Day 5: 2000 calorie day (i think it's originally water fast but i'm shifting it a bit)

Day 6: water fast

*repeat for 90 days, but in differing orders maybe?

----

day 1/2 diet idea:

do a specific diet for day 1, then switch it up the next day midday day, and then the next day also switch up again but in less than 24 hr

sample:

day 1: maybe keto only foods

day 2: keto only foods until sometime between 3-6 pm then switch to primarily fruit/fiber/complex carb foods

day 3: follow till 8pm and then switch to different diet

----

diet idea:

follow: predominantly keto diet model but when cravings pop up, satisfy them with complex carbs and sweet fruit or healthy food like yogurt, pb, etc. - switch it up and eat predominantly complex carbs but use keto foods for cravings
