Level 3: Two Meals [4/2/22

Thought distortions. Two meals for the week.

Daily Article Notes

Relevant notes from my daily set of Noom articles.

"Thought distortions" are basically lies we tell ourselves, but often they can have power. Two major examples relevant to me:

All or nothing thinking. e.g. "I went past my calorie cap today, so might as well keep going."
Justification: "I ate a salad at lunch, so I don't have to care about my calorie cap at dinner."

-------

My weight is at a recent high, but I'm not worried. I know what I have to do.

I'd like to start cooking at home more. There are two main meal recipes I want to make over this next week.

Ingredients

Steps: Dump into a slow cooker on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
